Creating a Portable Raw Kitchen

[Crystal T]

So I am going to be traveling alot this summer between family vacations, Just the Girls trips, and also to a few state parks for events such as weddings.  Some of the places I will be going to are pretty remote with little to no convient store, restaurants, or food options so I am going to have to prepare to take and pack my own food. 

 

I am thinking of constructing a "portable" kitchen.  I just don't know exactly what I will need.  I am thinking of a few cutting boards (the thin flexible kind), a few knives, plates, utensils, napkins, etc.   However, what tools I will need are still up to be decided.  Right now I can think of:

 a mandolin or a julienne slicer

smaller spiralizer 

Sprouting Jars with seeds

A manual Juicer

 

I will have two storage totes.  One for the utensils and then either a second tote or large cooler for the food.  Most likely a cooler.  I will be bringing my own water as well.  If I get lucky for my birthday I might receive this as a gift from my husband.  It's on my list and think would be awesome for traveling.

I am just thinking aloud (and in writing) what I will need to obtain in the next few months.  I want to have my portable Raw Kitchen made by June when I start traveling.   If you have any experience with any items you think might be of use to me, please let me know so I can check them out! 

 

Thanks for reading!

I think you will do just fine, Crystal. I have seen other people who did this as well on road trips or traveling. Hopefully the family or friends you may see on the way can direct you to local Farmer's Market's as well or whole foods stores. Keep us posted!

The only idea I have is maybe try living out of them for a few days or a week right there at home.  Then you might realize anything you might be missing.
