Well, I am sure at one time or another we have all found ourselves in the drive thru at McDonalds. 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 doesn’t help that there are so many junk food options available to offer us some quick yet unhealthy food. How do we avoid this? How can we avoid being that hungry, craving and cranky person who has lost all control for healthy determination? Well, it is much simpler than you’d think.

The real fast food, before corporations built these multi-million pound 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. 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 handbag, then we will always have a fast food option that aligns with a healthy lifestyle.

I suggest packing apples, bananas, oranges, and even some healthy homemade trail mix! Trail mix is my favourite go-to snack when I’m on the go. I put some nuts, raisins, and dried fruit like cranberries in a little plastic sandwich bag or Tupperware container. It is always there and it doesn’t fail me. It also quick to prepare and if I make a load of it I can take little servings for a couple days so it lasts.

The best way to avoid fast food while on the go is to always make sure you have a fast food option in your bag.
