(NAPSI)—If you’re looking for a quick meal or snack on the go, too often, your options have been limited to the drive-through or grabbing processed snacks. As consumers gravitate toward healthy choices, some retailers are focusing on providing fresh, tasty options. Here are a few tips to help you eat smarter on the run.

• Start your day right—Breakfast really does set the tone for the whole day. Instead of skip- ping breakfast when you’re in a hurry, grab a yogurt and fruit.

• Plan for the munchies—When you pick up your morning coffee or lunch, plan your afternoon snack. You can balance healthy options with an occasional treat.

• Go for some color—Enjoy a variety of green, red and yellow fruits and vegetables every day so you don’t get bored with your options.

To help, you can now find a whole new line of fresh options designed with healthy eating in mind anytime of the day at one national convenience store.
