I’m leaving.
Vegas is super sad.
Lucie and I are crashing Meghan’s place for a long weekend. As you’re reading this I am somewhere between San Diego and Cleveland. And I’m eating froyo on a plane.
Despite me more recent gluttonous ways, I am still incredibly cheap… and I hate airplane food. I’ve revisited to my previous travel meal skillz for this trip.
I love mixing Greek yogurt with various flavors – cocoa powder, stevia cocoa syrup, and strawberries in this instance – and freezing it for a dual action ice pack/tasty treat on the road. If it’s frozen, it’s not a liquid – you can fly with it! Also in tow is a smoked salmon salad. Stay tuned on IG. #sorrynotsorry
I love Meg and Luce, bit let’s be honest… I’m really going to see this midget gorilla:
Read on for my whole day of eats, and link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby over at Arman’s today!
Breakfast:
The usual morning cocktail followed by my tasty new gummies.
For breakfast we had Coco-cado Waffles… strange but good! In fact, it was declared the best one yet by my sister. It was a blueberry Van’s waffle with cocoa-avocado pudding, strawberries, and hemp hearts.
Snack:
A little recipe experiment… any guesses?
Lunch:
Post workout… it’s more a snack than lunch… but it was hot and it’s what I wanted. Chocolate rice protein, CocoCardio, spinach, cinnamon, sweet potato (it makes it creamy – trust me), ice, and water. Topped with granola and chia seeds.
Dinner:
I love to cook, but I also love when we split cooking duties. This was a particularly good dinner… followed by chocolates and more wine. 😉

Vegas is confident I’m going to come back wanting a baby. Notsomuch.
Do you travel with food?
What’s your favorite avocado toast?
Have fun with Meg and Lucie! Give Ave a cuddle from me! 🙂
Oh I always travel with food. It’s like the first thing I pack/plan. On our massive journey from scotland to Australia most of my carry on was food…. But I was not expecting the food on Etihad to be so good! Ha! But I always need snacks with me, especially dark chocolate… How could you travel without it?!
I’m always impressed by the international airlines’ food. Delta doesn’t cut it at ALL. Luftansa has some good stuff too.
I travelled with yogurt like this once and it exploded all over my bag. Never again!
Ohhhh… did you open it first? I open it, mix in cocoa or whatever, then put the lid back on and wrap it in foil.
That lunch looks out of this world delicious! I never thought to put sweet potato in smoothies. Great idea!
You have to try it! Makes the smoothie super creamy and it doesn’t taste funky or anything.
annnnd NOW I WANT THIS TO BE THE TITLE OF YER MEMOIR:
Eating FroYo on a Plane.
have so so so much fun <3
Now I have that getting drunk on a plane song in my head. Ha!
Man all of your eats look delish!! Your snack is very intriguing, I see cucumbers I believe and maybe a chipolte pepper seasoning? Not sure but curious. =)
Annnnnd… jicama! I’ll be posting the recipe Friday. 🙂
I bring food with me everywhere and especially on a plane.
Is that tofu and cucumber?
Have SOOOO much fun!!
Ohhhh… tofu would have been a good idea too! It’s jicama though – posting the recipe Friday!
Haha I ALWAYS travel with food! I hate paying $7 for a bag of almonds, so I always bring some nuts and protein bars with me! I love the idea of freezing yogurt! (I’ve also taken a Jimmy John’s sandwich with me… they let me bring it through security!)
Totally! You can bring anything you want to eat, as long as it’s not liquid. I once traveled with 21 meals… the TSA guy just laughed at me. 😉
JICAMA. NOW. I just got a large one last night and I can’t wait to demolish it. I see what is either cayenne or chili powder and cucumber, so I don’t care, it is going to be good.
It’s Tajin! Shhhh… posting it Friday.
Dude, you flew with smoked salmon? 🙂
That was kind of a dick move, wasn’t it? I waited to eat it during a layover!
Have fun in Cleveland! I’m always too nervous to travel with food thinking they might take it, but I read about so many people bring full meals easily through security. Maybe I’ll give it a try soon, I would love to not have to eat airport food!
You really can bring any food you like! You just can’t have liquid over 3 oz.
I always say I’m going to travel with food, then I end up standing in a 5 mile long line at starbucks anyway. I can never get out of a day of travel without throwing away $25 on food and snacks and magazines from the gift shot.
Favorite avocado toast? I’d go with a little red pepper flakes, sea salt, feta cheese and a teensy drizzle of evoo. It’s so good!
Or how about the $15 wifi on the plane that barely works? Travel is never cheap! 😛
Next time I fly I am totally bringing in frozen greek yogurt, that’s a great idea!!
Woah seriously? You can fly with it if it’s frozen. Does that go for peanut butter too? 😀
Yup! You can even make it with a bottle of water as long as it’s frozen!
I definitely travel with food. I’ve been known to pack my entire lunch on the plane 🙂
Have so much fun with Meg and Lucie! And the little vanilla gorilla, of course.
Yogurt and cocoa anything is my jam! Have an awesome fun weekend!
As always, I love your food creativity! I’m so into hemp seeds again; I have been sprinkling them on everything. What a great idea to put them on waffles! 🙂
Thank you! We go through phases with them for some reason. They’re such a great add on anything!
Look at you! Fro-yo on a plane?!?! I love fro-yo and I make a similar concoction here at home, but I never thought about being able to take it on a plane! I don’t fly often, but I definitely pack my own stuff. Usually bars or something like that though.
Totally! It’s really great for longer flights because it thaws about half way through, and it acts as an ice pack for other food items.
I figure one of two things will happen: you’ll either go home wanting a baby or the next couple days will be the best birth control ever. 🙂
Errrrrrr… you didn’t mention the part where VEGAS wants a baby even more. 😉
Have a great trip!! If you get baby fever, you can always visit me and my two month old – also in Cleveland! What a small world.
I love traditional avocado toast from a few places near me – Helio Terra is a vegan joint with some good, affordable toast. But Restore has this avocado toast with smoked salmon, yum!
I didn’t realize you were there until I was half way through the trip! What a small world. You guys have some tasty food and drinks up there… I shall return!!!
I’m guessing jicima which is my all time favorite vegetable.
Right!!! Posting the recipe Friday. 🙂
I’m beyond jealous. In the best possible way. Food wine and baby. But I still don’t want a baby yet. I’m with ya bro
I have a food a wine baby sometimes… HA!
Ok, so what’s the baby situation? Do you want one? I want Ave, but she’s taken. So I want none.
LOL! You looked mighty comfortable with her… 😉
