Due to our nomadic lifestyle, we travel fulltime in our RV through Europe and Morocco, it so happens I don't see a shop or store for weeks.
So, how do I manage?
I thought I'd share.
Maybe someone is interested...
We love to be in the middle of nowhere, with nothing around us but silence, peace and tranquility.
Sometimes we do that for weeks.
Or, like in Morrroco and other African countries, there are small villages, but they don't sell what I need.
I don't eat meat and hardly ever eat fish.
That can be challenging when on the road.
My way of making this work: I plan and prep.
Most of the time we know roughly, where we are going and for how long.
I make sure I have all the protein powder with me that I need.
I know how much I use per day and just multiply that by, let's say, 180 days.
Whatever happens, I have my shakes.
When we go into the middle of nowhere, I count how many days.
Plus some extra for unexpected events.
Than I sit down and start to make my plan and write everything down.
What is in my cupboards?
What is in my fridge?
What do I want to eat for the next weeks to come?
I start writing down meals, based on the proteins I have in storage and whatever is for sale.
I do that for the amount of days I need.
Than I make my grocery list and start buying what I need.
I wash and cut up my fruit and veggies, and cook them the way I want them.
I portion it up, put it in ziplock bags and put them in the fridge or freeze them if I need them much later.
I fill my slow cooker and make a complete meal, that will be good for 3 or 4 dinners.
So, with my planning and prepping I have enough food to last me a couple of weeks.
Everything I need.
When I hear peolple say: "I can't buy a decent lunch at work", or "I was so busy, I didn't have the time to cook", I say "nonsense".
This surgery of ours is a lifelong commitment.
You can make it work or you can make it fail.
That is up to you and you alone.
You make the choice of what to put in your mouth, no one is force feeding you.
In my opinion: failing to plan, is planning to fail.
