Cross-country flight. What to pack?


Recommended Posts

I am flying cross-country, including a 2 hour layover. I have a nice insulated bento box, specifically this one: http://amzn.to/tIItVi . It can carry hot food OR cold food, but not both (if I pack a mix of hot and cold items the hot items warm the cold ones and it gets gross).

  • I'd prefer all cold items
  • It could be one meal or multiple "mini meals" but I'd like for the overall composition of protein/veg/fat to fit the ISWF meal planning template regardless
  • Plane-friendly, i.e. nothing stinky
  • I eat pretty low carb. So no sweet potatoes, only small amounts of low-sugar fruit like berries, and the only squashes I eat are pumpkin and spaghetti squash.

Any ideas?

What about slices of turkey or pieces of chicken, plus some avocado, so you can wrap up little turkey/avocado warps, and some fruit? on the side (I was going to suggest hardboiled eggs, but if I smelled hardboiled eggs on a plane I would not be pleased, haha.)

Beef jerky is a travel must for me. It also doesn't need to be kept cold or warm. :) You can order Paleo Packs from this website. I prefer my own home made beef jerky, but these would be handy for travel.

What marinade do you use for homemade jerky? I've never made it without soy sauce/sugary stuff/alcohol/etc...would love a great W30 jerky marinade!

I usually take a top round and have my butcher slice it for me 1/4 inch thick. Then I marinate it in coconut aminos and any spices you may like. I am fond of hot and smokey, so I use a little sea salt, pepper, smoked parika and ground chipotle chili. I started with this recipe and just sort of add what I want in the moment.

Yum, thank you! I think I will do half like that, half marinated in the stir-fry sauce from Well Fed :D

I have also been experimenting with dry rubs for beef jerky, which also turns out really well. I use a lot of combinations of garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and sometimes coffee. Or chili powder.

Wet marinades I have used with success:

Pineapple juice and coconut aminos, with some ginger.

Whiskey and coconut aminos. (I have also used tamari sauce on occasion.)
