And so a few minutes of throwing things like carrot sticks and homemade granola into a cooler is hardly laborious by any standards and it guarantees that I'll be able to maintain my energy and have conscience-easy food to nibble on for days. And now that I've had to pack for my outings on quite a few occasions, I'm actually excited about the many possibilities! And I couldn't leave you out of all the fun, so here are some of my new and usual traveling go-to's.
This little gem has also been a great recent buy. This brand's breads and cereals are probably the first 100% conscience-approved store bought ones I've been able to find thus far. The ingredients are all completely whole, hearty, minimalist, and recognizable. This cereal is delicious, boasts a complete protein profile, and the only source of sugar? The raisins they throw in there! I love it! Plus the grains are sprouted, so I know I'm getting the nutrients at their best (it's also probably good to be a little wary of regular wheat these days).
So until I get to the place where I make my own bread and cereal (which should be soon!), this brand is a perfect supplement for me. I intend on munching on this with almond milk and sliced bananas in the mornings!
Some of the typical fare may include the following:
Happy travels to anyone else getting their last August kicks in! Be safe, healthy, and enjoy! :D
This one is a newbie! The other day I found a recipe for Baked Oatmeal Cups and simply had to join in! I knew they would make the perfect breakfast/mid-day snack while on vacation with my parents next week. I was also just super curious to try them! I stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home from work to grab some 8oz (wanted 4oz) mason jars and I made the ridiculously simple homemade blueberry jam topping as soon as I got in.

| Look delicious? IT IS! |
The next morning I set out to make my oatmeal cups so I could enjoy one for breakfast and save the other 4 for my travels. What a fun and simple recipe! I topped my little jar of oats with natural peanut butter and my new jam and yes, it was all worth it! These will definitely be a great on-hand grad school snack this fall! Yuuuum!
