What are your favorite portable meals?
Sandwiches are one example of an easy and portable meal component, because they’re not too messy, and they don’t need to stay cold. But one can only eat so many plain-jane peanut butter sandwiches before it gets old. (Oh forget that; I could eat pb sandwiches every day for the next hundred years and not get sick of them.) One day last week, for the sake of variety—and because experimentation is so much fun—I strayed from the pb-sandwich road, with this:
Carrot Cake Sandwich
- Shredded carrot
- Raisins
- Crushed walnuts
- Cinnamon
- Cream cheese, such as Tofutti OR coconut butter or Cheesecake Mousse
- sweetener of choice, if desired
Close it all up in a whole wheat pita and you’re good to go.
Keri,
Thanks! I didn’t even think of that!
And lol if you ever go to Cici’s, you’ll understand why I don’t feel weird bringing my own food. Pretty much anything goes in that restaurant. Kids running around, there’s an arcade, no waiters (so no one wondering why you’re not eating off the menu, etc). It’s definitely not gourmet hehe.
vegangal,
you seriously are the SWEETEST! 🙂
I cheat; I just make oatmeal in a to go container and take a preflavored greek yogurt 😀
I definitely think it’s better to be prepared, and so I always have snacks on hand. Fruit, nuts, bars, what have you. I have an entire grocery store in my purse :).
Oh man girl, that sandwich looks AWESOME!!! YUM!
Cici’s…not a fan. now, I love pizza. But Cici’s…not so much.
I’m all about a PB and J sammie! I could eat them every single day!!!!
That sandwich is such a great idea and looks so yummy!
My go to food to bring with me is fresh cut veggies. I have recently discovered Kind bars. and I keep one in my purse just incase.
Carrot cake sandwich?! Yum!!
My favorite on-the-go food is a sammie with almond butter and fresh strawberries or PB with sliced bananas…I could eat one at every meal, lol!! 🙂
I could eat PB sandwiches everyday too! But that carrot cake sandwich looks damn good.
I’m with you! My main on the go, no refrigeration available meal is usually PB&J, carrots and an apple!
If there’s refrigeration/microwave, it will be soup or yogurt instead of a sandwich!
Dang! I can’t wait to try this sucker out!
I always have an apple rolling around in my purse – just in case I get hangry with no food around. 😉
Is it just me, or are there a lot of Katies in the blogworld? Well I just found your site and am so happy I did! So hello from yet another reader named Katie!
Lara Bars & Raw Revolution Bars are my usual stash in the tote bag if I’m on the go. But a green smoothie in a travel mug is a big favorite for me too.
LOL and the person right after me is a Kate! Go figure!
Ok, when I saw this string of Katies/Kates, I just had to comment on my own post, to make it 5 in a row ;). Sheesh, I’d been under the impression that “Jessica” was the most popular name in the blogworld… but now I might have to change my opinion. Hello all you other wonderful people with the best name 😉 ;)!
(plus a sixth right above Yasmin! And two more further up… Katies take over the world!)
