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 are 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, and gives you fiber, protein, iron, and calcium

Coffee

Wawa coffee is a must-have, but there are ways to mitigate its caloric impact. Order the Wawa Reserve Winter Blend. Any size. Add milk or cream if needed, but stay away from the high sugar drinks.

Lunch

Have the Oven-roasted Turkey Shorti hoagie. The Shorti is a good lunch size. Turkey and Swiss cheese provide servings of protein, but skipping the cheese, if possible, ups the health factor. Honey mustard and hot peppers add flavor and veggies add-ons are a shot of vitamins (well, some) and fiber.

Vegetarian Option

Try the Wawa 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 yet more fiber.

Dinner

Enjoy the roasted veggie, black bean, and rice burrito. Black beans give fiber, protein, magnesium, and potassium. Add avocado for monosaturated fats. For flavor, toss on some cheese, salsa, jalapeno peppers, and sriracha sauce.

Snacks

It takes an awful lot of willpower not to drift around a Wawa and be enticed by the TastyKakes, chocolate bars, chips, Smoothies, and ice cream.

Customers looking to leave with something satisfying that’s not a five-digit calorie slam can muster the fortitude to pick up:

• Apple peanut butter dipper
• The baby carrot snack bag with two hard-boiled eggs
• Cottage cheese and pineapple
• Salami-wrapped mozzarella cheese
• RXBar or Kind bar.
