Strategies for Enjoying Nut-Free Summer Travel

Traveling during summer can be both exciting and a bit stressful, especially for us and our customers who manage nut allergies. Finding ways to enjoy summer trips without the worry of allergens is important. In this article, we share our strategies for making the most of nut-free summer travels, ensuring a fun and safe experience.

Planning Ahead

Before setting out on any trip, it's crucial to do some homework. We suggest looking into the allergy policies of airlines and checking whether the hotel can accommodate nut-free needs. Checking in advance means less stress upon arrival. For more guidance, check out our guide on allergy-safe snacks for kids which includes tips on communicating allergy needs while traveling.

Packing Essentials

When packing, don't forget to include any necessary medications and allergy cards that clearly state your food allergies. Also, pack plenty of nut-free snacks to have on hand. We recommend our Lemon Creme - 12 Bar Pack, perfect for a quick and safe snack on the go.

Choosing the Right Snacks

Selecting the right snacks can be tricky, but it's a crucial part of travelling with allergies. Always read the labels carefully to ensure they're truly nut-free. Some of our favorites include our Variety Pack which offers Chocolate Chip, Lemon Crème, Blueberry & Vanilla, and Caramel Mocha flavors–all guaranteed nut-free.

Dining Out Safely

When dining out, it’s important to find restaurants that are accommodating to those with nut allergies. Use your allergy cards and don't hesitate to ask questions about menu items and food preparation methods. For help on the go, turn to smartphone apps that list allergy-friendly eateries.

Emergency Preparedness

No matter how much we prepare, accidents can happen. Always carry an epinephrine auto-injector if prescribed, and consider wearing a medical ID bracelet to ensure quick and effective communication in an emergency. Visit our blog for a guide for parents on nurturing with nut-free diets which includes emergency preparedness advice.

Conclusion

From planning and packing to choosing snacks and dining out, these strategies are key to enjoying a stress-free nut-free summer vacation. Remember, preparation is the key to making your travels as smooth as possible. If you have any tips or success stories about traveling with nut allergies, we encourage you to share them with us.
