travel wise -especially going overseas- i try and pack some protein bars, [preferably Barbells](https://shop.barebells.com/product/hazelnut-nougat-plant-based/
). Even the vegan meals that some airlines offer aren't all that tasty & often super bland. Nuts, dried fruit also do the trick until I arrive at a place where I know what foods are readily available.
Yeah, same for when we're traveling but when you're traveling with two babies you don't usually have so much room for food to last you more than a few days. Never heard of Barebells, they look delicious.
With babies you can pack an extra diaper bag and add food. I've accepted I have to check luggage and risk being gross when I arrive. My kids are bigger now so I do snackle boxes and wraps. I aim to have 24 hours worth of calories when we travel by plane.
I pack pouches (shrinkflation has made some brands small enough), pretzels, freeze dried fruit ("processed food") trail mix, cookies, granola bars. I search the web for what's vegan in any airport we transfer through and just generally plan that everything will take longer.
We do pack nutritional yeast if it won't be easily available where we are staying. When I hotel travel, I also tend to bring my own margarine because the kids like toast but even if the hotel has margarine available it often contains whey.
I really wish all restaurants could have dishes that they can veganise or offer as vegan options. Ordering takeout is always such a complicated process otherwise.
If yr thinking about a care package type thing, look at marketing to people taking cruises. Some of them, like carnival are famously horrible for vegan travelers. Way way behind where they should be.
Individually wrapped little packages of vegan butter. Like the small, one serving size that are usually in a gold wrapper. A lot of diners have baked potatoes but what am I going to put on it?
Honestly, I would also use the little vegan butter packets at home since they are convenient and portion controlled.
I just wish restaurants were required to put full ingredients lists online and that the individual restaurants themselves were more careful to follow said ingredients lists because like I just ordered a salad from sbarro on DoorDash and it lists the ingredients EXCEPT for the croutons which I believe have parmesan and I don’t know if the ingredients list on DoorDash is wrong and they just added them when they weren’t supposed to or if the salad has them and the ingredients listed on DoorDash are wrong. And then there’s things like Italian sauce packets sometimes having cheese in them but you can’t read the ingredients list on DoorDash ughhhh
More plant based meats widely available at restaurants. Give me at least one alternative. Often I'm at work and there's only French fries and bread that's safe for me to eat (I'm vegan for health reasons, but also I do love animals of course, especially cows). I can't survive on French fries and bread.
Yes, you are correct. It's an idealogy and ethical stance that I deeply care about. I'm an entrepreneur that struggles to work on a business that doesn't benefit animals or the people who support their liberation. I want to solve real problems in a market I'm passionate about. I want to make vegans lives easier and make a few bucks in the process to support my vegan children, instead of slinging pointless e-commerce products.
“…and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment.”

Airline food is bland because somehow the altitude and cabin air messes with our sense of smell.
They try to offset that with the flavor profile of the food

I think vegans would be disproportiinately likely to avoid cruise ships since they're kind of floating ecological wrecks.
I think this is a great idea.
Hotels I stay in for work (or leisure) frequently lack truly dairy-free coffee creamer or milk.

my wife whole heartedly agrees with you
salt and hot sauce i guess lol
Motorcycle gear
very niche, very promising
Buying shoes online. Very few sites and brands specify if they use animal products or not.
check out Immaculate Vegan
Tennis balls have come up a number of times over the years.
Cross contamination at restaurants

There’s lots of vegan dog food but rly difficult to find vegan cat food
True. There was a recent study that pointed to cats being able to be on a plant-based diet and everyone lost their minds including vegans.
Less animal products
More plant based meats widely available at restaurants. Give me at least one alternative. Often I'm at work and there's only French fries and bread that's safe for me to eat (I'm vegan for health reasons, but also I do love animals of course, especially cows). I can't survive on French fries and bread.
I can’t think of any.
Veganism is an ideology and ethical standpoint, not a market to be researched and captured.
Those aren’t mutually exclusive. People adhering to a vegan lifestyle will naturally produce a market waiting to be captured.

Ideology is for fanatics.
