Healthier Fast Food Options

Hey friends! It’s been a little while but I am still here! The holidays were great and I still can’t believe they are over... The New Year started off rough with getting sick. I was sick for 2 weeks before I allowed my sister to take me to the doctor! I thought I had a really bad cold, ok?! I found out that I actually had a sinus infection – never had one before – and a little bit of bronchitis in one lung. Ugh. But hey, I am on the mend now and am feeling much better!

Anyways… I found this incredible list of healthier options that you can get at fast food restaurants. Let’s face it, we are busy and sometimes we only have time for places like this but if you know some healthier options you are much better off and won’t feel as crappy.

Here ya go friends! J
