Oh, I remembered another good option that you can often find in U.S. airports — swing by Starbucks and pick up a Kind bar. They have a lot of dried fruit which is more sugar than I normally do, but they also have good fiber & some protein from the nuts.

I keep one or two stashed in my bag for hunger crises.

Quinoa.

Packed with nutrients, super easy to pack in a double ziplock, cooks up like rice and keeps fresh if you backpack it for the day and can be eaten for breakfast or even mixed with greens for a power salad.

Really want to go for the kicker? Try organic AND gluten free. ..or just go raw

That’s an awesome plan. I bet Little Dude was happy about having his favs with him. What amazed me about Europe is how much easier it is there than here in many ways.

When we went to Europe for a long (6 week) trip this summer, we brought 20 boxes of Annie’s GF mac and cheese. When you have a picky six-year-old, these things make sense.

Paris & London were fairly easy, rural France less so, but the huge supermarkets have GF sections. Some of the European brands (Schaar, Revola, Bionaturae) are very good.

Agree 100% about being able to cook.
