If you’ve never had to make a pit stop and eat at a fast food restaurant, consider yourself lucky. Not only is the entire menu appetizing at times, but also it’s extremely unhealthy when eaten daily. Worry not because eating on the fly or at a rest stop can actually be healthy – if you know the right things to get.

A lot of fast food places actually carry decently healthy and low calorie meals. You just have to look in the right place and know what to pair them with. Let’s take a look at what some of these fast food places have to offer, and remember, you’re totally allowed to eat whatever you want – these are just some options to help out if you’re looking to eat a bit healthier.

McDonald’s

If you’re in need of a quick lunch go to McDonald’s and try out their Snack Wraps! Both the Chicken Ranch Snack Wrap and the Honey Mustard Snack Wrap are perfect options. Ask for grilled chicken instead of fried, and ask to have no dressing if you’re looking to save calories. If you feel like that won’t be fulfilling, look for healthy options to pair it with like a small fry or a fruit parfait!

As woman we’re naturally going to have our periods, and along with it we may experience PMS. What is it? It’s premenstrual syndrome, which is a group of symptoms linked to our periods. The symptoms can start 1-2 weeks before your period and normally end when it does start. There isn’t anything specific that causes PMS – mainly a change in hormones and the symptoms can affect women differently, but one thing is for sure – PMS sucks!

It’s summer, which means it’s time to try new things. What better things to try out than fruit? There are so many exotic fruits out there waiting to be eaten. Three of those include: star fruit, dragon fruit, and passion fruit. Don’t be intimidated by their names or even their looks – these fruits are semi-easy to get your hands on and even easier to eat, and also, they’re all loaded with a lot of amazing benefits!

If there’s one treat that everyone craves over the summer, it’s definitely ice cream. Sadly, majority of ice creams are unhealthy not just because of their calorie count but also because of how much sugar are in particular flavors and brands. They’re unable to be eaten by some, too, due to the fact that ice cream is a dairy product.

Don’t worry, though, a solution has been found through these 10 ice cream options. The list includes vegan, and dairy, options.

Dairy-Free Coffee Ice Cream 

First off, who doesn’t love coffee? It’s an amazing drink with a rich flavor. The way to make this ice cream “dairy free” is to replace regular milk with soy (or maybe even almond?). A recipe to try provided by The Wannabe Chef, says to use sugar. If you’re impartial to doing so, try adding a zero calorie sweetener. The blog also says if you want to use flavored creamers to cut back on the amount of sugar you use. So if you find yourself craving some coffee, try making this ice cream instead!

Detox water is something that’s become predominately popular over the past few years, and for good reasons too – it’s delicious and so versatile! Not to mention extremely beneficial to our health. One of the biggest advantages of having detox / infused water is that it makes drinking water so much more enjoyable and fun. Along with that, they’re packed with antioxidants and vitamins!

There are hundreds of different combinations that can be done and trust me, they all taste amazing.

Let’s check out 5 detox recipes that are sure to hydrate and taste delicious this summer:

Cucumber-Lemon

One of the first infused water recipes I ever tried out and fell in love with. It’s a classic and great way to start off if you’re new to infusing. Some amazing benefits of this water are that both lemons and cucumbers are a source of vitamin C and antioxidants. They both have properties that can help even make someone look younger! Cucumbers also are a great source of relieving bloating, and the lemons are good for boosting our immune system.

To make the water you just need to slice ½ a lemon and ¼ a cucumber. Mix that into a large pitcher with 2 cups of ice and the rest water. Let it sit for roughly a hour before you start drinking. The mix should last you roughly 24-48 hours.
