Healthy Fast Food Eats

So last week I decided to talk about being healthy at Starbucks. This week, I am talking about being healthy at other places that I frequent! Some are “healthy” and some, well, not so much. But all of them give you some options to stay healthy this summer!

Jamba Juice


If you’re like me, you love smoothies. And you like to think that having a smoothie is healthy. But dieters beware, because smoothies are often packed with sugar. At Jamba Juice, though, you can get smoothies with less calories, fat, and sugar, and you DEFINITELY should, since even those still have lots of sugar!

Order a small and it has 150 Calories, 0 grams of fat and 30 grams of sugar.

McDonalds


Not even gonna lie, McDonalds has to be my secret favorite fast food place. But not everything on their menu is good for trying to fit into my bikini.

My picks: Artisan Grilled Chicken Sandwich, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Fruit n’ Yogurt Parfait

The Artisan Grilled Chicken has only 360 calories and 6 grams of fat, while the 4-piece nuggets have 190 calories and 12 grams of fat. The best snack? The Fruit n’ Yogurt parfait with 150 calories but only 2 grams of fat!

Chipotle


Not gonna lie, it’s pretty hard to eat healthy at Chipotle. If you’re going with friends and don’t want to eat a 1,000 calorie disaster, here is a great burrito bowl order that you don’t have to feel guilty for!

My pick: Chicken Burrito Bowl with black beans, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa and cheese! This comes in at only 445 calories with only 16 grams of fat. If you have to have the guac know that it comes with an extra 16 grams of fat, even if it is “healthy fat.”

Panera


Panera is known for being pretty healthy, but you still have to watch it sometimes. The dressings on their salads can really pack a punch so it might be a better option to ask for a different dressing like reduced-fat balsamic vinaigrette!

My pick: A you-pick-two of the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad (with the reduced-fat balsamic vinaigrette) and half of a Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich! This combo only totals 450 calories and 13 grams of fat! You can also swap in half of a Steak and Arugula sandwich if you’re looking for some meat, which comes in at 250 calories and 9 grams of fat!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
