Thanksgiving is approaching and that means plenty of you are off to the airport to visit family and friends. The healthiest eating in the airport starts at home with pre-assembled snacks. Packing healthy snacks is especially important while traveling, because healthy options can be limited and temptations are everywhere. Now that airport security is so tight we must rely on what the airports can provide us with. There are so many unhealthy food choices when we travel. Here is a list of some healthier options:
Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal
Starbucks Whole Grain Western Omelet Wrap
McDonald's Premium Bacon Ranch Salad with Grilled Chicken
Au Bon Pain Garden Vegetable Soup
Starbucks Multigrain Bagel
Dunkin' Donuts Egg White Veggie Flatbread
Chili's "guiltless" salmon with sides of black beans and steamed vegetables
Panda Express mixed Veggies and Steamed Rice
Hudson News -Luna Bars, Special K Bars, Any Organic Bars, Wheat thins, Almonds
Wolfgang Puck Express Chinois Chicken Salad
Cosi Mediterranean Shrimp Salad
Subway- 6 in Sub on whole grain bun
These are just a few ideas. There are also many places where you can get fresh fruit, sandwiches on whole grain bread, yogurt parfaits with fresh fruit, hummus and chips and protein bars. Most importantly, since you cannot take beverages through security, buy two bottles of water per person in order to stay hydrated on your journey.
