Travel and Eat Healthy on a Budget

Travel and Eat Healthy on a Budget

Hey McKinley!

I know many of you travel for McKinley so I wanted to provide some healthy food options for you that are quick, convenient and inexpensive.  If you have a fridge in your hotel, find the time to stop buy the grocery store and pick up some fruit, veggies and hummus or any other healthy snacks that you can travel with.

For convenience I chose 3 chain restaurant’s that are in most cities.  If there are other restaurant’s you would like me to give some healthy recommendation’s for please feel free to email them to me.  Thanks!
