How To Make Healthy Smoothies While Traveling

With the upcoming Memorial holiday and a summer full of vacations, I wanted to share the inside scoop on how you can make healthy smoothies while traveling and stay somewhat balanced next to poolside nachos and margs.

Here’s what I recommend:

• Get a travel blender (I found this one on Amazon for under $35 and it’s super lightweight)
• Pack protein powder (I’ve been using the VeganSmart All-In-One Nutritional Shake).  Use this link to save $7.50!
• Bring individual serving packs for supplements (I love Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and Amazing Grass Green Superfood)
• Visit the local market right when you arrive and stock your mini fridge with filtered water, unsweetened nut milk, or coconut water.  And if you have the space – grab some fresh fruit to throw in (or nibble on throughout the day).

…and that’s it!  Simple, right?  Plus you don’t have to pay $15-$20 for that damn breakfast buffet which you might regret later.

The All-In-One Nutritional Shake

With that said, if you follow me on Instagram, then you know I definitely don’t miss an opportunity to indulge – like those delicious biscuits in Charleston!  However, I honestly feel a million times better when I nourish my body from the get-go, whether it’s a sunrise workout or plant-based smoothie – like I said before…it’s just balance.

I’d like to thank VeganSmart for initiating this post – they asked if I’d be interested in trying their All-In-One Nutritional Shake and after loving it so much, I had to share it!
