Eating Healthy On The Go!

We all tend to have those busy moments. Whether it's work, school, kids, relationships, or all the above. It's so easy to drive through and grab the "quick fix," but there's the hidden MSG that could trigger your migraines. So how do you grab something quick without welcoming the migraine monster? Here's some tips:

Cereal is a great source of vitamins and nutrients. When paired with soy milk, you gain even more of the good stuff. When I'm between work and night graduate classes, a quick bowl of cereal keeps my blood sugar under control and adds more vitamin B12 (I'm severely deficient in B12).

Frozen sealed fish can be heated up in a jiffy. Sprinkle some garlic salt or fresh herbs to add some flavor. Salmon is a great source of omegas and vitamin B12. Tilapia is full of protein and is helpful for the avid exerciser. Since I'm starting to run, tilapia is a good buffer for my muscles.

Sandwiches are easy and offer a quick solution to lunch. Use vegetables, lactose free cheese, whole wheat bread, and hummus to enhance your meal. The more vegetables, the better!

Crackers and hummus are a great filler in between meals. Whole wheat crackers and wheat thins offer more fiber and less oil. By making hummus on your own, you can experiment with flavors you like and save money. Don't forget to use fruit to get more vitamins and nutrients.

Cooking healthy without migraine triggers doesn't have to be complicated. Even a microwave chef can follow the diet!
