Happy Thanksgiving Survival Kit
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK!
Today I’m sharing a few helpful hacks to help your Thanksgiving feel FUN and healthy. Try one or all of them…
✨ENERGIZING BREAKFAST
Make a batch of Pumpkin French Toast Muffins. Just 6 simple ingredients and 10g protein each. Eat them as-is or pair them with an egg scramble or Greek yogurt for extra protein. Starting the day with a satisfying breakfast = happy energy, appetite, and mood!
✨JOY WORKOUT
Got 8.5 minutes? Try this New York Times JOY WORKOUT. Definitely puts a smile on your face and boosts those fitness endorphins. I also enjoy the quick and free home workouts from FitOn.
✨MANTRA
This is the most powerful holiday mantra: “Graze Nothing, Enjoy Everything.” It’s the best mindset to prioritize health AND actually enjoy your favorite foods, without guilt. Read more HERE.
✨MOCKTAIL
If you are trying to drink less this holiday (same!), my go-to mocktail is a POM SOUR: sparkling water + shot of 100% pomegranate juice + splash of apple cider vinegar. Watch me make it HERE.
✨DIGESTION TEA
My favorite host gift AND best thing to have after dinner is digestion-friendly tea! The 3 best for digestion are peppermint, ginger, and fennel tea. Brew a cup to enjoy with dessert to settle your stomach and help you savor your sweet treat.
✨GRATITUDE
Before bed, I use the “365 Gratitude” app (for Apple and Android) to jot down my daily gratitudes. Having a daily gratitude practice rewires your brain to automatically see more of the good things in life.
Thanks for being a loyal reader of the Nutrition WOW!
Grateful for you,
