On-The-Go Food - Tips for Saving Money, Reducing Waste, Eating Better

As a homeschooling family, the kids and I are often on-the-go. We're not always perfect in how we eat while out and about, but my goal is to always provide snacks and meals that are healthy, as zero waste as possible, and budget friendly. In this video I share my five pieces of advice to help other families like ours do the same. Our road trip food recipes are here: Cowboy caviar salad: https://www.peacefuldumpling.com/recipe/healthy-snacks-vegan-cowboy-caviar Carrot Miso Butter Dip https://www.thefullhelping.com/carrot-miso-butter Containers: Tiffin https://amzn.to/2NKunY3 Stainless Steel Bento Box https://amzn.to/2NI5dJD For some background- our family lives in a rural community without traditional package free options. My philosophy is to do as much as I can to reduce our waste without sacrificing the joy of the experience we're in. With that being said, if you look around while at your local playground, beach, or park the littler you'll find will most likely be corners of single use packaging kid snacks and treats. I try to avoid individually packaged snacks. Also, Shane and I are strict with our plant-based diets, but let our kids experiment with their food options, especially when out and about. I love preparing food for my family. I know its not for everyone.
