Spring Eating Tips

It’s springtime, and that means fruit and vegetable stands will begin to pop up on the sides of our nation’s highways. As a trucker, this is your best chance at finding healthy, convenient food while making the long haul. Freshness may be a foreign taste after a long winter of eating at truck stops, though. So, here are a few ideas to help you wean off the typical (and typically unhealthy) breakfast menu:

Breakfast tacos: Turn a typical breakfast taco into a super-food taco by adding all the nutrient-rich goodness of fresh avocado, tomatoes, peppers, onions and garlic.

Bagels: There’s nothing better than a bagel with cream cheese, that is, until you try it dressed up with farm fresh herbs, sliced cucumbers and those sweet little just-picked tomato varieties.

Smoothies: Invest in a minifridge and a blender to make smoothies with all your favorite fruits. Simply combine ice, juice, yogurt and the fruit(s) of your choice.
