Hi friends! Hope you are having a great beginning of your week!
If you follow the blog, you know that it’s definitely crazy being a work-from-home momma. To be honest, it’s a lot of juggling and I haven’t gotten it quite figured out yet. We are always running around doing something, constantly on the go from pre-school pick ups to doctors visits, basically going all over metro Detroit! It’s craziness.
I’ve also talked before about how I am the worst person when hungry. I definitely get “hangry” and morph into a sassy impatient toddler. So, it’s important for me to stay fueled when I’m busy with my boys. I have been on a mission to lose weight (it’s going great) so I am trying to make healthier choices. One of my favorite places to stop for a quick bite is McDonalds.
I know what you’re thinking — McDonalds? YUP. They’ve actually got a lot of great items on the menu now that are a lot healthier! And it’s my favorite place to grab a wrap while I’m out running errands with the boys. I mean, just look at this delicious grilled chicken wrap (yes, you can request grilled chicken!)..
For breakfast I am a HUGE fan of the Egg White Delight – it just doesn’t get better than that and I love that it is egg whites only! That, a cup of orange juice, and some coffee is my idea of the perfect breakfast. When I woke up this morning William (being the awesome husband that he is) had already ran to McDonalds and had this breakfast waiting for me! What a catch!
After that I was fueled-up and ready for a full day with my kiddos – and believe me, with my boys – I gotta stay on my toes! Why McDonalds? Because it’s delicious, convenient, and affordable. It’s got that classic taste that I just can’t shake. Plus, the golden arch is pretty cool ๐
Here are some of my favorite healthier options while on-the-go: Premium Bacon Ranch Salad, Egg White Delight, Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfait, Fruit and Maple Oatmeal, and the Mango Pineapple Smoothie.
Have you tried any of these?
How do you make healthier choices while you’re on-the-go?
I cant even remember the last time I went to McDonalds – mainly because I have always been a vegetarian and now I’m vegan, but it looks like they are adding more variety of items to their menu! Glad they have healthier options ๐
A good/bad aspect of not consuming animal products is that there is literally nothing I can eat at McDonald’s lol.
To stay healthy, I usually make and freeze breakfast sandwiches or burritos so we can grab them and go!
Ohh, good idea!
I’m still trying to find the balance as well, and although I can’t remember the last time I ate at McDonalds, it’s good to know they are now offering healthier options!
I never really eat at McDonalds, but I do love their coffee! I need to try the Egg White Delight sometime.
The Egg White Delight is my favorite – it’s so good! And yeah, the coffee is great!
I never eat at McDonald’s being a vegan, but it is great that they give you a healthier option now. I know way back when before I became a vegetarian it was just junk hehe. It’s good you are bringing attention to healthier options.
Thanks Heather! I love that they are trying to incorporate healthy items into the menu too! The salads are so good!
Pineapple and mango smoothie are my MUST Have from McDonald’s <3
Oh, it is SOOO good!
Your son is adorable! It;s nice to see Mcdonalds is fighting against obesity.
Thank you so much! That is so sweet of you ๐
i giggled when i saw your picture on instagram – only because when we go to mickey ds for a quick breakfast i usually get the egg mcmuffin delight because its healthy – but then i fail when i order two hashbrowns. its the effort right?
Haha! I totally understand – that hash browns are just SO good!
It’s been a decade since I have been in a McDonald’s so great to see they have so many healthy options now!
Thanks for sharing about the healthier options. McDonalds is one of the few places to eat near my work.
You’re welcome! I really like the new items!
Looks good… Can this baby be here already so I can eat whatever I want? ๐ Thanks for sharing.
Uhhh, pretty sure I’m the biggest McDonald’s fan out there. So yes, I’ve had it all – loved it all, and disapointed that they changed their milkshakes lolol…
I haven’t had McDonalds in so long! I am totally guilty of fast food though from time to time. Sometimes you just have to prioritize and give it a go.
He is such cutie and looks like he’s enjoying himself! ๐
I love this. Its so important to be healthy!
So glad there are healthier options at McDonalds now. We don’t eat their often but when we do I’m happy to know we can try and keep it healthy.
I struggle hard with healthy eating on the go, and especially where breakfast is concerned. I am so bad! I need to check out the egg white mcmuffin, but goodness that bacon, egg and cheese. ๐
I really don’t remember the last time I was in McDonald’s. I really think that it’s been years.
I love their wraps and a Big Mac every now and then ๐
I totally get “hangry” as well. I feel your pain ๐
I’m always hangry! Glad to see MC D’s is getting on the healthy wagon!
I’m never healthy when I go to McDonalds, I raid the EuroSaver menu ๐
I would never put healthy and mcdonalds in the same sentence. But I do give them props for trying to incorporate healthier meals in their menu.
That little cutie is too adorable for words!!! I haven’t been to McDonald’s in forever. Sounds like you found some yummy eats.
I have such negative thoughts when I think of McDonalds but that food looks/ sounds really good! I need to try that egg white delight sometime soon!
Glad they have healthier options, if we’re in a rush for breakfast or need snack I usually go to our local french bakery and get fresh made pastries ๐
