For those who suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease this sandwich will do nothing to alleviate your health or your waistline. Add a sugary coffee drink along with the sandwich and you can kiss your diet goodbye!

Don’t worry, it is possible to eat healthy at Starbucks. “Starbucks has increased its food options tremendously over the past few years, and they make it pretty darn easy to find a healthy meal when eating on the go,” Lindsey Pine, M.S., R.D., owner of Tasty Balance Nutrition. You just have to choose wisely.

Instead of the fat and sodium ladened Chicken and Double-Smoked bacon sandwich, opt for the Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon and Cage-Free Egg White Sandwich. The sandwich is made with a whole-wheat English muffin, sizzling reduced-fat turkey bacon and reduced-fat white Cheddar cheese. It clocks in at a modest 230 calories and has less sodium than all of Starbucks’ other breakfast sandwiches. 

Don’t ruin your healthy sandwich alternative by drinking a high fat and sugar coffee drink. Pair the healthier breakfast sandwich with a grande iced coffee with coconut milk or grande cappuccino with almond milk. Eating the right combination of lean proteins and fats along with the caffeine from the coffee can help fuel your metabolism and keep you satisfied until lunch.
