Humana Healthier Choices & Taste of Chicago GIVEAWAY
Are you visiting the Taste of Chicago this year? Check out Humana Healthier Choices!
One of my favorite Chicago festivals is attending the Taste! Now that summer is here to stay in the windy city, I have to be careful and watch my calories. I was happy to find out that Humana had a Healthier choice option program this year at the 2014 Taste of Chicago. Now that I know there are healthier choices at the Taste, this will keep me on the road of healthy eating.
For the seventh consecutive year, Humana Healthier Choices provide a listing of healthy appetizers, entrees and desserts available at the Taste! This year boasts the largest listing yet – 52 foods from 29 Chicago restaurants that meet calorie, sodium and saturated fat nutritional criteria, reviewed by a panel of Chicago-area diet and nutrition experts. These healthful choices represent more than 20 percent of the total Taste offerings.
The healthy food option can once again be found in the Humana Healthier Choices Passport Guide, which allows Taste-goers to collect stamps by participating in wellness activities or sampling Humana Healthier Choice foods for a chance to win prizes, such as restaurant gift cards. The Humana Healthier Choices Passport Guide is available for free and can be picked up during the festival at the Humana tent – on Columbus Drive (between Jackson Boulevard and Buckingham Fountain) in Grant Park. Just look for the green apple!
To promote healthy activities at the Taste of Chicago, 93XRT will host a Power Hour from noon to 1 p.m. each day throughout the five-day event at the Humana Tent. 93XRT radio personalities will be on site to challenge consumers to “get off the couch” and participate in a Wii game, which will account for a Humana Healthier Choices Passport Guide stamp.
Want to try some of those healthier options too? One of my lucky readers will be able to win 24 tickets to be used at the 2014 Taste of Chicago. The giveaway ends 7pm (Central time) Wednesday July 9th! The winner must be able to pick up tickets in person from July 9-11 during 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Humana Tent! Want to win? Comment on this blog post or this Instagram post and tell me your favorite Chicago hotspot for veggie dishes?

Sweet Tomatoes
That’s easy! My favorite Chicago hotpot for veggie dishes is Grace African Restaurant! They serve a veggie dish of plantains, beans, tomatoes, onions and peppers coated in palm oil! You can even order it over coconut rice!
I love this! I never knew there were actual healthy options at Taste! I’ll definitely have to check this out next year 🙂 Great post!
Definitely check them out next year Carrie!
seems like i missed out this year, should have gone… all those crowds are kinda not welcoming…
Would have to be Chowpatti as it’s so close to home
Green City Market because I like my veggies raw sometimes! Nothing better than straight from the farmer!
