Guest guest Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I'm traveling from the Midwest to Hawaii next month. It's a long journey with the layovers, more than 11 hours. The only food available on the plane will be snack boxes (for purchase). I have seen these on past trips, and they're pretty disgusting--chips and jerky and cookies, etc. So I will bring my own food. Any suggestions for items that are reasonably compact, practical, satisfying and substantial...and perhaps a little bit special? I'll be staying at a spa-type resort that serves excellent vegan food, so I'll be fine once I get there! Thanks. Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I use Think Organic & Lara Bar, they look like candy bars but aren't. They are raw friut and nuts, they're both VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE. They have different flavors ,mine favorite are ThinkOrganic-cashew pecan, Lara Bar-cashew cookie. found them with the other nutritional bars at WHOLE FOODS MARKET here in Arizona, from 1.39 to 1.69 each they are delish : ) hope this helps and have a wonderful trip...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I always carry cut up fresh veggies and dip in a soft sided cooler, along with a water bottle. I prefreeze the water bottle, and sip it as it melts, or fill it halfway and freeze, then fill it with cold water the rest of the way, in order to drink it sooner. I also like homemade popcorn, Fritos, dried figs, dates, walnuts, raw cashews, GF pretzels, and fresh fruit (remember to carry a ziploc bag for the pits and stuff). Make a trail mix out of your favorite munchies. Remember to carry a wet washcloth in a ziploc bag for quick cleanups, and any utensils you might need. Check the local HFS or Whole Foods for microwavable soups, rice bowls, and noodle bowls that are GF. I have found several, such as some from Thai Kitchen. HTH!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Certain types of plastic are better than others for refilling. I'm not sure which is which, but the ones I use never get a plastic taste or anything, so I'm going to assume they're fine. But yes, I had heard that plastics are not good to refill, and I don't refill some types. Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 i've heard that toxins from the plastic bottle leach into the water when you freeze and then thaw it. (similarly, you shouldn't let your water bottle sit in the sun, becaiuse the heat causes leaching too.) sorry, i can't remember where i learned this. lucky for me i don't like my drinking water chilled anyway! best wishes alice On 12 Feb 2007, at 04:58, sahmomof8 wrote: > I prefreeze the water bottle, and sip it as it melts, or > fill it halfway and freeze, then fill it with cold water the rest of > the way, in > order to drink it sooner.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yes--I read about this in a Dr. Weil publication. He have a rather strong warning against reusing the cheap plastic bottles, too.
