Eating fast food doesn’t have to mean choosing junk. Many people are busy but still want meals that are tasty and healthy.
We know how hard it is to find fast food that is both satisfying and good for you. That’s why we offer healthy fast food options that make it easy to build a balanced meal.
Here are six ways to make your fast food order healthier at Medina’s Deli:
Pick a Protein-Packed Breakfast
Start your day with a breakfast that keeps you full and energized. Try our Turkey Bacon, Egg & Cheese sandwich or a Western Omelet Egg Sandwich. These are high in protein and give your body the fuel it needs.
Pair them with whole-grain bread or a small fruit side for a balanced fast food meal. Adding protein early also helps improve focus, mood, and energy throughout the day.
Add Some Vegetables
Vegetables make any meal healthier. Our Carne Asada Tacos or Carne Enchilada Burrito come with a side salad. Even adding lettuce, tomatoes, or peppers to your sandwich adds vitamins and fiber.
This makes your meal a healthy choice that tastes great, too. Eating more vegetables also supports digestion, strengthens immunity, and adds natural flavor.
Choose Grilled or Baked Proteins
Our Heavenly Bowls, like the Grilled Chicken Bowl or Steak Bowl, are perfect examples of a balanced meal. Grilled proteins have less fat than fried ones.
Combine them with rice or salad for a filling, nutritious meal that keeps you full. Grilled options provide essential nutrients and prevent extra unhealthy fats from sneaking in.
Watch Your Portion Sizes
Portions matter. Our wings and tenders are delicious, but try smaller portions and pair them with a side salad or a small order of empanadas.
This way, you enjoy your favorites while keeping your meal balanced. Controlling portions also helps prevent overeating and keeps daily calorie intake under control.
Pick Healthier Sides and Drinks
Swap fries for Home Fries or a salad. Choose drinks like Tropicana Juice or water instead of soda. These small changes reduce sugar and calories, turning your fast food order into a healthy fast food experience.
Better sides and drinks improve hydration, reduce sugar spikes, and support overall daily nutrition.
Mix and Match for Variety
Variety helps balance your meal. Combine a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with a salad and juice, or a Steak Bowl with a small portion of empanadas.
Mixing proteins, vegetables, and grains makes your meal both tasty and nutritious. Experimenting with flavors also keeps meals exciting while meeting essential nutrient needs daily.
