FEED FOR SUCCESS. We are committed to ensuring that you provide your body with optimal nourishment. Did you know that approximately 70% of the calories you consume are utilized by your brain? The foods you eat directly fuel your brain's functioning. In light of this, it's time to shift our focus towards what we can add to our diet rather than what we should subtract. Here are some foods that hold significant importance based on specific contexts such as timing, purpose, and situation. Pre-workout foods - Consider options like a 100% fruit bar or dried fruit, apple sauce packets, electrolyte-enhanced beverages, a combination of honey and rice cake, and a handful of grapes, cherries, or watermelon. Protein-packed snack ideas - Pair apple slices with almonds, enjoy hard-boiled eggs alongside fruit, savor deli turkey with cucumbers, embrace string cheese as a versatile option, combine protein bars or RX bars with peanut butter, relish a greek yogurt parfait with oats and milk, and explore the goodness of chickpeas and lentils with hummus and bell peppers. Sustaining energy throughout the workday - Ensure your diet consists of ample protein, hydration, whole grains, healthy fats, fiber, and a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables. The KEY - Plan ahead and have your meals and snacks ready to go. Prepare for success and seize the opportunity to thrive. By incorporating these food choices and adopting a proactive mindset, you set yourself up for optimal well-being, peak performance, and daily WINS.

🤔Commonly Asked Question: "Do I have to give up snacking if I want to reach my health goals?" The answer is: "NO" The secret? Planning ahead! The goal is to have a filling and optimal protein meal to reduce the need to snack. I encourage three solid meals and one protein-focused snack if needed. Continuous noshing through the day causes our blood sugar to rise and fall leading to constant cravings. Our gut and blood sugar need rest. Here's the reality: 🔸 You WILL sometimes crave a snack between meals. 🔸 It's WAY EASIER to make a snack choice that supports your goals if you have something prepared to munch on. So how do you balance it all? Swap high-calorie, high-sugar, high-sodium, and processed snacks with options that are based on whole foods — and that are nutritious and filling. 🍎🥜 It's not just about swapping your cookies for cucumbers… but also finding snacks that pack a nutrient punch. A few ideas: pair your fave protein with seaweed strips, roasted chickpeas, low sugar jerky, and/or 1 ounce (28 grams) of high-quality dark chocolate AND leftover protein is also a PERFECT snack. FACT: It can take a while to change your snack habits, in part because your tastebuds may be used to ultra-processed foods. Hang in there. The payoffs in your energy and results are SO WORTH IT. What is your current healthy snack obsession?! Let's get some inspiration going 👇💬

Don’t you love a list? We do… especially if it cuts through the hype and makes my life EASY. That’s why we borrowed this list from the American Heart Association for you. It outlines 10 simple ways to streamline what you eat to help keep your heart (and entire body!) healthy, fit, and strong. And the best part? These tips will also help move you closer to your health/fitness goals. You’ll also see they aren’t focused on deprivation OR perfection — instead, it’s all about eating delicious, healthy, and nutrient-packed food! 10 Ways to Show Your Heart Some Love (with FOOD!) Balance calories with physical activity — don’t eat more food than you can burn off Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables — choose lots of colorful produce When you eat grains, make sure they are whole (not processed) — read those labels! Include healthy protein sources at every meal Use liquid non-tropical plant oils like avocado and olive oil Eat minimally processed foods — focus on “real” whole foods as much as you can Avoid added sugars — they’re just empty calories that drain your energy and your health, plus they’re linked with weight gain Cut back on salt — according to the FDA, 90% of us (!!!) eat too much sodium… aim for less than 2,300 mg a day (about 1 teaspoon) Limit alcohol (or avoid it!) Put this list on repeat for all your meals and snacks

So, you know those moments when you just want a little something? We all have them, and hey, that's perfectly okay! I like to look at it this way: about 80%-90% of the time, I lean towards foods that pack a punch in the nutrients department. The rest of the time? I enjoy whatever I'm craving. It's not about strict rules; it's about making choices that feel good. Every now and then, before reaching for a snack, I pause and think, "Could I mix it up with something that's both tasty and gives me a boost?" It's not a 'no' to treats, but a 'heck yes' to variety and maybe trying something new. Have you got a sweet tooth? Dark chocolate with almonds is my favourite! Or do you fancy something savoury? Maybe some cheese and whole-grain crackers? It's your call, and there's no wrong answer. The main thing is that we're all doing our best, and a little of what you fancy is part of a happy, balanced life. 👇 Have a favourite snack that hits the spot and gives you a little nutritional high-five?
