Anyone who has hit the road headed for parts unknown has probably experienced the difficulties of making healthy food choices along the way. With roadside diners and fast food joints dominating highway exits, the easiest options are never the best. While smartphones have made it possible to at least look for other choices wherever you happen to pull off the road, still you might not know exactly what the restaurants listed have to offer or if they can provide you with healthy fare. That said, there is at least one app aimed at helping weary travelers to find the healthy and delicious options they crave, regardless of where they happen to be. The Whole Trader Foods application offers you a map that shows you where to find options like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Sprouts that can give you access to fresh and healthy food options along your route.

Now, you might be asking yourself why you should pay a buck (well, 99 cents) for this application when there are so many other restaurant finders and mapping apps out there to help you find food options galore. The problem, for starters, is that most apps of this type don’t necessarily include these shops, which are actually grocery stores. Whole Foods, for its part, has a slew of options for anyone looking to stop in for a bite of freshly prepared fare. Thanks to their sandwich prep area, their pizza cookery, and a sushi counter, all of which take orders on the spot, you and your travel companions can get a fresh and healthy meal on the go. And they also have a killer salad bar and a hot food counter with prepared dishes ready to serve. But Trader Joes and Sprouts don’t offer this option. In any case, none are likely to pop up on mobile apps devoted to mapping restaurant options.

Of course, all three of these preeminently healthy grocery stores can offer provisions for the weary traveler. Although not all of them have the same spread as Whole Foods, each can provide you with fresh and often organic produce, and Sprouts has a deli counter with some prepared foods. So whether you’re scouting for road snacks or you happen to be staying the night at a hotel that has a mini-fridge to store your cold items for breakfast, all three of these healthy outlets can offer you options that allow you to have at least one or two meals that aren’t of the grease-laden variety. And of course, this app remains useful even after you reach your destination.

Once you find a location you’d like to visit, simply tap the pin to get directions, see store hours and share with a caravan following behind you. If you find a location that isn’t listed you can even post an update to help others traveling through the area. When you’re at home it’s easy enough to eat healthy, even if the bulk of your plan consists of using a service like eMeals. But hitting the bricks is a different story altogether. So if you’re looking for an easy way to stay on track when you travel, consider downloading the Whole Trader Foods app for your favorite iDevice. It’s sure to save you some time, not to mention save your digestive system from the barrage of greasy food options you’ll otherwise turn to.
