How to Stay Healthy While Traveling: Quick Vegan Meals in Hamburg

Hey there! I’m Till, the founder of råbowls. I know how exploring a new city and trying to avoid fast food feels. You’re in Hamburg, known for vegan goodness, and I can help you stay healthy with quick, nutritious meals.

1. Plan Ahead Like a Pro

I’ll tell you a little secret: If you know where to go, you’ll never have to settle for soggy sandwiches or mystery meat kebabs. When you’re in Hamburg, råbowls is THE spot for quick, healthy, and plant-based meals that’ll keep you energized for all those Instagram-worthy sights.

Fun Fact: Did you know Hamburg has more bridges than Venice AND Amsterdam combined? That’s a lot of walking… better fuel up! Our locations at Gänsemarkt and Rathaus are ideally placed for you to swing by and grab a nourishing bowl while you’re exploring the city’s iconic spots.

2. Power Up with Plant-Based Proteins (You’re Gonna Need It)

While enjoying boat tours in the harbor and climbing countless stairs in churches (Hamburg, why so many stairs?!), it's important to have long-lasting energy. Although pretzels are delicious, they won't provide the all-day fuel you need. Instead, opt for plant-based proteins that will keep you energized and ready to tackle your itinerary.

At råbowls, we’ve got you covered with our protein-packed bowls like the Sōre Slayer Bowl. It’s loaded with double protein chili planted.pulled and edamame. Basically, it’s like giving your body a high-five in food form.

Fun Fact: Hamburg’s Speicherstadt (a must-see!) is the largest warehouse district in the world. You’ll be thanking your high-protein bowl when you’re exploring those endless streets of cool brick buildings.

3. Hydration is Key (Especially After All That Walking)

Let’s be real, traveling can be thirsty work. Between sightseeing and running to catch the U-Bahn, it’s easy to forget to hydrate. But you don’t want to end up like one of those dry, flaky souvenirs—stay hydrated, my friend!

While you’re out and about, carry a reusable water bottle (save the planet and your wallet), and if you’re near råbowls, stop by for one of our fresh juices. They’re made with real fruits and veggies, so you can hydrate AND give your immune system a little love.

Fun Fact: The Elbphilharmonie’s glass façade is made of 1,000 curved panels, each individually shaped. Mind-blowing, right? You’ll need a juice break just to process that.

4. Snack Smart (No One Likes a Hangry Tourist)

Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there—one minute you’re happily exploring, the next you’re hangry. It happens. But you can avoid it with the right snacks in your bag. Pack some nuts, seeds, or our very own vegan protein cookies, like the Banana Choc Cookie. They’re perfect for munching on while you’re waiting for that next epic photo op.

Fun Fact: Hamburg has a subway station with walls made of gold. Yep, the HafenCity Universität station is legit golden, and trust me, it’s totally worth a snack stop while you marvel at the shine.

5. Warm Meals for Chilly Days (Because Hamburg Can Be a Bit Moody)

Visiting Hamburg in the winter? Or maybe you’ve just been caught in one of those infamous Hamburg rain showers (umbrella in July? Yep, that’s Hamburg for you). Either way, nothing beats a warm meal to keep you cozy.

Our Cheating Chili Bowl is the perfect way to warm up from the inside out. It’s got everything you need: warm brown rice, sweet potatoes, and spicy chili planted.pulled. Plus, it’s 100% plant-based, so you won’t need a nap afterward (unless, of course, you want one).

Fun Fact: The world’s largest model railway is in Hamburg at Miniatur Wunderland, and it even has tiny planes that take off and land. It’s adorable, and you’ll be glad you had a warm bowl when you’re exploring this massive (yet miniature) attraction.

6. Hamburg’s Vegan Scene is Booming

Hamburg is a haven for plant-based eaters. With so many vegan and veggie-friendly spots popping up around the city, it’s almost too easy to find healthy meals. From trendy cafés to laid-back street food, you’ve got options—lots of them. But of course, råbowls is your go-to for fresh, fast, and wholesome meals.

Fun Fact: Hamburg was the first city in Germany to ban coffee pods in government buildings because they’re not eco-friendly. Pretty cool, huh? Our eco-friendly, plant-based packaging fits right in with that vibe.

Fuel Up and Explore.
