Healthy Food Finds

2/28/2018

Here are some of the healthier snack items I've found throughout the parks, or at least things you can track and not go overboard with. This doesn't include the fruit that I've mentioned on a separate page. This page will continually be updated as I find more things, so stay tuned and keep checking back for more! For restaurant recommendations that are on the healthier side, check out my Restaurant Guide!

Dole Whip

Bring a measuring cup, because Dole Whip is a classic Disney treat that we actually have nutritional information for!
According to Dole's website, it's 5 Smart Points and 90 calories for a half cup. In my experience, they usually give you about a cup's worth, so if you don't have a measuring cup handy you can just split it with a friend and call it a safe guesstimate. Here's where you can get it:

Aloha Isle (Magic Kingdom)
Pineapple Lanai (Polynesian Resort)
Tamu Tamu Refreshments (Animal Kingdom)
Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival (seasonal)
Disney Springs Marketplace (served near the Marketplace Co-Op)
Pop Century Resort

Dole Whip also made my list of Best cheat snacks at Walt Disney World because it is such a good option for calorie counters, WW, etc.!

Gift shop snacks with barcodes and nutrition labels

There are a ton of different snacks available at the gift shops that have the nutritional info, including pretzels, lollipops, cookies and rice krispy treats, taffy, veggie chips (similar to Veggie Straws), ice cream bars, and so much more. I'd recommend double checking nutritional information that pops up on your app's scanner with what's on the packaging or just calculating it yourself, and pay attention to serving sizes! My favorite is the pictured cheddar puffs; they're similar to Goldfish.

grilled corn

While the butter that it's dipped in probably isn't the healthiest option for those trying to avoid a high-fat diet, you can get corn on the cob that is grilled with a curry flavor at the Harambe Fruit Market! Speaking of fruit, check out my Fruit Stand guide!

Edamame

Rejoice, WW Freestyle followers and calorie counters! Edamame is available in both Animal Kingdom (at a kiosk that connects Africa to Asia) and at Epcot's Japan pavilion (look for the window where they sell Kakigori).

fruit bars

A good healthy swap for a Mickey bar is one of the fruit bars available at the ice cream stands. Most stands offer a no added sugar option, too! Regardless, the calorie count on these is usually around 70-120 depending on the flavor, etc.
