Friday Five: Healthy snacks at a truckstop
January 22, 2010
| by: Misty Bell
While at times it may seem sometimes that chips and candy are the easiest options at the truckstop, most do offer a variety of healthy items for those wishing to lose a few pounds or maintain healthy weight. Following are five suggestions for healthier alternatives at the truckstop:
Fruit
Most truckstops offer at least some basic choices when it comes to fruit. Even if you just grab an apple, orange or banana, you’ve found a low-fat, high-nutrition option.
Granola bars
You’ll often find a wide range of granola bar choices at the truckstop. Look for something with high fiber content, such as Kashi, Fiber One or Nature Valley. Experts say that increasing the amount of fiber in your diet may actually help with weight loss. Try to avoid the bars that have higher amounts of sugar.
Baked chips
