Disney4me Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Many of us regard a trip to Walt Disney World as an opportunity to take a break from healthy eating, and counting calories, carbs, etc.But sometimes, you don’t necessarily want to check nutritional discipline at the Purple Gates.You may think that healthy eating at Walt Disney World is an oxymoron. But more and more, that’s simply not so.Sure, you can indulge to your heart’s content. But whether you’re looking to sub out just one meal or snack a day for a health-savvy option, or you plan to stick to your guns in the nutrition department while you’re amidst the magic, we have some great tips for finding healthy and tasty options at Walt Disney World!They come courtesy of the DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining 2015! And if you find these tips to be helpful, pick up your copy of the Guide today for $4 off using code “2015” right here!Head for the Grab and GoNot too long ago, Disney World was a sea of hamburgers, fries, and soda pop. And some people think that’s what it STILL is.But, honestly, things have changed.Disney Grab and Go Healthy OptionsSure, you still have lots and lots of choices in the burger genre. But they’ve definitely expanded beyond the fast food mentality when it comes to quick eating options.My best tip for eating healthy — and this goes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time — is to head for the Grab and Go section.Sunshine Seasons Fruit and Cheese PlateYou’ll spy Grab and Go spots in lots of places. There are always robust choices in the Resorts. There, you’ll find everything from prepared salads, sandwiches made with lean meats, and even sushi. Check out Landscape of Flavors at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort for a great selection! And when it comes to a Park option, Sunshine Seasons offers choices that can’t be beat.Grab and Go Sushi at Landscape of FlavorsSo if you have the resolve to pass the pizza and burgers by, a healthy meal is totally in your grasp!Be Mindful About Restaurant ChoicesIf you have healthy eating in mind, then you probably shouldn’t pencil in a counter service lunch at Casey’s Corner. Don’t get me wrong — Corn Dog Nuggets and Plastic Cheese are totally boss. But let’s face it — planning ahead to eat at a restaurant that offers lots of fresh choices and grilled options is probably a better idea when you’re trying to stay on the healthy bandwagon.Fortunately, better-for-you options abound at Walt Disney World. One of my favorite spots to grab a healthy counter service lunch is Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You can’t go wrong with their Chicken or Vegetable Curry.Tamu Tamu Vegetarian CurryAnother option that I can recommend is the Japan Pavilion at Epcot. Whether you choose Miso Soup from Kabuki Cafe, a counter service meal at Katsura Grill, or you opt for table service at Tokyo Dining or Teppan Edo, there are lots of grilled meat and veggie choices.Filet Served with Rice and Veggies at Tokyo DiningKnow Where to Find Healthy and Delicious SnacksBut what about snacks? Well, surely, you can indulge a little. But if you want to follow a healthy eating plan most of the time, even when it comes to snacks, you have some surprisingly good options.When I want to nosh on something healthy and filling in Magic Kingdom, I love to head to Liberty Square Market. Not only do they offer some high quality fruits and veggies to snack on, but they have a couple of fun hot options, too. How about skipping the side of fries and going for a steaming Baked Sweet Potato?A Baked Sweet Potato Makes a Yummy and Satisfying Snack!If you prefer plain Baked Potatoes, you’ll find them here as well.I also love their Hot Roasted Corn!Spiced Up Corn!And don’t forget dessert! I recommend a Dole Whip as a lighter option to ice cream.The Classic Dole Whip Float!Go for the Dole Whip Float — my favorite! — and get a serving of fruit juice, too! Besides, they’re gluten-free and vegan, so they’re the perfect option for guests with food sensitivities.Ready for All of Our Best Tips?We’ve got TONS of Disney World Dining Tips — including great information for scoring healthier eats for you and your kiddos — in our big, bold, 490-page DFB Guide to Walt Disney World® Dining 2015 — and the guide is your ticket to planning your best Disney trip yet!The DFB Guide to Walt Disney World® Dining 2015 is full of tips and planning tools developed by Disney World experts over 20+ years of visits.
