Eat Well on Vacation Without Cooking: A Practical Guide to Smart Ordering

by Mónica Pineda

Vacation should mean good food and zero kitchen time. Summer is for relaxing, exploring, and enjoying the moment and your meals should match that pace: fresh, tasty, and no fuss.

With Take Away Now, you can plan your days without worrying about cooking.
Here’s a practical guide to smart ordering so you can eat well without overspending or overthinking.

1. Match your order to your day

Each day on vacation looks different and your meals should follow:

  • -Beach or park day: choose cold, easy to carry options like salads, wraps, poke bowls, or filled baguettes.
  • -Exploration or activity day: go for food you can eat on the go, no heating or utensils needed.
  • -Chill at home day: treat yourself to a more indulgent meal like pizza, pasta, or a full international combo.

2. Balance fresh and filling

Not every day calls for the same thing. Alternate between light meals (salads, ceviche, bowls) and comforting favorites (curries, lasagna, artisan burgers) depending on your plans and appetite.

3. Use combos and group menus

Many restaurants offer summer specials designed to save time and money:

  • -2 for 1 offers
  • -Meal sets with drink and dessert
  • -Family sized menus or lunch deals

4. Don’t forget dessert or drinks

A refreshing drink or sweet finish can elevate your whole experience.Think chilled yogurts, fruit tarts, handmade ice cream, or smoothies.

Wherever you are, enjoy your vacation with ready to eat meals and no cooking. Keep it simple with Take Away Now.
