AIP Safari Review : Fast, Friendly Food for any Adventure (giveaway)

AIP Safari Review : Fast, Friendly Food for any AdventureYou don’t have to book an actual African safari vacation to enjoy this lovely ebook from Bethany Tapp! AIP Safari is filled with fast and friendly foods for any adventure, whether you are going to the neighborhood park or traveling across the globe.

Bethany has Spondyloarthritis and has been able to successfully manage her condition (without the use of medication) thanks to the Autoimmune Protocol (also referred to as AIP). She is also the blogger extraordinaire at Adventures in Partaking where she enjoys sharing her favorite recipes, often inspired by her extensive travels.

Bethany lives now in Dubai, but she grew up in East Africa. As a young girl, she often traveled across the country with her family for days, enjoying wildlife spotting along the way. Since traveling on the Autoimmune Protocol often means a great deal of preparation and planning, Bethany tapped into the skills she learned during her childhood to teach us how to safely and efficiently travel on AIP (without forgetting to have some fun along the way!).

AIP Safari Review : Fast, Friendly Food for any AdventureWhat I like the most about AIP Safari:

  • You will find a fun assortment of delicious travel-friendly recipes, from plate and fork recipes to handheld recipes and travel treats! These recipes are easy to prepare and pretty much all of them are on my favorites list!
  • Each recipe comes with a beautiful picture and storage tips to take it on the road.
  • I love the extras, including tips on how to pack food, road trip tips, air travel tips, road trip games, travel tools, and much more. The information provided is useful and entertaining at the same time. A great combination in my opinion!

Bethany gave me permission to share the recipe for the Grape and Chicken Salad with you all!

Prep time: 15 minutes | Serves: 2

Ingredients: 1/2 avocado – 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar – juice of 1 lemon – 1/2 teaspoon sea salt – 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro – 6 mint leaves, chopped – 1/4 pound chicken (about 3/4 cup cooked chicken) – 1/2 cup chopped raw baby asparagus and/or finely diced celery – 1/2 cup red grapes, cut in half – 1 scallion, chopped – 2 slices of bacon, crumbled

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, mash avocado with a fork and mix in apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and chopped herbs.
  2. Add chicken and veggies and stir well to combine.
  3. If eating today, also add grapes and crumbled bacon.
  4. If eating tomorrow or later, plan on adding grapes and bacon on the day you’ll be serving.

Notes: This salad keeps well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Pack in an airtight container and put in a cooler with an ice pack. If you won’t be eating this salad within the next 12 to 15 hours, store grapes and bacon separately.

    When I travel to visit family, I order a package of compliant foods to be delivered to the home where I am staying since my family lives in a very remote area. Then right after my plane lands, I head to a grocery store to buy fresh and frozen foods to supplement my delivery. I always buy a lot more than I need and my hosts enjoy the leftovers that I leave with them. Also, my hosts are thrilled for me to cook and they enjoy eating different foods than they usually eat.

    I have to admit, I am not the best at this. When I travel, part of the enjoyment is partaking of the local foods. But I do manage most of the time to choose the AIP compliant foods from those choices. For snacks, I pack some things I know will be good.

    I always take celery sticks and smoked salmon when I travel but it can be really hard to pack a decent picnic for a day or more. I think this is a great idea and will be using the recipes for my daughter’s lunch box as well. Thank you!

    My travels of the last couple years have all been road trips; we take the car, and I can fill it with my mini fridge, coconut milk, blanched collard leaves, etc, my blender, and my big bag of pantry items. Last year, my folks bought an RV so we could see America and eat or respective diets. It is much easier when you travel with your kitchen, but I’d love some new ideas on packing less for AIP. AIP Safari looks like food fun!

    I’ve always Loved Adventures in Partaking! I am so grateful for the resource, and all the AIP and FODMAP recipes. Truth is, I’ve been ON AIP for 9 months but have so many autoimmune disorders that I know I’ll never reintroduce most foods. I’ve been reduced to disability but will not be giving up. I would sincerely appreciate a copy of the ebook as I am acutely aware just how much I could benefit every day, not just when I must travel…..to the doctor counties away. Thank you BOTH for all your wisdom, ideas and altruism.

    Most of our trips have been to visit my husband’s family in a small town. In the past, we have brought food with us in the car, grocery shopped when we got there and recently we have started visiting the small Farmer’s market for fresh organic vegetables. We have access to a full kitchen, which definitely makes things easier.
    When I go to eat at my mother-in-law’s house, I always discuss the menu in advance and sometimes bring my own main or side-dish f there is something that I can’t eat.

    A little pre-planning goes a long way when it comes to vacations! Bring things that you’ll actually WANT to eat while on your holiday – perhaps things that are ‘treats’ (to some extent )- this is a way to ensure that you keep up your energy and eating properly and regularly. Would love to see what the AIP Safari offers in this regard!

    You have to get a bit creative while traveling. I’m going to Peru next week and my bag is full of beef jerky, a bit of dried fruits and bars… we will have to see how I will be able to tell in Spanish what I can and can’t eat. Luckily I will stay at a friend’s place for a few days during my trip, so I will have to use her kitchen for a bit.

    I just had one of the most encouraging vacations (health-wise) in a long time! My husband and I were traveling internationally and knew where we were going there’d be language barriers. I was able to print out and write out phrases and words in a few languages so we could understand each other. Not only that, but I prepared ahead of time and packed good-quality canned meat that made meals a breeze! (I am currently having to do a low-FODMAP diet as well which adds another layer of difficulty).
    We couldn’t believe how great of a trip it was! And we didn’t know canned chicken and fish could be so good 😀

    When you’re traveling somewhere the first time, be active (as much as you can be)! Use every opportunity to connect with the locals. We can’t eat the local food, but we can enjoy their culture, attractions, events, et cetera.

I know her baby sitter appreciates it– the aip food list is daunting!
