Anything healthy at gas stations?

Question

I want to grab some munchies at a gas station before I go to work, but we all know gas stations tend to sell nothing but chips, soda, and candy.

Are there some little snacks that I can find at a gas station that are relatively healthy? All I can think of are pretzels.

Answer 1

Some offer dried fruit or nuts in the snacks; all will have bottled water, some have milk too.  A few have a bowl of fruit, usually simple like apples or bananas, by the cashier.

Answer 2

Trial Mix, crackers & cheese

Answer 3

Nuts, most will have subs, and salads, that come with the fork and dressing.

Also if its in the morning grab a coffe, maybe a slurpee.

Answer 6

Hmm, not so true! Where do you live? The gas stations I go to (QuikTrip and Race Trac) have both good and bad snacks available. QuikTrip always has a basket of Bananas and Apples at one location near my home as well as trail mixes and nuts. Race Tracs are even better if you're looking for healthy alternatives. They have a little section dedicated to sandwhiches and in addition to apples or oranges, they even have fresh chopped fruit and yogurts cold and ready to go.

Try to go to the most popular gas stations, as they usually have nice things/cheaper gas/cleaner interior which of course makes them more popular. :) I never see nice things like I mentioned in the little 'food mart' gas stations. (What alot of them are called)

And when I don't stop in either of those, all gas stations have some sort of trail mix or nuts or sunflower seeds or something like that. :P Sometimes it's the only healthy thing they have, but all gas stations have at least that. Or a box of raisins. :) Though, those types of things are usually not what I'm aiming for. :P -SHAME-

Answer 7

get baked chips, rice crispies, granola bars, diet soda or water and the ealthiest candy would probably be a york bar(only 140 calories and 2.5 grams of fat)

Answer 8

Ususally if I have the munchies and the only place to get something to eat is one of those convenience store gas stations, I usually buy a bottle of Tylenol, a quart of beer and just finish them off...

Answer 9

I'm scared going to Gas Station joints.

Answer 10

Hmmm peanut M&Ms aren't too bad for you. Maybe some trail mix.

Answer 11

Nuts

Answer 12

you can not get anything
