Enjoying a McDonald's Happy Meal is one of the great childhood memories for many of us, because not only did it come in that awesome box, not only was it full of food just for us, it also contained an awesome toy. Over the years, McDonald's has taken pains to offer healthy options, especially for kids, and today happy meals come with the option of apple slices, a clementine, or low-fat strawberry yogurt as well as fries. Sodas are no longer a part of the Happy Meal; drink options now include fat-free chocolate milk, low-fat white milk, or apple juice. Looking for the healthiest options?
