My job allows me to travel a lot. Some of it is to very cool places with great restaurants and fun things to see. Some of it isn't. But I still think that road food is interesting! To that end, you can count on some posts from the road when it applies. This weekend I hopped a jet plane and traveled to the other side of the country to promote Peanut Butter for Breakfast with the National Peanut Board. (Disclaimer: I work for the National Peanut Board, but this is my personal blog. Nothing here is meant to represent the National Peanut Board in any official capacity. I do genuinely love peanuts and think they are exceptionally nutritious! =)
Anyway, when it comes to road food, I'm in a hurry a lot. And there's also some waiting. It's often the wrong time of the day (for instance, I'm writing this and my body things it's 8:30 and I haven't had dinner yet...it's only 5:30 in LA and dinner's still an hour and a half away). My schedule isn't my own. So what's a girl to do? Here are my top priorities when I travel:
- Take every opportunity to get something nutritious in me, including packing snacks.
- Drink lots of fresh water.
- Workout. Run if the city is a good one for that (BTW - LA is not).
- Stay in my timezone (as much as possible).
- Sleep.
Before boarding the plane, I hit the Starbucks to fuel up and to get a liter of water. Airplane air is SO dry. Two bev service meant I had peanuts and coffee twice, plus Bloody Mary mix (no vodka, of course...I'm working!) which is high in vitamin C, and Biscoff. I also packed snacks - a peanut butter Clif bar. Before I knew it we were on the ground. And it was only 9am in LA. TBC...
