Eating Organically during Business Trips

Thanks to growing popularity in most grocery stores and local markets, eating organically isn’t difficult at home. Even during your lunch break, you can enjoy organic meals by packing your own lunch from home.

When traveling, however, eating organically isn’t as easy. Most chain restaurants are just now starting to offer healthy options, let alone organic options.

However, there are some that are including organic items on their menus. On your next business trip, here are some familiar places you can eat with the environment in mind:

• Panera Bread
• Chipotle (read more here)
• Ruby Tuesday
• EVOS
• Burgerville
• Whole Foods Market (check out their deli and bakery for lunch choices)

Remember that not ALL of the foods offered at these locations are organic. You have to ask (or carefully peruse the menu) to find the organic options. Of course, before you leave, you can also check out local options. Many non-chain restaurants purchase foods from local farmers and have health, organic, fabulous food.

Don’t rely on yourself and the Yellow Pages to find a good options once you get there, or you’ll likely end up just giving up and eating at the hotel restaurant. Instead, go with a plan.
