I’ve been a touring musician and vegan for years. Lately I’ve been leaning more and more towards a raw lifestyle and am about to leave for a 6 week European trip. I plan on packing a bag of chia seeds for soaked chia “pudding”, a few homemade larabar type things, and Trader Joes single serving raw almonds. These are the best suitcase food! They’re already divided into portions so you don’t need to worry about spilling a big bag and they’re always fresh.

A carrot peeler and small knife come in very handy. When I have time to shop I’ll stock up on fruits and veggies, and unsweetened almond milk. I know the commercial stuff isn’t raw, but I’m not dedicated enough to pack a blender in my suitcase!

I may also throw in some hummus mix…if I can’t eat raw at least I can eat vegan.

Happy travels, and thanks for sharing your tips.

I travelled last summer to Texas by vehicle and was raw 90% of th time. I dragged my blender along and kept my containers filled with raw fruits and vegetables in the cooler. I also pre-scouted out places I could get smoothies and juice. Otherwise, I would order a double size of salad (try to pick out a good buffet place) and I did bring my own dressing. You can do it…just takes a little planning.

Cheers,
Heather

Sarah,
I’m really enjoying a new foray in to raw food. I’m starting with breakfast and lunch at this point. I think you’ve mentioned food combining before–do you know much about this. Can you post more on this, maybe some resources to learn more.
Thanks,
Jessica

I would agree that air travel is harder, but the great thing about eating a low fat raw vegan diet is that you can usually always find bananas! And a salad at night is not too hard to come by. Thanks for stopping by!

These are some good tips – travel can be hard enough for the average veg*n (though it keeps getting easier, year after year, with all the options becoming available) but traveling raw… it’s time has not yet come. Definitely, plan ahead!
