How do I get prepared for a two-day flight as a vegan diabetic? ๐Ÿ›ซ๐Ÿ’‰๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช

After spending 6 months in Mexico, it's time to go back to Hungary and finally see my lovely family again ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜

I haven't been active on Steemit in the last 2 months because I've been travelling all over Mexico nonstop, but here is my participation in my favourite Vegan Steemit contest again, held by @lenasveganliving. ๐Ÿค—

So after spending 6 months in Mexico, I'm finally going home to Hungary to spend some time with my family again. I'm.so excited to see them ๐Ÿ˜ƒ But my trip itself is gonna be exhausting... I'll be travelling for 2 days with lots of stopovers and layovers... So as being on a Low-Fat, Plant-Based, Whole Food Diet, I need to make sure to have enough food with me for the entire trip, coz I can't eat the food served on the airplane, and I usually can't find anything at the airports either.

So I prepared some quinoa with tomato-mushroom salsa and raw zucchini for lunch and dinner,

and I have lots of bananas and apples with me to have enough for breakfasts and have some in case of hypoglycemia, too.

I also stocked up on some healthy snacks, such as raw jรญcama,

as well as chili&lime flavoured, dehydrated corn and banana chips, because I'm definitely gonna crave for some snacks when I'll see everyone eating chips and chocolate on the plane...

My carry-on is extremely heavy, filled only with food, but at least I'm all set for the two-day trip ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I have celiac disease and have to do the same food prep when I travel.
The good thing is I eat my favourite healthy foods and arrive to destination less tired. :)

That's so true! I was thinking about the same today while travelling... I used to eat lots of junkfood while travelling, because even just like seeing others eating chips and other unhealthy snacks make you crave foe them, and since I'm vegan dianetic, at least I never eat uhealthy food anymore. That's so cool!!! I love this lifestyle :)

Me too! And it makes me feel sorry for the others :)))

I am so happy to see you my Dear and thank you for sharing this delicious and nutritious meal you are making. I cannot even imagine being on the plane that long. If I would go to Slovakia form Canada, it would take ten hours, which is already very long. But if I do, I will definitely have to prepare some food to go as well. So thank you for your tips. I will keep them in mind for a future.

I am also so curious about your adventures in Mexico. I hope you will be shraing them with us soon.

Thank you so much Lena!! Yes, it's extremely long... my long haul flight between Mexico City and Madrid takes is 11 hours, but I have other stopovers, too, and have long layovers, that's why it takes 2 days. But finally I'll be home within a few hours ๐Ÿ˜„

Have a safe trip back home. Loved this post, got my attention when Lena shared it and I saw the word diabetic.

Thank you so much for your kind words @coquiunlimited ๐Ÿค— Finally I'm almost at home... just a few more hours ๐Ÿ˜Š

What is jรญcama? Looks interesting!
Have a safe trip home! ๐Ÿ˜Š

It is a very delicious root vegetable, grown in Latin-America. It's my favouritr in Mexico :)

Mmm, I'll have to try it! Thanks for your answer.

Good to see you pop in on here! Have a safe trip!

Thank you so much my Dear!!๐Ÿค— yes, finally I'm back ๐Ÿ˜„

I look forward to reading about your adventures. :)

Hello friend I really miss you, I wish you a happy trip, you knew that if you wrap the tip to the banana trees with plastic they last more days, but not to each one but as they are wrapped in the tip that unites them all with

Thank you so much my Dear, I always appreciate your kind words ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—
