Why is that we get suckered into the standard burger joints the moment we need to eat in a hurry? Are we always dying for a burger or pizza or is it that those are the first things that come to mind when we feel rushed?
I would like to give you a few meal ideas that your wallet and waistline will thank you for.
Whole Grain + Vegetable + Lean Dairy = Complete, Wholesome Meal
Put it in a Tupperware:
- whatever you cooked last night
- baked potato w/ 1 Tbsp. Italian dressing & parmesan cheese
- sweet potato w/ 1 Tbsp. butter & cinnamon
- salad w/ vinaigrette dressing
- whole-wheat toast w/ 1 Tbsp. all-natural peanut butter
- single-serve yogurt
- any plant- be creative

Panera
Bread- has organic and all-natural options. Watch out for the baked goods!
·
Jason’s
Deli- has some organic foods. They
even advertise their healthiest options and offer smaller portions. Just watch the sodium if you have high blood pressure.
·
Noodles
& Company- You have the control here. Be smart- get whole grain pasta and a vegetable-based sauce. They use healthier oils, hormone-free meats, and organic tofu, but remember to avoid creamy sauces and nix the packaged desserts.
· Corner
bakery café- great for breakfast. They have a veggie-stuffed omelet,
fresh oat and fruit cereal, and lean dairy options.
·
Chipotle- You have the control here as well. Add lots veggies and limit sour cream and cheese.
They use fresh, local,
organic ingredients, and hormone-free meats.
·
Einstein
Bros Bagels- Choose the Good Grains bagel and top it with peanut
butter, hummus, or reduced fat shmear. Remember to stick to one bagel or split a lunch sandwich.
