The best healthy fast food options outside a drive thru

The fast food drive thru is about convenience. The concept is to order food, and pick up food, very quickly. The ideal drive thru is so convenient and fast that there is no need to leave the car. Or turn the car off. Fast is convenient. It is also a great way to stick to a schedule. However, it may not be the healthiest choice.

It is easy to go straight to the dive thru and order food that matches the pictures on the sign. The same sign that is brightly lit and curiously hard to read. Or curiously difficult to compare prices. Furthermore, good luck finding a quick menu guide for nutritional values. In fact, it might be best to watch the ever changing prices while in the drive thru. With regard to the five dollar fountain drinks, the bill can add up quickly.

With this in mind, finding healthy fast food options outside a drive thru, might be the way to go. However, there is still plenty of hope. There are places offering comprehensive and healthy menu selections. Furthermore, it doesn’t require a lot of adjusting to get to the healthy selections. For example, Taco Bell has a basic beans and cheese menu item. Beans are pretty healthy, and cheese is on the healthy list too.

The best healthy fast food options

The healthy options go beyond a convenient drive thru. There are many places to order a healthy meal and then go pick it up. Or have it delivered. Once upon a time fast food was guilty by association. Since it was fast, it must not be healthy. The express, get it ready fast, nature of the fast food industry is about speedy service. So the packaging is about express to go service.

The fast service is the one that might get the repeat customers. However, that doesn’t mean the food itself is not healthy. Pizza is a surprisingly healthy food selection. Additionally it has a type of dual nature. Is it fast food? Is it healthy food because it’s made in an oven? Can it be both? Pizza is just plain good. It can be made with almost any combination of ingredients. It just so happens that many of the ingredients are also good for the body.

Perhaps this is about more than healthy or not healthy. Maybe it’s a situation where the labeling should be changed. What was once considered fast food in the old days, is top quality by today’s standards. And in light of recent times and events, that could point to several important side topics about healthy fast food options.

Outside the Drive thru

Going outside the drive thru is a great way to explore new food options. In fact, there is a popular opinion that restaurants without drive through windows have well rounded menu selections. Furthermore, there are the price differences to keep in mind.

With delivery apps, and call ahead take out orders, there is a greater variety of healthy fast food options. Although the restaurant may not be considered a fast food option, thanks to changing times and technology, it’s definitely an option. Thanks for reading today.
