I recently flew to NYC to visit my wonderful friends and of course buy a materialistic good that I definitely do not need (but the bag is so cute!). I flew on Jet Blue and got stuck in the JFK airport with a 3 hour delay. Gotta love the San Francisco fog!
Once I accepted the fact that I was going to be in the aiport for hours I decided to wander. I walked through all the duty free shops and spent well over an hour in the book store entertaining myself reading diet books. Weird but true… I then had to figure out what I was going to eat. I took a look at the food court and was disappointed when I saw fast food versions of Mexican, Chinese and Italian food. As I walked around I immediately got frustrated on how difficult it is to eat well when food is out of your control.
As I continued to wander around I literally bumped into the most fantastic salad bar! I am not kidding when I thought it was a mirage! Inside the food court of the Jet Blue JFK terminal is the most wonderful food court full of fresh, delicious food. The salad bar has well over 25 items including non starchy vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats. I was thrilled! In addition they have whole grain snacks to munch on, fresh fruit, plain high protein yogurt and small portions of sweets. It just made my day!
I made a salad just how I like it and actually sat in the airport with glee and enjoyed my well…airport food.
Go visit the big apple and get a healthy meal at the airport! Safe travels!
