Sharing some easy and healthy Airbnb recipes that you can make for longer vacations or when you want to save a little money on your trip.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend and that you\u2019re doing ok. After taking some time off at the end of last week, I\u2019m easing back into the swing of things here on the blog. Writing here has always been a bright spot for me and I hope it\u2019s a bright spot for you, too. <3<\/p>\n

I\u2019s impossible to ignore the heaviness of recent events: the loss of Charlie Kirk, the tragedy of the school shooting, the woman who was killed on public transportation, and remembering 9\/11. It\u2019s been a lot. If you\u2019re feeling sadness or heaviness, please know that I see you, I feel it too, and I\u2019m sending you a big hug through the screen.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of focusing on some of the simple joys, I wanted to share something a little lighter today: easy and healthy Airbnb recipes. I\u2019ve been wanting to publish this since we got back from Spain and now we\u2019re in September. No time like the present \"\ud83d\ude09\"<\/p>\n

Easy and Healthy Airbnb Recipes for Travel<\/h2>\n

Why We Cook at Airbnbs While Traveling<\/h3>\n

When we travel, we\u2019ve learned that eating out for every single meal just doesn\u2019t work for us. It gets expensive quickly, restaurant meals can be heavy, and the kids don\u2019t exactly love sitting at a table three times a day.<\/p>\n

What works better for us: eating out for one large meal per day (usually lunch or dinner), and enjoying quick bites out, or making the rest of our meals simple and fresh at the Airbnb. Not only is it more budget-friendly, but it also feels fun to shop local markets, enjoy regional specialties, and gather for a casual family dinner. Also, the restaurants and cafes that we dine at are AWESOME; it\u2019s better to splurge on one larger, amazing meal than a bunch of mediocre places throughout the day.<\/p>\n

During our trip to Spain, some of my favorite memories were cooking alongside my friend Sam. She\u2019d make a dish or two, I\u2019d make something at the Airbnb and we\u2019d walk it over, and the kids would run around while we shared good food, good wine, and good company. That\u2019s what vacation meals should feel like! We looked forward to our family dinners, and since they live there, they didn\u2019t need to feel like they had to feed all of us or go out to restaurants multiple times each week. We shared the cooking and cleaning load, and it was awesome.<\/p>\n

Airbnb Grocery Shopping List<\/h3>\n

When we check into an Airbnb, I almost always grab these staples:<\/p>\n

Granola or cereal<\/p>\n

Yogurts<\/p>\n

Almond milk (or other milk of choice)<\/p>\n

Coffee (the instant decaf in Spain was 2 euros and tasted heavenly)<\/p>\n

Water and sparkling waters<\/p>\n

Fresh berries and seasonal fruit<\/p>\n

Eggs<\/p>\n

Bread<\/p>\n

Nutella or jam (because kids)<\/p>\n

Protein (rotisserie chicken, canned tuna or sardines, Spanish tortilla, etc.)<\/p>\n

Snacking veggies (bell peppers, cucumber, carrots)<\/p>\n

Guacamole + hummus<\/p>\n

Snack bars<\/p>\n

Supplements: I always bring my Daily Nutritional Support powder<\/a> + vitamins with me<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Easy Airbnb Breakfast Ideas<\/h3>\n

Yogurt parfaits with granola + berries<\/p>\n

Eggs and toast with fruit<\/p>\n

Protein pudding with berries<\/p>\n

Spanish tortilla (homemade or pre-made from a local market)<\/p>\n

Egg casserole (great if you\u2019re staying in one place for a week or more)<\/p>\n

Quick Airbnb Lunch & Dinner Recipes<\/h3>\n

These meals come together with minimal prep and local ingredients:<\/p>\n

Rotisserie chicken enchiladas<\/a><\/p>\n

Big salad bowls with greens, veggies, beans or tuna, olive oil, and lemon<\/p>\n

Charcuterie-style dinner with local cheeses, meats, olives, bread, and veggies<\/p>\n

Simple pasta night: pasta, olive oil, garlic (or garlic powder), seasonal veggies, and protein like shrimp or chicken<\/p>\n

Grilled protein + veggies (if the Airbnb has an outdoor grill)<\/p>\n

Chopped Greek salad (cucumbers, bell pepper, onions, olives, artichokes, sundried tomatoes, feta, herbs like mint and rosemary, chicken, and a lemon vinaigrette)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Healthy Snack & Happy Hour Ideas<\/h3>\n

We love a mid-afternoon snack break or a happy hour:<\/p>\n

Fresh fruit + cheese plate<\/p>\n

Guacamole and hummus with sliced veggies + crackers<\/p>\n

Olives + nuts<\/p>\n

Chips with salsa<\/p>\n

Wine or sparkling water mocktails<\/p>\n

Traveling doesn\u2019t have to mean blowing your budget or feeling sluggish after too many heavy meals. With a quick grocery trip and a few simple recipes, you can enjoy healthy, delicious meals right in your Airbnb.<\/p>\n

I think there\u2019s something so special about gathering around the table with family or friends, and sharing food you\u2019ve prepared together. It makes the trip that much more memorable.<\/p>\n

Tell me, friends: Do you cook when you stay at Airbnbs, or do you prefer eating out most of the time? Share your go-to vacation meal in the comments so we can all get inspired for our next trip!<\/p>\n
