Here is a quick guide about the healthiest food options at local fast food restaurants around Bloomsburg.

General Tips

Be wary of liquid calories, especially in drinks you would assume would be healthy, such as smoothies, as these are unhealthier than you think and much less filling! For example, a medium Coca-Cola is 220 calories and a tall Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino from Starbucks is 330 calories. Moreover, avoid things like whipped cream and sweetener in your Starbucks drinks.
Salads are not always the healthier option if the protein is deep fried and covered in high-fat dressing or cheese. At fast-food places they often add extra salt to make it taste nicer so it defeats the point of getting a salad to be healthier.
Avoid adding cheese, guacamole, ketchup, extra salt and other toppings and extra sauces.
Avoid meat and stick to veggie/vegan options, the majority of the time these are the healthier options.

And now, on to specific food locations in Bloomsburg.
