Share some simple and healthy Airbnb recipes that you can make for longer holidays or while saving some money on the go.
Hi, friends! Hope you have a nice weekend and it’s OK. I spent some time last weekend and I will be back on the blog stuff. Writing here has always been a highlight for me, and I hope this is also a highlight for you. <3
I can’t ignore the heavy feeling of recent events: the loss of Charlie Kirk, the tragedy of the school shooting, the women killed in public transportation, and remembering 9/11. a lot of. If you feel sad or heavy, please know that I see you, and I feel it, I will send you a big hug on the screen.
In the spirit of focusing on some simple joy, I want to share something simple: simple and healthy Airbnb recipes. I’ve been wanting to release this book since we’ve returned from Spain and now we’re in September. There is no time like now 😉
Easy and healthy Airbnb travel recipes
Why we cook at Airbnbs while traveling
When we traveled, we already learned that every meal didn’t work for us. It gets expensive quickly, dining in restaurants can be heavy, and kids don’t quite like sitting at the table three times a day.
Things to do for us: Have a big meal every day (usually lunch or dinner), enjoy a quick bite, or a simple and fresh meal in Airbnb. Not only is it more budget-friendly, it is also fun to shop at the local market, enjoy regional specialties and gather for casual family dinners. In addition, the restaurants and cafes we dined were great. It’s better to squander a bigger meal than a bunch of mediocre places throughout the day.
Some of my favorite memories of our trip to Spain were cooking with my friend Sam. She can make a dish or two, I will do something at Airbnb, we will walk over and the kids will run around with us sharing delicious food, quality wine and good company. This is what a vacation meal should feel! We are looking forward to our family dinners, and since they live there, they don’t need to feel like they have to feed us all or go to restaurants multiple times a week. We shared the cooking and cleaning loads, which was amazing.
Airbnb grocery shopping list
When we checked in Airbnb, I almost always grabbed these staples:
Granola or cereal
yogurt
Almond milk (or other milk of choice)
Coffee (Instant hair loss in Spain is 2 euros, tasted paradise)
Water and soda
Fresh berries and seasonal fruits
egg
bread
Peanut butter or jam (because of the kids)
Protein (BBQ Chicken, Canned Tuna or Sardines, Spanish Tortillas, etc.)
Snacks and vegetables (bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots)
Avocado sauce + hummus
Snack bar
Supplement: I always bring my nutritional support powder + vitamins with me
Relaxed Airbnb breakfast ideas
Yogurt parfait with granola + berries
Eggs and fruit toast
Protein Pudding and Berries
Spanish tortillas (homemade or pre-made from local markets)
Egg casserole (if you stayed in one place for a week or more)
Quick Airbnb lunch and dinner recipes
These meals appear with minimal preparation and local ingredients:
Barbecue restaurant chicken enchilada filling
Large salad bowl with greens, vegetables, beans or tuna, olive oil and lemon
Dinner with local cheese, meat, olives, bread and vegetables
Simple pasta night: pasta, olive oil, garlic (or garlic powder), seasonal vegetables, and proteins like shrimp or chicken
Roasted protein + vegetables (if Airbnb has an outdoor grill)
Chopped Greek salad (cucumber, pepper, onion, olives, artichokes, light tomatoes, feta, mint and rosemary, chicken and lemon vinegar)
Healthy snacks and happy hour ideas
We love snack breaks or happy hours in the afternoon:
Fresh fruit + cheese plate
Avocado sauce and hummus, sliced ​​vegetables + cookies
Olives + Nuts
Use salsa fries
Wine or sparkling water sample
Traveling doesn’t have to mean blowing your budget or feeling sluggish after a heavy meal. With a quick grocery trip and some easy recipes, you can enjoy healthy, delicious meals in Airbnb.
I think it’s a bit special to party at the table with family or friends and share the food you’ve prepared. This made the trip even more memorable.
Tell me, friend: When you live in Airbnbs, are you cooking, or do you like to eat out most of the time? Share your preferred holiday meal in the comments so that we can all be inspired for our next trip!
