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

My favorite Travel Snacks

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

• 1 scoop of Hemp chocolate protein powder

• 1/2 cup of almond butter

• 2-3 tablespoons honey

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.
