Healthy AND Fast?? Can it be done?


STOP!! Don't do it! Just because you need to grab a bite quickly doesn't mean you need to pull into a fast food drive through and get a burger and fries.  
This lunch right here is healthy and fast!! You still have to be mindful though.
I have a Venti Iced Green Tea without any sweetener. That's important. The green tea already has a minty flavor and you don't need those extra sugar calories.

WITH sweetener:
120 calories
31 g of sugar!! Yikes!!

WITHOUT sweetener:
0 calories
0 g sugar!! Yay!!

This salad is chock full of yummy goodness but here just be careful with the dressing. That is where ALL the extra, unnecessary calories are. I just dip my fork into the dressing and then take a bite of the salad. I barely used any of it. Yes, it's delish and you can have some. Just not the whole amount they give you.

WITH dressing:
430 calories
22 g of fat
640 mg sodium

WITHOUT dressing:

250 calories
6 g fat
160 mg sodium

See the big difference?? Even good for you, healthier options require small little changes to them. But they add up to huge differences in your daily intake.

It's small choices, made consistently each and every day that create change and maintain your healthy lifestyle!!
