How to Have a Real Food Foodie Road Trip – What to Pack!

A mini-van almost packed to the gills, ready to roll.

We are a family who loves to travel, and our most recent epic road trip took us to Michigan. But, travel can wreak havoc on anyone’s best attempts to eat healthy. Not always. Check out my post below where I show how we traveled across the country while (almost exclusively) staying on our Real Food Foodie Lifestyle (i.e., we ate really healthy in spite of being on the road). It meant extra work, which isn’t always the thing you want to do after a day of being in the car, but I’m simply not willing to eat crap food which is most often what’s served in restaurants.

Recipe: Coffee Shake

By

 

Morning Mocha Protein - looks like a lot of stuff, and I guess it is, but it still only takes a couple of minutes to make.

I get asked a lot about the things my family eats. Here’s the breakfast Greg usually has. Lucky for me, he’s happy to have the same thing day in and day out. On occasion, I rotate other things into his breakfast options, but I’d say the one he gets most often is his Coffee Shake, and he LOOOOOVES it. I love it because (it’s easy and) I can make this hours before he wakes up and it’s sitting in the refrigerator for him.

Recipe Nourishing Chocolate Pudding (Gluten Free)

I’m fond of chocolate, and I’m sure my long time readers know that. It’s not often that a day goes by where I don’t have some rich, super dark, organic (and fair trade, of course) chocolate. My chocolate-loving sista, Lauren, is my kindred spirit in all things chocolate.

I’ve made a number of raw vegan chocolate recipes in the past, but it was time to change it. Nowadays, I find myself looking for ways to get pastured organic eggs in my diet as well as grass fed butter (I’ve come a long way). I figured chocolate pudding would be the ideal way to add them.

Berry Princess Ice Cream (Recipe)

By

We make a lot of ice cream in our house so I hope you’re ready to be bombarded with ice cream recipes. Ok, I won’t go too crazy on you, but making ice cream has got to be one of the easiest things to do. And, it’s super fun if you have kids.

So, if you don’t have an ice cream maker then do yourself a favor and buy one. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to get one. We use ours once a week, if not more. Sometimes we have ice cream for breakfast because it’s appropriate and healthy the way I make it (eggs, fruit, and butter? why not?!). Here’s my dream ice cream maker… Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream Maker. Greg, if you’re reading this… hint hint.

Today’s recipe is full of organic berries, coconut oil, and grass fed butter. Oh, and some raw pastured organic eggs. If you’re uneasy about having raw pastured organic eggs then you can omit them and play with the recipe. Honestly, sometimes I think it’s not a big deal at all and other times I naturally can’t help but wonder. If I do raw eggs, it’s only if they’re fresh, pasture raised, and organic. I wash the outside of them, too.
