Balancing Nutrition and Travel with a Walking Taco Salad🥗🌮

March 2018

Another weekend of dance travel in the books💃. 10 routines performed by Emily and Ella with Champion Legacy Dance in the Windy City.

Traveling and eating healthy can be challenging unless you have a PLAN. One hack I tried this weekend worked really well!  

• Batch cook sweet potatoes a day or two ahead of travel

• Brown meat of your choice 

• Shred vegetables such as kale, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts in a food processor —this works better than romaine or spring mix because it is not as moist. 

• Salsa- Kirkland organic salsa is my favorite

The night before we left, I assembled my baggies. Place sweet potato, ground meat and salsa in one baggie and shredded vegetables in another. wholly guacamole got left at home, be sure to pack a healthy fat with your salads to increase nutrient absorption. I packed four of each and ended up eating one for breakfast on our last day. Remember breakfast is just another opportunity to nourish your body, it doesn’t have to be eggs and bacon, bagels or donuts.😋 

Not all of my nutrition was ideal this weekend, but it was nice to have four solid meals guaranteed. 

Get creative with your salads and bring them with you. Save money and gain nutrients!
