To us, summer means long days spent outside, water play, popsicles, and family vacations!

Feeding your family can be tricky even when you’re on home turf, so what happens when you’re on a plane, train, or automobile and you can’t pack your kitchen up along with the sunscreen and beach towels?

Liana Blackburn’s career as a dancer, choreographer, teacher, and creator of Daily Dancer Diet takes her all over the country and world, so she has healthy traveling down to a science. We talked to her to compile a list of tips and tricks for staying healthy(ish!) and happy on the road.

Plan ahead! We’ve all watched a toddler meltdown when they’re tired or hungry, but mom and dad are at risk of hanger, too! Before you leave, pack plenty of snacks for the whole family. Blackburn is a fan of whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible, but also has an arsenal of healthy, wholesome brands she believes in for packaged food on the go:

• Grandy Oats: Organic grain free granola
• Coconut Cult: Organic unsweetened coconut yogurt packed with probiotics
• Siete: Grain Free Chips and wraps
• Eating Evolved: Organic Dark Chocolate and Coconut Butter Cups
