Luckily, Tim Hortons is far more than donuts and coffee these days. They have sandwiches and wraps which can easily satisfy the young ones. Try to steer your kids away from that Ice Cap they want and skip the donuts. If the kids want a bite of something sweet, a Timbit will do. Less calories, less sugar.
Sandwiches are good. The whole wheat option for breads is ideal, but don't get the soups. They're really high in sodium.
Order
The toasted chicken club is a good choice. It's tasty and kids seem to love it. Add an apply juice and just 3 honey-dipped Timbits and you only have 680 calories. For a sandwich and a handful of tiny donuts, that's a really good number. And the kids will happily eat it up.
Don't Order
Again, skip that Ice Cap. If you get an Ice Cap, a chocolate chunk cookie, and a BLT sandwich, you're up to 900 calories and over 1100 mg of sodium. There's also 17 g of saturated fat. That's a lot of salt and fat and they won't be any happier with the meal.
