Breakfast Best: Starbucks

When you're on the go and need a quick bite, it's best to pack a healthy snack from home whenever possible. However, if you find yourself at Starbucks, there are some good options available if you make mindful choices. Avoid processed meats like bacon and sausage, which are high in saturated fats. Keep in mind that although some items might align with your calorie and macronutrient goals, they can also be high in sodium. This is particularly important if you have high blood pressure.
