Healthy Travel Foods - Almond Joy Energy Balls
Eating healthy when you are traveling is hard. Just like everything else in life, the more you prepare, the better off you will be. Because I have a lot of work travel coming up, I wanted to take the extra steps to make sure my diet doesn’t suffer in the process. Here are a few of my go-to travel foods:
Whole fruits such as apples, bananas and tangerines.
Beef Jerky
String Cheese
Trail mix
Coconut chips or apple chips
Energy Balls
These energy balls are great for the plane. Easy to make, holds well even when not refrigerated and very satisfying. I am a big coconut fan, so here is my recipe for my Almond Joy Energy Balls.
Almond Joy Energy Balls
Ingredients:
1 cup of old fashioned oats

1/2 cup of almond butter

Directions:
Simply add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Once combined, roll into balls in your hand and place onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
