I had to comment and tell you that I loved this post! I especially love the tip about using an ice bucket if you don’t have a fridge in your hotel room. We’re doing a road trip at the end of this summer and I’m printing this post out so I can follow your tips.

This is a great blog. I’m trying to become more educated about food, especially for my son’s sake. It’s moms like you that help make it easier. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Thanks, Deb. When we started using the Thermoses, neither Kleen Kanteen nor Sigg made insulated bottles (that I knew of, anyway). So it’s good to know there are more options now.

Try the Klean Kanteens. They make double-walled insulated stainless steel bottles in a variety of sizes and they all have interchangeable caps with the option of a wide mouth “cafe cap” (similar to the lids on travel coffee cups, but this screws on) so you don’t have to chug it like a regular water bottle!

I hear ya about spending more time packing food than clothes. I waaaaay over-pack food for road trips. I worry about what’s out there. last couple hotels we stayed in I filled the fridge up to capacity and I still had food on the counter by the coffee pot. (I like the portable kitchen idea.) Camping is even harder because I’m packing for a week in he ADK. Fortunatly there is a small local fruit stand not far from where we camp so I will go there to stock up if necessary. I feel like I’m missing a family member if I don’t pack half my pantry and fridge for a road trip!

I loved this post. I wish I had read something like this when my kids were little. They are all in the their twentys now. We did a lot of travelling with our three kids when they were little and we did pack what I thought were healthy snacks but we could have done so much better. Excellent suggestions here!

I love this post! Such great ideas. We’re planning to take Food Revolution Fridays on the road through an 8000 km, 8 state road trip and I’m looking forward to the challenge! I am going to look for the “Healthy Highways” book to take along.

Thanks for the great tips! My husband and I have been eating organic for the last year (that first month was rough!) and are always at a loss at what to eat on the road. I am ashamed to admit that we frequently end up not eating anything until we get home which isn’t very healthy either, but we’re still new to this and with a baby on the way, it’s going to get more complicated!

such great ideas! i came over from Simple Organic’s similar post. Hubby and I are taking our first road/camping trip soon and I definitely need to be thinking about what to pack…not only for the driving hours, but meals for camping. thanks for the inspiration to stay healthy too!

You’re welcome, and thanks for the info on the boxes. I’m trying to get away from pasteurized milk altogether (I’ve never seen low heat pasteurized in our area) except for cooking (because, at that point, what’s the difference?), but I have to nab my friend that knows where the raw milk is- not easy since she’s a new mom.
