Does anyone know of any healthy vegan food that travels well?

Question

I am a flight attendant and am away from the kitchen for six days at a time. I need an idea of what I can prepare ahead of time that is well balanced and does well in a cooler. I am vegan (no meat, dairy, eggs, or honey) and have a hard time finding things at restaurants.

Answer 1

I am not a vegan, but I often take taboulleh, wheat-parsley salad, to pot-luck, both because usually no one else brings taboulleh and it travel relatively well. It is a salad and should be kept cool, but is ancient, Mediterranean dish, not apt to spoil.
If you can not find a recipe, email me and I will give you my recipe with suggestions for slight modifications.

Answer 2

Noodle dishes, pasta dishes, tofu dishes, veggie dishes - these things will last, but not for long.

For vegan foods that won't perish, you are looking at dry mixes for noodles and pasta that can be made with boiling water.

Canned chillies are a good bet. As are canned chick peas, kidney beans, etc.

Soups are good - lentil, tomato, minestrone, etc.

Bring lots of snacks like nuts, dried fruits, snap peas, etc.

Yves veggie products aren't TOO bad. You can make up some sandwiches with their deli mock-meat.

Amy's has many vegan options in their frozen food line.

All the best to you!

Answer 3

I think a pasta salad--with balsamic vinagrette, olive oil, basil, tomatoes would travel well. Throw in some tofu for extra protein.
Couscous should also travel relatively well. Keep a bag of mixed nuts with you to snack on for more protein and to keep hunger at bay.

Answer 4

Sandwiches ("egg" salad, fake meat sandwiches...); trail mixes, soy yogurts, pasta, rice, peanutbutter....

Answer 5

Just a suggestion but, How about another vegan..?
