Travel Friendly Greens!
Hey guys,
I’m in Paris and having a blast with my mom!
We got here a couple days ago and have been non stop exploring, drinking yummy lattes, eating warm pastries, and walking around. It’s SO cold here compared to LA but there’s something so cozy about being bundled up and sitting at a cafe people watching. It’s one of our favorite things to do next to shopping haha!
Even though I’m traveling, I like to keep up with my routine back home. WHY? Because it makes me feel good, have more energy and think CLEARER! Yes, it’s harder when you have jet lag but no matter what I start the day with a sweat sesh and eat enough greens for the day.
Whenever I book hotels I try to find one with a gym. The hotel I’m staying at has a nice set up for me to continue my workout program that I’ve been on back home. If I’m staying somewhere that doesn't have a gym, I use a towel and body weight to do a quick abs and booty circuit using a resistance band (which I always pack with me). Thankfully my mom is the same and works out 7 days a week so we are on the same schedule motivating each other to move and sweat before breakfast.
On the GREENS front, I knew that was going to be harder to keep up with while traveling. I’m so spoiled in LA, everywhere you go there’s a new and delicious plant based restaurant but it’s not so convenient to find abroad! Some of the green juices I’ve had here haven’t met my needs and darker greens like kale and root veggies are harder to find. My mom shared THIS veggie stock recipe a while back- using veggie scraps to make a delicious broth so when I found ZENB Veggie Sticks and Veggie Bites I got the sampler to try! OOOo boy they are DELICIOUS.
Their Veggie Sticks are made of whole vegetables including the cob of corn, peel of a beet, and the seeds/stems of a bell pepper- parts that have good fiber but typically thrown away. I love how ZENB is on a mission to drive change within the food industry and inspire people to reduce food waste!
Their Sampler pack also comes with the Veggie Bites which were great to have on the airplane thanks to the resealable pouch to easily carry in my bag. There’s a full cup of veggies in each pouch and they offer a variety of yummy flavors:
- Sweet Potato, Mango, and Cinnamon
- Sweet Corn, Pineapple, and Cardamom
- Summer Beets, Oranges, and Cacao Nibs
- Edamame, Mango, and Matcha
- Red Bell Pepper, Tomato, and Ancho Chile
My favorites are the sweet potato, mango and cinnamon and Edamame, Mango and Matcha. You can read more up on these veggie snackshere.
These have been my life saver while traveling. First time buyers can order a sample pack now for $1.99 + shipping (it’s the cheapest I’ve seen it) here. Let me know if you give these a try and your favorite stick or bite flavor!
Off to explore more of Paris with my mom!
See ya
