Cooperation in Providing Nutritional Information: Very helpful.
Health Score: (**3/4)
Last year JetBlue started to offer more than just snacks, but only on longer flights. The problem is that they still need to add some healthier real meals and snack options. The individually packaged snacks are portion-controlled; however, most are lacking in any real nutritional value. And the worst part is that they no longer sell nuts—which were the most nutrient-dense offering they had.
Best Bets:
Not much in the snack area to eat other than the Quaker Multigrain Fiber Crisps. They are made with whole-grain oats—nice touch. Try to stick with no more than one snack. Just because they are free and they let you take more than one doesn't mean you have to take them, especially if you're not hungry.
In terms of the meal boxes, the Shape Up is the clear winner if you're thinking of this as a meal. It has 8 grams of fiber and only 2 grams of unhealthy saturated fat. While the Cheer Up is low in calories, I'm not sure it will do the trick as a meal. However, if you're just looking for a snack and you share it with someone, you're only at 130 calories.
