Eating Healthy Vegan / Vegetarian on the Go

Chopped fresh fruit is available in many grocery stores.

I do a lot of traveling, as I am a commercial photographer and videographer, see http://www.DennisDavisPhotography.com .I am trying to maintain a low sugar, low fat plant -based diet while I travel, and it is not easy. Here are some places that help:

Subway

Subway has two vegetarian choices, the veggie burger option or the all vegetable option. I normally buy a foot long veggie burger, no cheese, on honey oat or whole wheat. I add all the vegetables, and put sweet onion sauce on it, which is non-dairy and low fat. If you add mayo, cheese, sour cream or oil you are just adding fat, so don’t. Subway is a very healthy place to eat if you make intelligent choices. 

Chipotle Mexican Grill

This popular burrito place has just added brown rice to an already vegan friendly menu. I get a vegetarian burrito with fajita vegetables, brown rice, black beans, guacamole and salsa. No cheese, no sour cream, no meat, that’s for someone else.

Burger King

In addition to several salads on the menu, Burger King has oatmeal with fruit in the morning, and a vegetarian burger that with veggies makes a good sandwich. No mayo, no cheese for you. I only wish Burger King would take a clue from Subway, and offer whole grain buns instead of white bread.

Taco Bell

Taco Bell offers a number of bean-based items, bean burritos, tostadas, etc. I usually get a bean tostada with guacamole or a bean burrito with tomato salsa. No cheese, sour cream, or meat, please.

Baja Fresh

The menu includes fajita vegetables, black beans, guacamole and salsa. Put them in burritos or tostadas. If you have to eat something with a face, (non – vegetarian) the fish tacos here are one of the healthier options available in fast food.

  1. love the suggestions! Subway and Taco Bell I am use to but I will try the others! At Taco Bell I eat a bean burrito or tostado and make it fresco style that adds pico de gio salsa and omits the cheese.
