Don't be caught on the run without the right fuel for yourself or your family.
Everybody's busy but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice good nutrition when you are running out the door for work, school or sports. Try these tips for your next dashboard dining experience. But remember, for safety, the driver only dines at red lights!
1. Think portable... cheese sticks, yogurt, granola bars, 100% juice boxes and a bottle of water are grab and go. Remember to take an ice pack to keep foods cold.
2. Zip top baggies are perfect for holding trail mix, vegetable sticks, pretzels, nuts and sandwiches on whole grain bread. Snack size bags help with portion control too.
3. Disposable coffe cups with domed lids let you carry an endless list of goodies from home. A plastic spoon or fork slips right through the sipping hole for a spill proof portable and disposable container. Try cereal, oatmeal or a smoothie for breakfast. Lowfat yogurt, a fruit cup and a sprinkle of granola make a perfect snack. What about pasta salad, cottage cheese, left-overs, cooked veggies, thick soup?
So skip the high fat, high calorie, expense of fast food and become the neighborhood gourmet of the car pool or the envy or your commuter train companions. The key to making this successful is planning ahead. Enlist the help of your children to prepare foods the night before. Use the time as a learning experience for healthy nutrition and everyonoe wins. Make dashboard dining delicious and nutritious!
