The Canasta Travel Essentials
Our list of vegan & cruelty-free picks for stress-free travel
Travelling as a vegan has some challenges but with a little bit of prep you can make the most of your trips. We’ve rounded up our list of travel essentials to help you enjoy both your journey and your destination.
Snacks
Always pack snacks. While airlines and airports are now much better at stocking vegan-friendly snacks, options may still be pretty limited. It’s also great to have a little stash to rely on throughout your trip. Here are some of our favourites, both sweet and savoury, that take up minimal space and are perfect for travel.
Hu Chocolate
We Love: Hazelnut Butter Dark Chocolate Bar & Almond Butter & Crispy Quinoa Dark Chocolate Bar
Shop now at Sainsbury’s, £3.50
Nakd Protein Bars
Rhythm 108 Hazelnut Chocolate Praline Cookie
Brave Chickpeas
Sea Salt and Sea Salt & Vinegar
Supplements
If you take regular supplements or protein shakes, you’ll want to take these with you. Between eating out a lot and falling out of your usual routine, it’s nice to have a constant to pick-up the slack on your nutrition. Of course you could pack your entire setup but here are some of our favourite, more streamlined solutions.
Innermost The Health Protein Trial Pack
This trial pack doubles up as portioned out travel sachets. It comes in a pack of 3 x 40g individually wrapped travel sachets, available in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry or a mix of all three.
Stackable Travel Dispensers (Pack of 2)
Designed primarily for baby milk powder, these stackable travel dispensers are perfect for storing portioned out protein powder.
Pill Box Organiser
This pill box is great for travel as you can pick out just the days you need for shorter trips.
Hydration
Flying is extremely dehydrating so making a concerted effort to stay hydrated throughout your flight will make a huge difference to how you feel when you land. Here’s are some of our favourites for the skin and for hydrating from within.
