Staying Healthy While Traveling
March Break is a day away for us Albertans, and I couldn’t be more excited! Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that near weeks end I’ll be counting the hours until school is back in, but the possibilities right now leave me very excited.
We don’t have huge plans for our official March break, we always stay closer to home and travel on alternate less busier times of the Spring.
For instance, last weekend we went on a little getaway to Calgary, Alberta. My daughter had a cheer competition in the city so we extended our visit and made it a little family staycation. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful!
Yet, with Spring fever in the air, we cannot lose sight that Mother Nature isn’t done with us yet. I continually have to remind myself that we could still have bad weather and cold temps right up until May {and pray it’s not later}. This means we’re still bundled up, drinking plenty of water and taking those vitamins. Staying Healthy While Traveling
While packing to go on our weekend getaway, I made we brought along the essentials for our trip. Toothbrushes, check. Clothes, check. Toiletries, check. ND Shakes, check!
Orange Naturals ND Shakes are packed full of nutrient goodness, to fill-in where diets lack and ensure optimal nutrition. Doesn’t this go so well with family trips away from home? Usually we don’t eat the best while on the road, so the added minerals and vitamins from ND shakes are the perfect topper to ensure optimal health. They contain vegan protein, greens, superfruits and a multivitamin.
The girls love their ND Shakes and I don’t foresee us traveling without them. Compact, a great delicious snack for the kids and the ideal way to pack some healthy into the suitcase. Especially since our stay was for my daughters competition, a time when she needs to ensure her health is at her best!
We also took along our Probiotics for toddlers thru teens. Probiotics are well known to aid in boosting immune systems since they inhibit the growth and activity of harmful organisms. They help to cut down the lifespan of cold and flu symptoms and restore a healthy gut flora.
So, with some travel and excitement behind us and our health intact {yay!}, our official March break will be a time to relax and take each day as it comes. That hopefully means many days of sleeping in, visits with friends and if the weather is on our side, enjoying the outdoors.
Have any travel plans for March Break or perhaps at alternate times this Spring?

There are certain times when you travel and you’re stuck without a meal, so this is a great thing to have handy!
For sure, and well, junk food seems to flow more heavily while on vacay. I know I’m more lax with it at this time. It’s a good way to ensure you are getting those vitamins and minerals!
thanks for the awesome tips
We’re hoping to travel during the summer once the baby grows a little more.
We just came back from a week in Houston so we won’t be traveling anywhere any time soon. Luckily we did OK (germ wise). Only one of my two kiddos got sick on our way back home. That, for me, is amazing!
Small miracles, Sofia! lol
We’re busy enough adjusting to life after travel!
that’s a great idea to travel with!! I need to keep that in mind. we have some road trips planned this spring/summer
They will be packed from now on, that’s for sure! Have a happy & healthy Spring & Summer Brett!
We don’t have any trip plans until the summer, but I can’t wait – we are going to the beach!
We plan on going somewhere soon. Good idea to take with on a trip.
That is important to stay healthy. All winter I was healthy.. now it is warmer outside and I am sick:(
Oh no! Make sure you take those probiotics – Orange Naturals has some great ones that we take.
I’m going to have to buy some of those shakes. Even if it’s just for day trips, this is a great way to ensure the kids get nutrition during busy days out and about.
Exactly! 😉
There have been some trips when I sure could have used a nutritious shake like that for me and the kids. What a great idea.
Us as well, so happy to know this now – very easy to pack this along!
That is such a great idea! We never eat on the road as well as we would at home, so these shakes would be awesome to help fill in the nutrition gaps.
YES!
My kids seem to get sick anytime we go on vacation. Always have! I now pack a full medical emergency basket.
Good for you, it’s definitely a live and learn experience!
We didn’t make any plans for break this year. We traveled over Christmas AND had a few major home repairs we had to do. So far, we’re surviving but it’s certainly exhausting trying to keep the kids from driving each other crazy (and us!)
Shakes on a trip is a fabulous idea! I feel like some trips we take all nutrition is thrown out the window and our eating schedule is so off. Nutritious shakes like these would be so good.
I know the feeling – so well!
Ooh, this is my first time hearing about Orange Naturals shakes… they sound perfect for keeping the kiddos healthy! I definitely need to plan a getaway soon… this winter weather has me down. Looking forward to planning something asap!
Happy to have made the introduction! 😉
This would be perfect for when traveling for work. Hoping to take a few trips before the end of the year….fingers crossed!
I know lots of people that skip lunch at work or choose the machine … ideal for them as well!
sounds nice, we will be traveling in Sept. Cannot wait!
I don’t take shakes with me when I travel but it’s tempting! Having a shake on hand is such a healthy alternative to junk food!
TRUTH!!
I need to try these. I hate getting sick when we travel
Same here Sarah, sure puts a damper on the experience!
I travel at least once a month. I would love to give this a try.
Oh yes, just traveling that much really can weaken the immune system. You need to try them!
This sounds really good like an Orange Julius! What a fantastic idea to give it to kids while traveling to make up for lost nutrition!!
Oh, it’s sooo good!!
No travel plans coming up soon but, in the near future. Kudos to staying healthy while traveling, with preparation, you can definitely do it!
Do you know if they have a dairy free version?
I’d check on the site or tweet them to hear your options Emily
I leave TOMORROW for Mexico 🙂 I love the idea of packing powdered shakes like this – perfect for a healthy snack on the go, as you said!
YAY for you!!!! Have a happy, healthy & safe trip!!
We are planning a trip to grandma’s later this week! Will have to look into picking these up for the trip!
Great idea!
I am excited for spring break. We are actually going to travel for it! Hopefully we can all stay healthy!
What a great idea for bringing these items when you travel.
