Traveling when you have celiac disease can be hard because you may not find gluten free options in many places where you need to eat. This product from Altiplano, Instant Hot Quinoa Cereal, is a great thing to have on hand for travel. It comes in individual serving packs which you can easily carry with you. When you are at a hotel and want breakfast you quickly notice there is not much choice of gluten free foods at the breakfast bar. You can have fruit, of course, but if you want some cereal you can pull out your packet of instant cereal, pour it in a bowl, add hot water and you have a good gluten free meal. Quinoa is high in fiber and protein. You can add milk, banana and/or walnuts, which are all usually available.
The cereal comes in a variety of flavors and you can buy a variety pack so that you can try all of them and see which one you like best. I like the Spiced Apple Raisin and the Oaxacan Chocolate flavors. You can purchase at the AltiPlano Gold website or at Amazon.
Cool, I wish I’d thought to pick up some of this before our month long trip overseas…. Ah well, next time.
