As I bet a lot of you have done, I made promises to myself on New Year's Day that I would take better care of myself this year. And part of that "better care" is eating a healthy breakfast every day. Well, like most New Year's resolutions, this one has been spotty, but today I decided to keep the resolution and search out a healthy breakfast at the Memphis airport before my plane boarded.
Sunday mornings are a bit slow these days at MEM and it only took a short time to get past security so I had plenty of time to scout out my options. It became clear quickly that the words "healthy" and "breakfast" were never used together on the ads designed to bring you in to the food vendors on Terminal C. Moe's had breakfast burritos, Cinnabon was sending their normal "come hither" fragrances my way, and the sit-down restaurant offered eggs, bacon, biscuits, and gravy.
Luckily the Starbucks way down at the northern end of the terminal finally met the bill. Their oatmeal only has 140 calories and certainly fills you up on a dreary winter morning. They gave me a bag with the topping options: nuts, dried fruit, brown sugar which, if you add them all, will give you another 250 calories, so be careful. This was the only healthy option Starbucks offers in Memphis. None of their stores past security offer the egg sandwiches or wraps.
Do you have some suggestions on where to get healthy breakfasts at the airports you use? Share them with us so we don't have to go on our own searches!
