I'm leaving on a road trip tomorrow. I'm packing a cooler to take on the road. I have made Paleo Chili and packed it in a couple small bowls. I figured most gas stations will have a microwave I can use. I've made some Paleo lemon-blueberry muffins and packed nuts, apples and almond butter for snacks.

I road trip a lot. In my cooler go boiled eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, meat sticks/pepperoni, sometimes sliced turkey or chicken, cheese, and some jerky.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

If you can bring a cooler, I've brought hard boiled eggs, cheese, etc. I also made my own fat bombs, coconut flour muffins, and beef jerky that kept a few days without refrigeration. How long are you going to be gone? Steak, eggs, and salads are ok for a few days. Sounds delicious to me!

Thanks. We're leaving tomorrow morning and coming back Sunday. I found turkey jerky, some assorted raw nuts, the hard boiled eggs are a good idea. I can live with eating steak and eggs and salad if I have to.

We ended up picking a hotel with a decent gym and indoor pool, so I won't be missing my workouts. I just need a decent substitute for sweet potatoes since I won't have access to an oven.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, but I've microwaved (or you can bake) sweet potatoes ahead of time, mixed in my butter/coconut oil and cinnamon, put in a container, and brought with me in a cooler (though, I admit for less than a day, I've left unrefrigerated). Eating cold isn't my preference, but I'll do it. Otherwise, I bring a banana.

Sweet potato mud pies! These are my all day bike ride fuel and they keep well in a sealed container.

1 baked sweet potato, flesh scooped out and mashed
1 egg
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 tbsp raw honey/agave/maple syrup
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1 tbsp coconut oil or coconut butter
pinch of sea salt

Whisk the egg. Add sweet potato and coconut oil/butter (softened) and blitz with a blender until it's smooth.
Fold through the dry ingredients. Bake at 180 C (160 fan oven) for 20-25 mins, then cut into squares.

If you want to pack more into them, add chopped nuts and/or dried fruit, I also like to put blueberries or raspberries in them. I don't use the honey either if I add berries, they're sweet enough.

All the best for the trip.

Bump to see if anyone else has any good ideas, as I'll be travelling this weekend and will need to bring some food - I'm fine with choosing something at restaurants, but I also need ideas for on the road snacks, and between game food (I"ll be at a rugby tournament all weekend).

Awesome, thanks for the recipe!! I'll be out of town next weekend, and I think I'll try this. Cheers!

For those wondering, I did try this recipe, and made a big batch all at once - like 4 sweet potatoes' worth. Since I didn't eat all of it that weekend, I cut them and froze, wrapped individually. Then I can take out one at a time. Works great!

I just made 5lbs of home made jerky. It's delicious and portable. My MIL vacuum seals if for me in 2oz packs, I just leave them in my glove box when it's the winter months. Not sure how they'll fare in the summer. Might not be a great idea to leave them.
