This post is inspired by my recent family medical emergency and are the exact meals I used to keep my highly stressed and sleep deprived brain and body functional as I cared for my daughter during her hospital stay.(Update: She is now fully recovered!!!)
Pack 2 scoops of protein powder and an apple or banana. Simply mix the protein powder in water, a coffee, or other preferred beverage while out and about. Add in a whole piece of fruit for convenience, fiber, and increased satiety. Very quick and easy to pack when you are rushing out the door.
Make a “yummy bowl.” This yogurt and fruit bowl is my favorite on the go option! (In my 2nd cookbook I call it the Overnight Dessert Recovery Bowl because I generally make it for my evening dessert) For ease at my house, I refer to it as my “yummy bowl”. It’s super easy to make and bring in a cooler. See below for a screen shot of the full recipe direct from my e cookbook.
Buy the best high protein options you can find. Sometimes we don’t have time to pack or an emergency occurs and there is no other choice. Read labels and opt for prepared foods that are high in protein and lower in fat such as greek yogurt, a turkey sandwich wrap, and Fair Life Core Power high protein milk. Add in a piece of whole fruit for more low calorie volume and satiety instead of opting for a side of chips or a cookie.
You have choices. Eating like crap never helps you feel better.
Whatever the day brings you can make the choice that aligns you with your long term goals and helps you feel your best.
Prioritize your health and well being and let the excuse of being “too busy” go.
Getting and staying fit is always worth the effort.
