Super Salad Sprinkles are my secret weapon when it comes to eating healthy when I travel.

It turns out that this spring is turning into a busy travel time.  Within the last two weeks, I’ve been to a rejuvenating overnight spiritual retreat and an inspiring business workshop. Next week, I’m heading to Toronto to see family for the holidays, and then in May I’m off to a Holistic Health Coach training. I love going to new places, seeing friends and family, and learning cool stuff. However, eating healthy can be a bit more of a challenge when I’m not in my own kitchen.

If you follow my blog, you might know I have a zany habit of taking my Vitamix with me so that I can have my green smoothies on the road. You can read about that here. But the other thing that I don’t leave home without are my Super Salad Sprinkles.

Super Salad Sprinkles turn any simple salad into a filling and nutritious meal. So for example, one of the lunches at the business workshop was mostly meat and wheat (really, how can you expect folks to stay awake for the afternoon session with food like that!). Since I don’t eat meat or wheat, I helped myself to a large simple salad and topped it with my own Super Salad Sprinkles. It was delicious and energizing!

This recipe is easy and flexible. Omit what you don’t like and add other favorites. I put about 1/4 cup of each ingredient. But as always, adjust it to your liking.
