1. Stay Hydrated.
If you're looking for a way to up your hydration game, you should definitely try incorporating cold brewed teas into your routine. I personally love the mint and lemon and hibiscus tea options from David's Tea - they have such a great selection! And if you're someone who works up a sweat in the heat, adding a pinch of Himalayan salt to your water and a squeeze of lemon can provide an electrolyte boost. So next time you're feeling thirsty, give these tips a try and see how they work for you!
2.It's Smoothie Season.
Have you ever thought about eating seasonally? It's really important as our bodies naturally crave different foods depending on the season. During Fall and Winter, we tend to crave more warming and heavy meals, like stews and root vegetables. But now that Spring is here, our bodies naturally crave lighter, more water-rich foods. That's why I've been adding smoothies and smoothie bowls to my breakfast rotation. They're a great way to include antioxidant-rich fruits like berries, and a handful or two of leafy greens like baby spinach. And if you're in the mood for a sweet treat after dinner, try blending up some frozen berries or banana with a dash of almond milk for a delicious sorbet. You can even add cocoa powder or any other ingredients you like for extra flavor. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
3.Take advantage of BBQ Season!
Have you ever thought about using the BBQ to batch prep your meals for the week? It's so convenient! I like to throw on some marinated chicken and grill up some veggies like peppers, zucchini, asparagus, and eggplant. It's a great way to get a variety of healthy foods in one meal, and it saves me so much time during the week. Plus, everything tastes better when it's cooked on the BBQ, right? So next time you're looking to meal prep, give it a try and see how it works for you.
