You may be surprised that as a stay at home, working mom one of my favorite places to take my boys for lunch is McDonalds.
It's actually the perfect place for my kids to play in a confined area while I work.
We get some fresh air, the kids get to exercise and meet kids while we eat , and I'm not worried about them running off while I get to tap into wifi and get some emails out or blog posts up.
It's the perfect set up actually!
So I know some of you are like what!! How can you go there for lunch being a health and fitness coach!?
What could you possibly eat there.
It's fairly simple and easy actually!
It's called.... 
Pack your own bagged lunch!
I refuse to fill my body or my children's body with the garbage that is in McDonalds food.
Unfortunatly the options that may look like good choices. Or healthy choices actually are not at all!!
In fact the oatmeal and yogurt just about the same sugar and fat as in an ice cream!
Not to mention the salads are also loaded with fat and full of chemicals.
No thanks!
So thank you McDonalds for allowing me to use your space (get a coffee), but I'd rather bring my own food!
I don't always bring the same food, but today here is what's in my bag!
Carrots, celery and hummus and then grapes, banana and some nuts.
This is a true "Happy Meal". One that makes my kiddo happy and healthy !
