1. Family walks – even if it’s only for a few minutes, make it part of your nightly routine! Even if you have to put the kid’s jammies on before your walk and bring along the dog.
2. Have organic cereal and or granola and keep them in sandwich bags so I can easily grab one and go. Cereal and granola are also great to have handy make parfaits or smoothies bowls (they can also easily be mixed with raisins for a quick trail-like-mix that we all love).
3. Stick to your favorite meals and flavors, but swap out the unnecessary carbs and calories by adding quinoa, lentils, or other whole grain products that have the same consistency. Looking for inspiration? Here’s a delicious lentil dish that’s perfect for a meatless dinner.
4. New water bottles (we own a few of these water bottles) for the whole family! Make drinking water into a friendly family challenge. Use the free printable below to keep track of who is drinking the recommended amount of 8 glasses a day and provide a small prize for those who drink it!
5. Get active in style! New workout gear always motivates to get up and workout! A cute pair of leggings (these leggings are my favorite because they look like denim but maintain the comfort of leggings) and shorts can go from the gym to lunch!
