VanLife what i eat in a week (NO fridge + easy + realistic)

In today’s video, I show you what I typically eat in about a week of meals on the road. I do it all without a fridge using a one-burner butane stove! And if you watch to the end, there’s an amazing spatula tip from Coralie @Jump With No Fear (link: • What grey water?? How ... )

[@lindadonaldson1385]

To keep food cold in a little cooler I use an empty hard plastic almond milk jug, leaving space about 2 inches from the top of the bottle so it can expand. It will keep your food cold for several days and when it does thaw completely you can use the water for your coffee.

[@LadyBugout]

Great hack. Love it! Might have to try that😛

How do you freeze the jug in the first place, pls? Thank you for this tip!

I like to slow roast squash, beets, carrots and parsnips on fire over coals. A metal kabob skewer makes them easier to move around. Try apples or peaches too. The veggies are especially good cooled and put on green salad.

[@woody3307]

Your analysis on fridgelessness is brilliant! I have hoped for years for a nomad youtuber to make the exact point you did here. Refrigeration is not necessary for a lot of whole plant foods which can keep very well without risk of food poison. Sweet potatoes are 66% of the diet of Okinawan centenarians and last for months in warm storage areas. And rice and beans, nuts, oats etc. keep practically forever. My hotel on wheels is a Prius which has plenty of electricity when desired, but why waste precious space on a fridge when your practical advice works best of all without it and cuts down on total weight of rig. For years I only cooked what is needed in my small Instant Pot for one meal at a time. For the more perishable fruits one must buy these when in town every few days or so OR use dried or canned to stretch a few more days. I was overwhelmed with admiration to find a minimalist like you that is so steeped in Zen and the joy of living! Thanks, you made my day and give me hope!!! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@LadyBugout]

I am so glad you found it to be helpful information and that you have experience with it too. It’s funny how accustomed we get to modern conveniences when for years this was just the norm of how people lived😜

I just bought that pan a week ago. I love it Its carbon steel and lightly cast, which is better for conserving fuel. Heats up fast, cools fast. You are right. Its got a flat bottom just large enough to make 6 or 7 inch tortillas but its high sided, essentially a mini wok. Its fabulous for stir frying! Can cook a grilled cheese in it too. Low flame for eggs. I enjoy your videos so much. You are a master of small spaces. I may reconfigure my TC with the cross bench bed. I have a gaucho style bunk the long way but its cramped sitting. I was doing a lot of carpentry at the time and wanted space for long boards, but I think its time for a shape shift! Safe travels Lady Bug. Best. Charles.

Great video, Dee! I love van life! One can eat as good and healthy living in a van. I do have a small 20 liter fridge and a 50 quart cooler which serve as a seat and a bedside table respectively. I prefer to cook outside after setting up a shelter above the sliding door. My favorite salads come from Trader Joe's. I cook mostly oriental meals with bok choi, sprouts, sea food or chicken and add siracha and/or chili paste for a kicker. I love to experiment, too, and have made some surprisingly delicious 😋 meals. Van life doesn't have to be boring 😴 like some house dwellers think it would be. I love your zeal and your wonderful attitude.

As a lifetime backpacker, I too am used to living well without refrigeration; that said, I find that living in my SUV with my cat, a small fridge is necessary. I power it with the smallest Jackery (167W) and charge it while driving or with a small, portable, solar panel (60W). So far, so good. I really like being able to store leftovers, have fresh produce and cold drinks.

My tea is cold brew, no 8 hrs necessary either. Salmon, tuna (wildcaught) & mayo packets are great also. Again no refrigeration needed.

It’s so much easier when you’re just doing it for one person: yourself! 😉 LOL I too have digestive issues from a chronic disease but have mostly stabilized it with an organic (as much as possible), whole foods, mainly plant-based diet. I eat well but obviously far too much compared to you! I think I’d be constantly hungry without my oatmeal/berries/walnuts/hemp/chia breakfast, bean and whole grain/veggie lunch, and big supper like a tofu/veggie/rice or quinoa stir fry. Yikes! I know this post is about a no refrigeration meal plan but your meagre meals stand out! How do you do it?! Thanks!

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, I agree it is much easier with just one person. I actually feel like I eat a lot 😝. The greens and veggies are filling. And rice, quinoa, and beans. There are other things that didn’t make the final editing cut because it was getting too long. I was concentrating on the meals part for sure, but if I’m hungry I’ll snack on a protein bar or nuts or crackers (I like oatmeal also) as it gets colder my diet changes as well. 😂 Hope it didn’t look too meager. I’ll have to do a follow up to set the record straight😛

@@LadyBugout Thanks for the reply. Yes, I’m from Ontario, Canada and it’s cold already with winter just around the corner. ❄️ Still, I see that I’m eating too much even if it is good food; you are an inspiration to make some changes. 😊

Fabulous. Great healthy food. Looks delicious!

[@LadyBugout]

It is delicious too🤗

thanks for mentioning where you're at 🐞💙

Thank you for creating this video. I use to eat like this but I ended up with some nutritional deficiencies so now I eat like this, with the addition of more protein and supplements. Premier protein is life. LOL. It's good to see I don't have to have a fridge to keep my veggies from wilting. I have one now in my SUV but it takes up so much room that I'm researching how people do it without a fridge. I would love more space for my art and craft supplies. Thanks again!

[@LadyBugout]

Yes. I add more protein when I can for sure. I am planning to do a whole video on the food storage without a fridge-a little more detailed and with some new things that help keep food fresh. I think you’ll like it-Probably end of this month or early next!!!

[@mstimpson03301]

Loved this. I also have a ton of food allergies & sensitivities: egg whites, soy, grains, some cheeses, dairy, nightshade, spinach, sugar, hfcs, corn, kiwi, white potatoes, papaya, etc etc etc. I also love Ordain products, Paleo Valley bars, raw nuts, raw carrots & celery with almond or cashew butters or Avocado. I traveled this past summer with a cooler full of such foods & ate most of my meals out of that cooler with little or no ice & no cooking source.

[@LadyBugout]

That is amazing! Yes, it is interesting how much is available to eat that does not require refrigeration. I think we just get used to thinking about food a certain way and forget that refrigeration is a fairly recent thing😛 For centuries, people knew how to keep food without it☺️

[@briantate8619]

Your videos are Awesome!!! I greatly enjoy your very simple way of explaining everything and sharing about your van life and experiences! I always smile and laugh at the funny things you say and do as well😀 Praise God... God Bless You!

[@LadyBugout]

Glad you enjoy the channel! Thank you for the encouragement 😊

[@beeARTcanada]

You eat few meals and very little food, but it’s super healthy. Am down to two meals a day myself, and I feel so much better. It’s way healthier. I like your simple pretty set up. Thank you for sharing, and letting us into your life.

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, I have found nutritional meals give you what you need. I think we tend to eat way more than we need when we are not eating well😝

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Healthy and delicious!!! I always love seeing your yummy food!!!!! 🤤🤤

[@LadyBugout]

Likewise! WWUD eat healthy delicious food and Brie-😝

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it♥️🐞♥️

I only carry frozen water bottles from home in my ice chest. I love my cold drinks. I never put ice in (when I can avoid it), it makes a mess of the other groceries. Those chicken sausages look good - precooked. I carry some pouches of tuna and chicken breast. I could live on peanut butter and jelly and be pretty happy, except I forget the jelly!

[@LadyBugout]

Hi Linda! That’s a great idea. When I really want ice, I just fill up a little thermos I have when I fill up my gas tank. It’ll satisfy my need for a cold drink for a little bit. I have gotten used to not having it so I just look at is as a treat when I do have it😛

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again DEE Good to see you as always. I had been wondering how you managed the eating and food storage part so thx for this interesting vid. Basically I eat the same way as you much for the same reason of simplicity. However good to see you do change it up with the salmon sausage and protein drink. I also use some canned and others as I have no food allergies. Enjoy your combinations! Thx as always for sharing. Really enjoy going on walks with you in all the beautiful locations you always seem to find! Stay safe and keep on enjoying each day. After living where you were for such a long time you became a pro! Catcha next time...

[@LadyBugout]

Hi C C! I’m so glad you found It helpful. I learned a lot through living very simply for so long. I feel a lot of joy being able to bring back that simplicity to my life in this way. I can’t even explain it… but I imagine you understand♥️🐞♥️

[@MatriarchWellness]

You sweet precious sister 💗. Love your videos. I am looking forward to plunging into this lifestyle. I lived in Kenya with the Samburu in the bush and when you mentioned your time in Bolivia it definitely made a connection for me. Learned a great deal from my brothers and sisters there that will be a great resource on the road. God's speed and angels wings protect and keep you. Blessings 🐞

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Jocelyn. I’m glad you enjoy and relate to it.

Hi, I am Carolina from Argentina. I really like your videos and the way you simplify van life. I am looking forward to build my mini van and I will apply most of your advices. Thank you❤

You are welcome, Nancy!

Good ideas, will be nomading come early fall. No electric, fridge.... has to be very basic due to funds, will miss cold drinking water. Don't want electric, worry about EMF's in small area. Thanks for tips. 🙂

[@LadyBugout]

Glad you find the tips useful. One of the reasons I use that metal water container is to keep water cool. You’d be surprised how much the little evaporative effect it has cools the temp of the water. I got it a IKEA (the one that sits under my electric water faucet on the cabinet)…
