Whether you’ll be out playing in the urban jungle or exploring quaint towns and nature dreamscapes, the best weekend getaways are the ones where you feel energized and balanced throughout AND return refreshed and glowing. To help you look and and feel like a goddess during and after your trip, here are 5 simple ways to get in high-vibrational superfoods—without bringing along your entire kitchen!
- Pack Filling + Nutrient-Rich Snacks
Before hitting the road or the airport, pack a bag of filling, nourishing snacks. Mix up your own trail mix with carob chips, almonds, and goji berries that’ll help ward off hunger and work as a real pick-me-up. Organic dates, prunes, and unsalted walnuts or cashews also make ideal sacks since they’re the same kinds of ingredients that you’d find in most energy bars, but are more natural and have far less packaging! You can also opt for bars with clean, wholesome ingredients like Elemental Seedbars, which feature dreamy superfoods like lucuma and mulberry.
- Map Out the Market
The minute you get to where you are staying, figure out where the closest market, farmers market, or health food store is and immediately stock your hotel, AirBNB, or campsite with fresh veggies and fruit, almond milk, and other nourishing necessities. It can be a fun adventure to find the local, fresh gems of your destination like those fruit stands or roadside vendors. If you're in a hotel or condo, you can also request a mini fridge and a blender. Sometimes they’ll bring them with no extra charge!
- Scope Out The Healthy Spots
Start to scope out the healthy places to go, like juice bars, cafes, or even yoga studios, which are known to have the best green juices and kombuchas on hand. While you can always check Yelp, the locals always have the best advice. And you never know–it could blossom into a new friendship.
- Order Colorful Food On The Menu
While you’re out discovering a new eatery or cafe, order various vibrantly colored fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Think a black bean kale salad, a side of roasted butternut squash, a carrot ginger soup, and a grapefruit mint juice. By making magical rainbows out of your meals, you provide your body with a variety of essential vitamins and minerals.
- Supercharge Your Meals with Superfoods
Bring along your favorite superfood blend, like Berry Bliss or Green Dream! If you’re at a restaurant, you can mix them into your yogurt or salad dressing for a detoxifying, immunity boost. If you were lucky enough to snag a blender for your hotel room or have one in your AirBnB, you can also whip up a superfood smoothie. The same goes for adding a cute travel-size packet of Vital Proteins Collagen, which will enhance your beautiful vacation glow! And there’s always the option of supercharging your poolside cocktail with camu camu powder :)
