3 quick, easy and
healthy meals to cook
whilst on the road
When I pack for a road trip there’s one thing I
don’t travel without, my portable cooking stove.
Life on the road can be more expensive than
you think, with small costs adding up to large
sums. One of the ways I like to cut down on my
costs is by cooking almost all of my meals on
my little gas cooking stove. It’s not only cost
effective but also offers you the opportunity to
have complete control over what goes into your
body, making you less susceptible to getting
sick (nothing worse on a roady, trust me).
So here are three of my favourite meals to
prepare while on the road, they’re quick, easy
and most importantly, healthy.
coconut pancakes
ingredients
1 cup of tapioca flour
1/4 cup of coconut flour
1 tin of coconut milk
6 eggs
1/3 cup of olive oil (not butter, it burns)
1 tablespoon of salt
Simply mix all ingredients in a bowl to form a batter
and cook over a medium heated pan. Now you’re
thinking pancakes can’t be too healthy, but these
ones are completely gluten free and have absolutely
no added sugar. I generally top them with maple
syrup and smashed macadamia nuts.
Note - If you’re not a sweet tooth like me, these
pancakes can be filled with shredded chicken, ham
and or bacon to offer a tasty and savoury alternative.

falafel wraps
ingredients
6 falafel rissoles
2 tablespoons of tabouleh
hummus
sweet chilli sauce
2 wraps
zoodles
ingredients
1 punnet of zoodles
8 cherry tomatoes
2 rashes of bacon chopped into cubes
1 spoon of goat’s cheese
1 spoon of parmesan cheese
Heat the falafel rissoles in a pan on medium heat
for 4-5 minutes. Place all ingredients into a wrap
and roll closed. Place closed wrap in the frying pan
to toast for 3 minutes on each side.
The falafel wrap is one of my favourite meals
to cook, all ingredients can be found in any
supermarket. It’s also completely vegetarian.
Note - If you have the time and space on your
hands, buy the falafel mix and make it by hand for a
more authentic taste.

Cook the bacon until it begins to brown in a frying
pan, add in cherry tomatoes and zoodles. Cook
for another 5 minutes, then move all contents
into a bowl, topping with fresh goat’s cheese and
parmesan cheese. A great alternative to regular
spaghetti as there are no carbs, it’s light and can be
made vegetarian friendly.
Note - You may be thinking ‘where the hell do I get
zoodles from’? Don’t stress, they can be found in
almost every supermarket.
