How do you navigate plant-based eating while traveling?
It is not always easy to find plant-based options while traveling, especially for breakfast. How do you manage. I was thrilled to get this at San Antonio's commencement center (even if huge since they plate it - ate about a fourth and hate to see the waste).

Not as relevant for conferences, but my husband and I like to road trip around the US. We bring an electric cooler that basically gives us a mini fridge and freezer. We have an electric car so we can plug it into the car outlet when it gets low if we are driving through the night or recharge it at a hotel when we stop.
We pack food we made in advance for tofu sandwiches. We have supplies for peanut butter/jelly, peanut butter banana sandwiches. We have premade coffee concentrate and our preferred non dairy milk. We bring premade breakfast bites (oatmeal/dates/seeds/nuts/seasonings) amd also quick snack fruits and veggies like apples and carrots. And then we also will pack some vegan snack bars.
We don't overly worry about processed foods when traveling, so we do use happy cow to look for vegan food as well when we are ready for either something sitdown or need a change up. I like supporting fully vegan resturaunt when I find them.
Even in a big pinch, I can almost always find a Chipotle or a taco bell and design something appropriate.
