Well, I am sure at one time or another we have all found ourselves at the drive thru line, starving, and craving some 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 more fast-food joints to offer some quick yet unhealthy options for us. How do we avoid this? How can we avoid being that hungry, craving, cranky, and in a need of a fast fix person who has lost all control for eating healthy? Well, it is 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 veggies should always be the number one option, and they are sold everywhere we turn as well, although they don’t usually have a drive thru.

So, if it is about convenience then we need to prepare ahead of time. If we pack snacks and quick foods to go in our purse or briefcase then we will always have a fast-food option that aligns with having a healthy determination.

I suggest packing 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 is always there and it doesn’t fail me. It also quick to prepare and if I make a bunch of it I can take little servings for a couple days so it lasts.

Healthy, nitrate free dried meat such as beef or turkey sticks or salmon jerky are also great options

The best way to avoid fast food joints while on the go is to always make sure you have a fast-food option in your purse or briefcase.
