How To Stay Trim While Traveling: Food Fest Oaxaca Style

by Lani Muelrath on April 26, 2009

There’s not much I enjoy more than being able to eat well on the road, stay healthy, stay trim, and then tell all about it!

This is our haul from the market in Oaxaca town earlier today.  Every meal has been fantastically delicious and easy to prepare!  For example today’s menu:

Breakfast: chunks of fresh grapefruit, cranberry walnut bread with nut butter and banana, fresh ground java.

Lunch: avocado/onion/tomato sandwiches with jicama slices, chunks of mango, and Corona.

Dinner: vino tinto from Chile, brown jasmine rice with black beans, tomato, cucumber, salsa verde, onion..have I left anything else out?

What I love about travel to Mexico (among other things, where do I start?) Is the bounty of fresh, whole foods that makes it so easy to eat well.  I simply do a quick soak in the Microdyne drops to debug the skins, slice and chop, and go!

Wanna come over for dinner?  ;-)

Hi Lani,
I LOVE Oaxaca. My husband and I went there on our luna de miel (honneymoon). We just moved from the States to Costa Rica and our weekly hauls from the feria (farmers’ market) looks quite a bit like yours!
Thanks for all the great meal ideas.

Hi Gloria!

I had no idea you were in Costa Rica! Are you there…for good? I love Costa Rica, too!

When were you in Oaxaca? We’re north of town in the hills above the Etla Valley; our turn off is the Benito Jaurez statue.

Thanks so much for coming in to comment today – so glad to stay connected and know that you are popping in here from CR!

Lani
