Running at a frenzied pace.
Out the door.
In the car.

Drop 1 at preschool.

How about you?
Home, to work, to the gym, to the dry cleaner then back home again? In between all the GOING and DOING we can get a little hungry. So what do we eat when we’re on the go? How do you stick to your commitment to eat better when short on time or in a hurry? How do you prevent from falling into the quick and easy junk food trap?
How do you not succumb to pulling into the drivethrough?
What the formula to ensure healthy eating on the go? By always keep some healthy snacks on hand, that’s how you do it.
At a minimum I keep snack sized ziplock bags and dried fruit in the car.
Healthy Eating On The Go:
~Grapes (wash & dry them as soon as you get them home from the grocery and store them in snack sized ziplock bags
~bananas
~Clementine oranges
~Apples & Almond Butter
(Not a prize winning photo but real time eating on the go from my passenger seat)
~Nuts
~Popcorn
~carrot sticks
~Smoothie/Juice made the day before
~Water (sometimes we confuse hunger for thirst to this is my 1st go to)
~Raw Revolution Bars (I buy these rarely to have on hand in a pinch)
As I often say, Proper Preparation Prevents Pitfalls. It is the first week of February. If you made some health goals for this year, stick with them. If you’ve fallen down while trying, that’s ok. Pick yourself up and try again. It’s one small decision at a time that secures the victory. Now go and prepare those healthy snacks and throw them in your bag so you’ll be prepared the next time hunger strikes.
Tell me some of your tips for healthy eating when you’re on the go.
As always, it is my prayer that you’ve been Inspired To Live Fully!
