Fast-GF-Food, it exists!

MIAMI-> ST. PETE -> MIAMI,  MIAMI->JAX->MIAMI,  MIAMI->ORL->MIAMI....

You get the picture, I drive a lot. And by a lot, I mean that those are usually my "day" trips for work. I'm constantly on the road, and as I'm sure many of you have realized, gluten free & fast food don't exactly go hand in hand. Trust me, ordering a grilled chicken sandwich and only eating the chicken isn't exactly fulfilling. Until a few months ago I had never been to Chik-fil-a (a travesty, I know.) , but I found myself dragged in there one day and was wondering how I could just order fries without the people I was with thinking I had some type of eating disorder.


Then as I scanned the kid's menu I saw those three magical words "grilled chicken nuggets". It took me a second to realize what I was seeing, I quite literally did not believe my eyes...but once I did, I ordered a kids meal. No shame in my game. I know that a kids meal won't fill everyone up, but when I'm on the road a 6 piece grilled nuggets with waffle fries & fresh lemonade is the perfect light meal to keep my energy level up. Not to mention the 6 piece nuggets only have 110 calories, so its not only gluten-free but also one of the healthiest options on the menu. Luckily, I haven't been missing out on this awesomeness for long since I found out that the grilled nuggets were only introduced this past January. (check out the press release here) 

It's so awesome to have a go-to fast food meal when I'm on the go, the only downfall being I kind of have to be a little more aware of where there are and aren't Chik-fil-a's so that I can make sure to not miss my opportunity to stop and get my nom on. This entire meal is certified gluten-free so it should be safe even for those of you with gluten allergies.
