I was talking to a friend last week & she was trying to figure out what she could pack healthy for their upcoming vacation. She said, “you need to write a post about this”.  I told her I would do that.

Packing for vacation can be stressful enough, but when you are on a special diet like the AIP diet it can be very overwhelming. I am pretty much back to full Paleo now so it’s a little easier.

I have found that traveling while AIP is easier if you plan ahead. I try to take snacks that my whole family can eat that is healthy for all of us. 

Here is a list of some of the items I pack:

• Honest Jackson Sweet Potato Chips (my favorite) (AIP)
• Honest Jackson Purple Potato Chips (my daughters favorite)
• Epic Bars
• Primal Grass-Fed Beef,  & Turkey Jerky
• Tanka Bar Buffalo Bites
• Epic Bites (different kinds)
• Lara Bars
• Coco Roons
• Primal Grass-Fed Beef Sticks
• Primal Free-Range Turkey Sticks
• Coconut Chips (AIP)
• PaleoNola (grain-free granola)
• Primal Kitchen Dark Chocolate Almond Bars (my husbands favorite)
• Epic Salmon bites (haven’t tried this yet, just saw it on the website) (ordering now, so excited) (AIP)
• Medjool Dates (AIP)
• Organic Black Mission Figs (AIP)
• Navitas Naturals Trail Mix
• Go Raw Snacks
• EXO bars
• Paleo Diet Bars
• Bricks Bars
• Sea Snacks (AIP)
• Raw Almonds
• Sunflower Seeds
• Justin’s Almond Butter Squeeze Packs (Amazon)
• Simple Mills Paleo Products! Muffins, crackers, pizza crusts, etc…
• & much much more!

Most of these are paleo, but some are AIP. That way you know you are getting the perfect snack. 

Make sure you plan ahead & research online restaurants & local grocery stores.

If you have a kitchen where you are going & have more room to pack items here are a few suggestions:

• Simple Meals Muffin, pancake & cookie mixes (these make great grab & go breakfast)
• Wild Planet Salmon – perfect to mix with mayo or avocado & serve with crackers or plantain chips
• Save the Planet Tuna -same as above
• Primal Kitchen Mayo to make Chicken Salad for quick lunches
• And don’t forget to pack your Instant Pot! Perfect for making Chicken Salad! My favorite quick lunch at the beach!

Here is a list of some personal Items that I pack:

• Badger sunscreen (natural & organic)
• Badger sunscreen face stick
• Honest Company hand sanitizer
• Badger After Sun Balm
• Lip Balm with sunscreen

Maybe you are lucky and have a Whole Foods near you & can get most of these items there.  I’m not, so  Amazon is my best friend.  Plus, who doesn’t like shopping in their pajamas!

And don’t forget, a big hat, flip-flops, sunglasses, a good book to read & maybe a refreshing drink with the little umbrella!

I would love to hear what items & AIP/Paleo snacks you take on vacation. Also, when traveling what tips do you have for cooking & eating out? Leave your comments below!
