The Ultimate Fast Food

When meeting with clients in groups or individually to provide nutrition education and meal plans, I always reference Fruit as being the Ultimate Fast Food!

What can be easier than grabbing a banana or apple on your way out the door?
A simple piece of fruit can serve as breakfast on-the-go or a planned snack for later in the day.
Being able to use that apple in your car to curb your appetite before you reach the destination of your next meal will save you hundreds of calories per day if you forego the gas station snack center or fast food establishment!
Fresh Fruit does not involve environmental waste because those cores and banana peels can be thrown out a car window...just be sure to throw it far enough off the road though!
A piece of fresh fruit will provide vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavonoids, water and fiber. What does your typical "fast food" snack provide? Sugar, Salt, Fat and Preservatives.
Fruit cups packed in juice or water make a great alternative to fresh fruit and still provide many of the Ultimate Fast Food benefits with minimal waste. Start stocking your glove compartment today!

I always keep bananas, apples or dried fruit and nut containers in my car...weather permitting! True story: Bananas can explode on really hot days! ;)
