Easy On the Go Snacks and Workouts!
Back to School life is in full swing at the Entenmann house! We are BUSY, and thriving with routine. I often forget after a busy summer, how good it feels to get back to our schedule for both me and the kids. Paisley and Jack are loving school, and sweet Brooks is getting some much needed one on one time too! I love the days I get to volunteer in the classroom for a short bit, but it makes the days feel a little chaotic bouncing from one thing to the next. We have activities many days after school, so I often feel rushed to grab a healthy snack for me and the kids to take on the go. Any one else feel the same?!
I also like to start the week out with a plan for our family meals! I like SIMPLE and QUICK meals that I can throw together that are full of healthy, whole food nutrition for the whole fam. I’d love to share one of my weekly meal plans with you!
Today I wanted to share some of my favorite easy snacks and on the go workouts that you can do at the park while your kids play, or after the morning school drop off with some girlfriends! They are also great choices if you are traveling for sports, work, or fun too!
I often find myself out running around all day, so I love to keep these snacks on hand! Hitting the drive through for an Almond Milk Latte always feels like a treat too! I love to pair jerky with nuts on low carb day and popcorn, dried fruit and hummus with pretzels for a regular macro day!
When we are busy or have had a late night, and I don’t get up early enough to get my workout in before the day starts, I like to do these quick circuits to move my body without needing a gym or even my phone to stream a workout! Here are a few of my favorites!
SPRINT CIRCUIT: 20 seconds sprints + 40 seconds walking/jogging and repeat for 20 minutes! You can do this ANYWHERE and bonus if you are pushing a stroller-ha!
