I'm headed to Minnesota for work next week. I've been up to Minneapolis quite a bit lately. I hope that I get some time explore more this time. Last trip I had time but MN was hit by a snow storm as soon as I arrived so I really wasn't wanting to get out in all that any more than I had to. The prior trip, I did manage to make it to the Mall of America. It was in the evening and I really didn't get much of a chance to look around. I know that they have a Kawaii store in the mall so I hope to make it there to check it out this time. I am getting myself prepared for travel by making sure I have some keto-approved snacks/treats to take with me just in case.
My favorites to travel with are: Quest Bars, Tea Bags, Mio (flavor for my water which is what I drink at the hotel), Jerky, Slim Jims, sugar-free sweetener (to add to tea, etc.) and Tuna packets. The last may sound a little strange but if I need something with more substance, the new flavored tuna packs are great. Just tear them open and eat with a fork. My favorites that I've tried thus far are Mexican, Deli Salad, and Ranch.
As far as eating out goes, I try to find places that I know I can eat dinner and stay on track. For breakfast I usually eat at the hotel and stick to eggs and bacon. For lunch, there is a great cafeteria in the building that has a lot of options -- salad bar, burgers, grilled chicken, even some green veggie sides. They also have a deli section with cheese, chicken salad, peanut butter, and such.
The area I travel to really doesn't have a lot of options close by for dinner. Last time I found a sub place called Jersey Mike's where they did a "sub in a tub" which was great. In fact, it would be really great if sub places in Wichita took the hint! Boston Market is always a safe bet too since they have meat & green veggies. I'm not limited budget-wise on dinner but I do have a hard time sitting in a restaurant by myself so I will sometimes find a place that does call in to-go or delivers to the hotel. Looking ahead and having a plan always help so I try to have some backups planned if I get in a tough situation.
