I eat sweet potatoes, spring rolls, protein bars, and sushi are some of my favorites! Fruits like peaches, apples, bananas, and strawberries are also fantastic and are much cheaper than airport food!

For my upcoming trip I have an eight- hour layover at Washington, DC Dulles and discovered that there is a reasonably priced vegan restaurant 10 minutes away. I plan on bringing breakfast cookies for the red-eye flight, then taking an Uber to the restaurant, eating lunch, and getting a sandwich to go. That will be my dinner on the second red-eye flight. With two flights from hell in 24 hours, healthy vegan food is must just to stay sane!

Can you make a video on good vegan food to pack when traveling internationally? I want to stay healthy but know that customs doesn’t allow produce so I’m looking for some ideas of what to pack!
@CaitlinShoemaker6 жыл бұрын
cicishort98 as long as it isn’t FRESH produce you are fine! Ie don’t bring whole carrots, fruit (even dried), etc. but if you chop it up and make it into “something” (even just a fruit salad) it should be fine!

I travel internationally frequently and it's fine to *bring* fresh produce, you just need to eat all of it before you arrive at your destination. Bringing fresh produce does, in my experience, almost guarantee you'll get flagged going through security, but once they check the produce they've always let me through with it. Also, you can anticipate that and keep a little bag of produce separate so that flagging the produce doesn't mean they unpack your whole carry on (which they might do even if the produce is on top). On a short international flight, like to Canada or Mexico, it might not be worth it, but on a long haul flight like the ones I take a couple times a year from China to the US it's definitely worth it. Just try to accurately guess how much you'll want, because any extras you might have to throw away when you arrive, depending on how tight customs are. (Tbh I usually just don't declare it and bring it through anyway, but that's definitely a risk.)

I travel weekly and love your ideas. I haven't made sushi to take but its perfect and will try next week. For those of you who want sauce, the regulations are 3.4 ounces. I pack mine in the small 1.2 ounce spice jars. They're clearly small enough to qualify should the 1.2 OZ label get removed and small enough that most TSA people won't question whether they're a personal item. The last time I was challenged I stated I use my peanut butter for a facial mask and walked right through. Just remember, these items must be in your 1 quart baggie with your other personal items. Also, don't forget these rules do not apply to frozen food. If you have a liquid frozen solid it gets through but sometimes you have to say "its frozen". The frozen simply needs to be frozen when you cross through security. It will obviously thaw through out the day. Happy traveling.

I love to take a bag of rice cakes (we get them in like 400 to 600g packages) with me, along some fruit, nuts, bars, chopped veggies (and greens that I put between two rice cakes) and then I'm usually good to go. I can't really have pre-made food that has been sitting around for a while due to histamine issues and I can't have gluten either, so if someone out there has similar issues (or just can't have heavy food when flying), those are great and light to pack! :D

Great ideas, thanks! Until this Spring, I was always surprised when I've heard people that they take food and water in the airplane with them, as the companies in Romania don't allow outside food or water containers past security. You can bring food from the airport food court sometimes, and water bought in the airport also. But during a trip in Iceland we flew from another country and we could bring our water and food. That was so nice! We brought oatmeal and banana cookies, some fruits and I think something else, but I don't remember now...

Every time I fly and try to take food, they not only look through it and scan it, but they usually make me throw it away in the end. I always used to get a long speech about how I can't bring food that isn't packaged past security. After 5 times I just stopped trying. I also usually get more scrutiny in general because I'm brown though.

I’m flying to Australia from the us and I’m a gf vegan (gluten intolerance) and i have to go on 9 flights (3 there 3 back). So that will be interesting to see how the food will fair. Because my shortest flight is 5 hours, my mom isn’t letting me get the “fruit meal”. Which means I have to choose vegetarian or gluten free. I can tolerate gluten to a certain amount; it gives me migraines and makes me feel like I have the flu before it starts hurting my stomach. So I’ll alternate vegetarian and gluten free. Definitely will be bringing quick oats, dried fruits (mangoes!), chickpeas, and a crap ton of bananas. I’ve never thought of bringing potatoes on a plane, as well as sushi, but I DEFINITELY will
