10 Healthy US Airport Food Finds That Won’t Disappoint You—We Promise!

While it’s European airports that get all the credit for being health-centric, healthy US airport food is getting better by the day. Ultimately, airport terminals are not known for their healthy food options. As a result, we like to find healthy foods that make our mouths water.

After all, there are a whole group of governing bodies that actually care about healthy airport food. For example, dietitians with the nonprofit Physicians Committee provide a healthy eating guide to help travelers navigate food courts at 24 of the nation’s busiest airports. So, who says healthy US airport food doesn’t exist?! Not us.

In fact, earlier this year we attended The Moodie Davitt Airport FAB Awards in Toronto. Arguably, they are the best food and beverage awards in the airport industry. They collectively represent a fascinating snapshot of travel-related food & beverage—in terms of trends, tastes, and consumer preferences.

Lucky for us, we had the opportunity to meet an incredible selection of farm-to-table heroes (such as Marquette) and airport food concessions like OTG, Tastes On The Fly, Booster Juice and more during the Airport FAB conference.

Here are this week’s finds for healthy US airport food that doesn’t disappoint!

As a result, we are constantly on the lookout for healthy US airport food finds. If you come across any healthy airport food finds, make sure to tag us on social media! We’d love to see more of what’s out there.
