why I chose these items.
My top 10 list:
- CANNED BEANS: They come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, and all of them are hearty sources of low-fat protein. Their soluble fiber helps normalize blood sugar levels. They also can play a key role in weight control, as they fill you up for very few calories.
- NUTS: A variety of nuts (almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, and pecans) provides Vitamin E protein, and healthy unsaturated fats. Their fat and fiber content makes them a great hunger-reducer, this is why I highly recommend nuts.
- BLUEBERRIES: These could be enjoyed fresh for a few days, then dried for a tasty treat. They promote brain health and vision. Blueberry is also one of my all-time favorites, and blueberries are a good source of Vitamin C.
- ORANGES: They are a refreshing and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth, and they provide a wealth of nutritional goodness. They're a rich source of vitamin C. I personally think that oranges are one my go to fruit on a hot sunny day!
- SMOOTHIES: I know this is a bit weird but I would definitely bring smoothies. They are nutritious, hydrating, and tasty. I would never worry about dying of dehydration, and I wouldn't worry about running out of energy since smoothies have a ton of simple sugars. Plus they have vitamins and essential nutrients. I also just love smoothies of pretty much all type, but my favorite is probably a combination of banana, mango, pineapple, raspberries, and strawberries, with an almond milk base.
- SWEET POTATOES: They are high in starch and have a bit of sugar. They are also rich in fiber and vitamins. Did you know you could also eat the the leaves and stems of the sweet potatoes as a vegetable. Sometimes when I have dinner and I have sweet potatoes on the plate, trust me! that's all I eat (and my veges)!
- PIZZA: I know this is not really what someone else would put on their list, but I would! Because Pizza is one of my favorite food of course it would be one of my top 10! I don't really have a specific favorite pizza but If I was to pick one I would go with Pepperoni it's delicious!
- PB&JS: Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich are my favorites! It's probably not one of the main things that you would like to eat on a sea trip, but perhaps it's the most comforting of comfort foods, and it's also one of the most delicious. When they are spread on a couple of slices of hearty white bread, the joy becomes complete.
- PEACHES: Yeah I know I have a weird taste! But when it come to peaches that's definitely me! But they have to be fresh and ripe, because when you bite into a fresh ripe peach you first get the sensation of that delicate fuzz, which gives way to a glorious explosion of sweet juice across your tongue, ending with a drop that slides out between your lips and drips slowly down your chin! Yeah I want some already!
- CHOCOLATE: And lastly something that surely we would take is CHOCOLATE!! In times of stress, times of sadness, times of celebration or you just need to treat yourself I would turn to chocolate to put a smile on my face!
