Clean & Green Fast Food
Archives: Diet and Nutrition
If you’re having trouble hunting down restaurants that serve healthy, inexpensive, fast food, one option to try is Chipotle Grill. They currently have over 500 places throughout the U.S., and their Mexican food is top burrito. Not only do they get their meats from natural sources (including Niman Ranch) and slow-roast them to perfection, everything on their menu us made from whole foods and natural ingredients.
So when the fast-food craving strikes, consider Chipotle. And consider splitting your entree with a friend. The portions are generous. Opt for one of the restaurant’s salads. (Avoid the white-flour tortillas.) Top with pork carnitas and black beans, and ask for a side of guacamole, for a power-packed, low-glycemic meal in about five minutes for about five bucks. Ole!

I love Chipotle, but here in NYC, that combo is $9.46, plus tax, totaling $10.25! >:(
