How to avoid a fast food joint when on the go and hungry

Well, I am sure at one time or another we have all found ourselves on the drive thru line, starving, and craving some food that will provide a solution to that crazy grumbling sound in our bellies. So, we go for something quick and fast. It also doesn't help that each town has at least one to two or even more fast food joints to offer some quick yet unhealthy options for us. Seriously I am a pescetarian and have very few options and still sometimes end up with a small (or large, depending on the day) fry in my lap just so I don't feel like I am going to pass out! How do we avoid this? How can we avoid being that hungry, craving, cranky, and in a need of a fast fix person who has lost all control for healthy determination? Well, it is much simpler than you'd think.
 
The real fast food, before corporations built these multi-million dollar unhealthy options for us, was good old-fashioned fruits and veggies. Imagine that! Fruits and veggies should always be the number one option, and they are sold everywhere we turn as well, although they don't usually have a drive thru. So, if it is about convenience then we need to prepare ahead of time. If we pack snacks and quick foods to go in our purse or brief case then we will always have a fast food option that aligns with having a healthy determination.
 
I suggest packing apples, bananas, oranges, and even some healthy homemade trail mix! Trail mix is my favorite go-to snack when I'm on the go. I put some nuts, raisins, and dried fruit like cranberries in a little Ziploc back or plastic Tupperware container. It is always there and it doesn't fail me. It also quick to prepare and if I make a bunch of it I can take little servings for a couple days so it lasts.  I also really like Mary's Gone Crackers, crackers if you are one who craves a little crunch.
 
The best way to avoid fast food joints while on the go is to always make sure you have a fast food option in your purse.  Just put it in your preparing for the next day plan before bed or make it a weekend habit to make little baggies that you can grab as you are running out the door.

Hope you find this helpful!!

Pesceterian? Haven't even heard of that...
Fast food does have a way of pulling us in. Especially when kids are in the car. I am drawn to sweet over salty...so it's milkshakes that call me. And I don't think fast food even put milk or ice cream in them. It's probably a powder mix. Chick Fil A does have a good shake though.
You are so right about having good healthy snacks in the car with you. I always try to have nuts, an apple and a bottle of water stashed somewhere. Even chewing gum can help. Good Luck. We do live in a world of fast and easy and full of sugar...lacking nutrients!
