Scroll down to see what 10 wellness pros eat for breakfast when they travel to stay energized and healthy.
1. Oatmeal
"An organic juice with lemon, ginger, turmeric and greens. Plus, oatmeal with olive oil salt and pepper." —Fred Devito, EVP of Mind Body Classes and Training at Exhale Spa
2. Buckwheat pancakes
"Good coffee with pastured eggs and organic spinach or a really good organic buckwheat pancake with one hundred percent pure maple syrup!" —Sakara co-founders Whitney Tingle and Danielle Duboise
3. Chia pudding
"This is always a big problem as I'm not a breakfast girl. Good would be chia [pudding] and a green juice—I bring my own green powders with me." —Rose-Marie Swift, founder of RMS Beauty
4. Banana and nut butter
"Since I sadly cannot tolerate eggs, it makes things a bit more complicated for me. I like to pack a banana with a squeezable Justin's nut butter, some mixed nuts or gluten-free granola to munch on. If all else fails and I can't find anything, I'll eat a Lara Bar to tide me over since it's free of gluten, dairy, soy, and added sugar. You can find it at most airports." —Jules Hunt, creator of Om & The City
5. Superfood bowl
"Eggs and avocado and greens, plus kimchi and rice would be my ideal travel breakfast. Depending on where I am, it's not always possible to get all of these components. But I make sure to have a fat, carb, and a protein every morning to sustain me and balance my hormones, and adrenals and cortisol for the day." —Jessa Blades, natural beauty expert
6. Avocado toast
"When traveling, I try to eat what the locals eat. I may choose huevos rancheros in Santa Fe or avocado toast in Los Angeles." —Barbara Close, founder of Naturopathica
7. Green juice
"A green juice is all natural and easy to take on-the-go." —Khajak Keledjian, founder of New York City meditation studio Inscape
8. Protein shake or soft-boiled eggs
"I usually drink a Dr. Frank Lipman Recharge Shake or have two soft boiled eggs for breakfast." —Joanna Vargas, celebrity facialist and creator of her namesake skincare line
9. Scrambled eggs
"I crave scrambled eggs and salad when traveling!" —Sara Vaccariello, owner of NYC's Avalon Acupuncture
10. Omelets
"Protein and produce! I usually bring some options like nut or seed butters that I can pair with fresh fruit or oatmeal on the go, but eggs and veggies are always my favorite option. I keep it simple and try to focus on getting in my veggies first thing with an omelet with spinach, tomato, and mushrooms." —Eliza Savage, RD, Middleberg Nutrition in New York City
