Deepa Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi All, I'm getting tired of just putting almonds and apples in my purse for travel food. I'm wondering what your ideas are for non-perishable and EASY (I don't have time to make beef jerky, though I do have time to make energy bars) snacks for on-the-go. Especially filling ones! Thank you, Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msssjenna Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 other nuts (pecans, cashews, hazelnuts), Larabars, carrot sticks, bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Are you opposed to buying jerky? There are a few compliant brands. I got grass-fed jerky "sticks" from Amazon that got me through the first half of my W30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I am a little anti nut. Homemade beef jerky happens in your oven while you sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Really? I would do that. I always thought I needed a dehydrator. Which cut of meat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes please do share. Is this in Nourishing Traditions? I need to actually sit down and read through that book properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Top round aka london broil, flank or skirt steak sliced thin on the bias. Season with any spices you like. I like spicy so I use salt, pepper, cumin and chipotle pepper. Put on a rack over cookie sheet. 200 degrees for 6-8 hours. I have a dehydrator so let me go check on oven times to be accurate.

Susan W Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Okay chef google says 4-6 hours so maybe not overnight but to me it's still easier than making bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan W Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yep I dont have that. Beef jerky is simple and yummy. Almost food without brakes to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirsteen Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yep, wot Susan said. Trust me beef jerky is quicker and easier to make than any energy bar especially as I buy already really thinly sliced frying steak. I just look for the leanest and use that.

Deepa Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Thank you all SO much. I had no idea you could make beef jerky in the oven safely. Also tried a larabar today- yum! And, will check out some of the other ideas too! I also just discovered TJ dried veggies in a bag and Go Raw's lemon cookies (watch out though- I ate the whole bag in 20 minutes!)

lalaparker Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I like those Lara Bars... they have certain ones that don't have any added sugar. My favorite is the banana bread one. I went to a conference a couple of weeks ago and would have died without those bars! My options on the "continental breakfast" was bagels, yogurt, muffins or pastries. I also bought some veggies (carrot and celery sticks, don't think they have to be refrigerated??) and put them in my purse in case I got stuck at lunch. (Which I did, they served pasta! It was a total carb fest the whole week. I'm still frustrated by it! ) I was also going to look into those Primal Pac's that are advertised on the W30 approved section. http://primalpacs.com/ Not sure if anyone has had the beef jerky, fruit mix, but it looked good and easy! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoJo09 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Some of these aren't compliant (but would be good post-W30): http://alexxstuart.com/35-real-food-low-tox-living-travel-tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! Love Primal Pacs. I keep one in my drawer at work, carry one in my purse, and will pick up extras when we go on vacation in the fall. FYI, the fruit is very soft and yummy. But this post has me wanting to make my own beef jerky (or salmon...) in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
