On the Go Diet !

Blend a fruit smoothie or drink to take with you on your commute.

Fresh fruits and veggies are nature’s original fast food. Stick a banana, apple or celery stick in your bag for a quick and easy snack.

When out at a restaurant, try vegetable stir fry, vegetable fajitas, veggie wraps, or vegetable soup. When ordering a sandwich, ask for extra veggies such as lettuce, tomato, onions, sliced peppers or cucumbers. Order a side of veggies with your meal, or pick three or four veggie sides and create your own vegetable plate.

Salads are a great way to get a variety of fruits and veggies. Choose a salad with low-fat dressing (limit high calorie toppings like croutons instead) of fries.

Roll it up: Make a fruit roll-up that travels anywhere. Start with tortillas and peanut butter then add your favorite fruits – fresh or dried.

On the go with kids !

When ordering a kids meal, substitute fruit for the fries.

Have your kids help you make a large batch of trail mix at home using seeds, nuts, and dried fruit. Store trail mix in small bags so they are ready to go at a moments notice.

Ants on a Log—spread peanut butter on a piece of celery. Add raisins as ants and you have a fun, healthy treat.
