Whether you're traveling for work, fun, or the holidays, there’s no denying that travel can derail your health goals. Long airport lines, limited food options, and unpredictable schedules? It’s a recipe for falling off track. But it doesn’t have to be.
The Struggles of Staying Healthy on the Road
Let’s be honest—keeping up with healthy habits while you’re traveling is not easy. Here are just a few reasons why:
-
Limited Healthy Options: Fast food and convenience stores reign supreme in airports and rest stops.
-
Low-Quality Ingredients: Even when you try to eat clean, most grab-and-go meals contain seed oils, added sugars, and poor-quality proteins.
-
Lack of Fresh Produce: Many destinations don’t prioritize whole food nutrition.
-
Meal Time Madness: Delays, traffic, and irregular schedules make it hard to stick to any routine.
-
Peer Pressure: Traveling with others? It's easy to go with the flow—and off the rails.
-
Jet Lag & Fatigue: Traveling zaps your energy, which often triggers stress eating and cravings.
-
Dehydration: Airplane cabins are dry, security makes you toss water, and you’re often too busy to hydrate.
-
Overpriced Food: Especially the healthy stuff. (And often, it's not even that healthy.)
How to Travel with Your Juice (Yes, It’s Possible!)
You might not be able to bring your blender through TSA, but here’s how to take your juices with you:
✅ Freeze your juices solid before your flight
Pack 4 bottles in a 1-gallon Ziploc (double-bagged for condensation). Keep them touching so they stay frozen longer. They must be fully solid to pass TSA screening.
✅ Take them out for security
Frozen items are allowed through TSA but will be scanned.
✅ Call your hotel ahead
Ask for a mini fridge in your room to store your juices once you arrive.
You can also pack juices frozen in your checked luggage. This little bit of prep can make a huge difference in how you feel while away - whether it's a work trip or vacation.
Juice Away the Jet Lag
Daily green juice is a non-negotiable while traveling, especially if you want to return home feeling better than when you left. The chlorophyll from dark leafy greens helps:
-
Alleviate bloating
-
Strengthen the immune system
-
Eliminate cravings
-
Hydrate your cells
-
Support digestion
