When traveling, one most important thing is foods and beverages. Apart of any other important things like documents
, for sure! Travels and foods is standing side by side to support your life especially on your holiday vacation trip.
Joglo Cafe and Resto tries to keep the quality of the foods and beverages, since this will be very important to our guests. Joglo Cafe and Resto provides the local foods and ingredients to serve the guests to experience as a local. Here are some tips to bring while
traveling.
If leaving early in the morning:
1. Muffins – homemade are best. The store-bought ones are kinda heavy on the gut.
2. Yogurt (drinkable or sqeezeable ones for kids work well – no spoons needed!)
3. Blend smoothies and take them along! The strawberry, green flaxie, tropical pineapple and blueberry smoothies will make you feel really good in the morning! For this trip, we chose the strawberry smoothies.
Fresh Fruit: Buy whichever fruit is in season and is easy to peel/eat:
1. Mandarin oranges (clementines)
2. Apricots
3. Cherries (preferably yellow to keep clothes from getting splattered)
Nuts/ Seeds:
1. Almonds, or mixed nuts
2. Sun flower seeds with paper cups as spitters (they are a little messy
but it is the Ukrainian way to travel with a bag of seeds)
Veggies:
1. Sugar snap peas (these we picked from Mom’s garden the evening prior)
2. Baby carrots (or sliced carrots)
3. Ranch to dip (if your kids won’t eat the veggies plain – use a baby food jar and you can toss it when you’re done!)
4. Corn on the cob (tastes just as good cold, just don’t add butter)
5. Baby tomatoes or sliced cucumbers
For longer trips, you’ll need lunch:
1. BLT’s with avocado spread: I bought fresh, soft bread and used avocado spread , then topped with lettuce and tomatoes for one incredible sandwich.
Don’t forget drinks!
Choose low sugar options to keep hydrated. A can of regular soda has
10 tsp of sugar, which is like drinking liquid candy and the recommended
daily amount is 6 tsp. And, I’d much rather eat real candy ;).
1. Unsweetened carbonated drinks like LaCroix satisfy the craving for
something bubbly and are thirst quenching at the same time.
2. Reduced sugar kids drinks (These organic juice boxes are from Costco).
3. Coconut Water (this is my husbands drink of choice)
4. Water, of-course
Tips for traveling with children:
1. Bring pillows and a bed time teddy. Tell kids that it’s a really long
boring drive and they need to sleep, reassuring them that when
they wake up, you’ll be almost there. Repeat until children fall asleep.
This works about 10% of the time but it’s worth trying.
2. Always pack a barf bag. Always.
3. Find a creative way to block sunlight coming into kids windows so
they don’t end up with a sun tan on one leg. And they’ll sleep better.
4. Bring entertainment. We love listening to Adventures in Odessy (great
stories with moral lessons that are entertaining for the whole family).
An ipad is a good idea too for cartoons, but we usually break it out as
a last resort.
