Eating Healthy On Vacation

If you plan to shake off your cabin fever with a summer getaway, keep these nutritious eating tips in mind during your travels.

• Don't be at the mercy of vending machines, fast food stops and airport cuisine. If you want healthy, convenient meals and snacks, take along a variety of our no-fuss weight management products. Many products simply require water to mix, such as our delicious pudding shakes, fruit drinks and creamy dessert puddings. Other products provide a truly grab-and-go treat, such as our delicious nutrition bars, and our hit-the-spot protein snacks (Crunchy Cheddar Mix, Pretzel Twists and chocolate flavored Mini Crisps).
  
  
• If you're traveling by car, pack a cooler filled with a variety of fruits, cut-up vegetables, milk for cereal (such as our Crisp & Crunchy Multigrain Cereal), ice cold water, etc.
  
  
• If you're traveling by plane, ask about special menus available, such as low-fat, sodium-restricted and vegetarian selection. (Note: You'll need to make this special request when you book your flight.)
  
  
• Consider eating breakfast in your room instead of heading fo the hotel restaurant. It will save you calories and free up extra time to enjoy more of the sights.

Remember, when you take a vacation from the daily grind, don't take a vacation from your healthy lifestyle.
