I am sure at one time or another we have all found ourselves in the drive thru, starving and craving some fast food that will provide a solution to that crazy grumbling sound in our bellies. So, we go for something quick and fast. It also doesn’t help that each town has at least one to two, or even five or more fast food joints that offer quick yet unhealthy options for us.
The Best Fast Food
How do we avoid this? How can we avoid being that hungry, craving, cranky, in need of a fast fix person who has lost all control of wise determination? It’s much simpler than you’d think. The real fast food, before corporations built these multi-million dollar unhealthy options for us, was good old-fashioned fruits and veggies. Imagine that!
Fruits and vegetables should always be the number one option for a snack or meal. They are sold everywhere we look, although not usually at a drive thru!
Prep Is Best
If it is all about convenience (and I get that, our lives our busy), then we need to prepare ahead of time. If we pack snacks and quick foods to go in our purse or briefcase, then we’ll always have a healthy fast food option that aligns with our health goals.
What To Take and How To Take It
Other suggestions for quick snack foods are apples, bananas, oranges, and even some healthy homemade trail mix! Trail mix is my favorite go-to snack when I’m on the go. I put some nuts, raisins, and dried fruit like cranberries in a little Ziploc back or plastic Tupperware container. It’s always there, and it doesn’t fail me. It’s also quick to prepare. If I make a bunch of it, I can take a few servings for a couple of days, so it lasts. Costco also sells grass-fed beef jerky without soy, and that’s easy to take on the go.
The best way to avoid fast food detours while on the go is to make sure you always have a fast food option with you. Let it become part of your routine. It’s a generous gift to your body!
