Equipment You Might Need

Remember to bring a cooler, storage containers, and silverware to keep your vegan premade snacks cool and easy to enjoy! Here’s some gear that will make dining easier on your road trip:

Don’t forget to bring your cooler! Keep your drinks, hummus, sandwiches, salsa, and other vegan vehicle munchies fresh with it! To preserve your food from rotting, simply replace your cooler with ice from the motel’s ice machine every evening and morning (be sure to keep your cooler in the motel with you, rather than in the car overnight, where it will get hot).

This will be necessary if you’re packing raw vegan food on the move, such as chopped up fruits and vegetables. This foldable cooler is wonderful for saving room; if you’re going to the beach, you can fill it with food and then collapse it when you’re done. If you’re flying, it’s also ideal for putting in your luggage.
