Wawa is not the first place you think of for healthy eating but those options exist, writes Amy Von Sydow Green for phillymag.com.

Here’s some healthy possibilities, though choices may vary depending on availability.

Breakfast

The healthiest breakfast sandwich is an egg white omelet sandwich with avocado on whole wheat. 

It fills you up, but gives you fiber, protein, iron and calcium

Coffee

Wawa Reserve Winter Blend. Any size. Add milk or cream but stay away from the high sugar drinks.

LunchOven roasted turkey Shorti hoagie.  The Shorti is a good lunch size. Turkey and swiss cheese give protein or even skip the cheese. Honey mustard and hot peppers add flavor and you can add veggies.

Vegetarian option

A: Veggie Shorti on wheat. Swap the wheat roll to an original Shorti roll. Add cherry pepper relish for flavor.  Feel free to add a side of black beans for energy and fiber.

Dinner

Roasted veggie, black bean and rice burrito. Black beans give fiber, protein, magnesium and potassium. Add avocado for mono-saturated fats.  For flavor, add cheese, salsa, jalapeno peppers and sriracha sauce.

Snacks

Apple peanut butter dipper

The baby carrot snack bag and two hard-boiled eggs.

Cottage cheese and pineapple

Salami-wrapped mozzarella cheese

RXBar or Kind bar.
