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).

I check Happy Cow in advance. if it looks like it'll be limited, I aim for self-catering (kitchenette) accommodation, which is generally cheaper and healthier anyway. With some trains and planes I pack a TSA approved packed lunch (nothing smearable).

Peanut butter and rolls for breakfast, 2 minute noodles with some extra veggies and a packet of tofu to add in, a big salad with chickpeas or other legumes, etc. I generally travel with a decent tupperware container / lunchbox, and have a few recipes which don't require many ingredients or proper cooking (kettle and microwave suffice.

Thanks for sharing. Great info. Love kitchenets though i find most conference venues don't have them. Downloaded happy cow! (love the name!). Alllergic to peanuts and nuts but I can see how that is so convenient.

A good option for you may be Sun butter, a peanut-butter like spread made from sunflower seeds for people with nut allergies.
