Affordable Healthy Meals On The Go


 

 Affordable Healthy Meals On The Go

We’re back in school. You may be running around trying to make it on time. How do you feed your kids healthy meals and snacks without it costing a fortune?

Here’s some ideas that are quick, easy, and convenient.

Planning does help and it usually Saves you Time and Money!

Here’s what Drew and I do. No cook meal.

We bought a rotisserie chicken ($10 for an already cooked organic chicken at Abby’s Health and Nutrition), hummus and guacamole ($4 each at Wal-Mart) and baby carrots and mini cucumbers and celery sticks ($2-4 at Wal-Mart), and apples and oranges (I like Fuji organic apples because they’re sweet, $6 a bag).  

For more protein, we also bought hard-boiled eggs (2 for $2). 

We went shopping at Wal-Mart and kept the food in a cooler.

*Total cost $44 for several days’ worth of food. Organic, healthy, and simple.

The Plan

Chicken for dinner

Snack (before and after Krav) 2 eggs, carrots, and cucumbers with hummus and/or guacamole, and an apple and orange

Dinner-Chicken with vegetables and fruit for dessert. I also like chicken with guac and hummus.

Water to drink (no cost, I fill my water bottles for the week to save time).

*If you need flavor or an added boost, can add fruit i.e. lemon, or mint or EmergenC, or use seltzer water or coconut water.

We turn the leftovers into chicken salad and chicken soup, which can sometimes last us for the rest of the week.

Organic beans and brown rice are also a nice option at 18 cents a meal ($ 0.18).

Thanks, Lynn, for suggesting this topic!

Can Plug-ins Make YOU Sick and Fat?

  Can Fragrances (e.g. perfumes, colognes, air fresheners)  Make YOU SICK & FAT? Did you know the scent within many perfumes and colognes along with plug-ins (and many other household and beauty products have chemical fragrances or parfums in their ingredients i.e., Febreze, Lysol, Clorox Bleach, Dawn, Tide, Irish Spring, Fabuloso etc) which contain many harmful chemicals. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org), many of the chemicals in these synthetic fragrances contain phthalates, which can disrupt hormones, worsen asthma, allergies, lead to headaches, fatigue, weight gain (as these chemicals get stored in the fat), weaken the immune system, and even possibly cause cancer. What to do?   Use natural products.  For not much more money, you can get products from Seventh Generation (SeventhGeneration.com), Ecos (ecos.com) etc. that don’t contain many of these harmful chemicals. These ecofriendly products can smell nice and be just as effective at eliminati

How to Relieve Pain Long Term & Naturally

Image
  How to Relieve Pain Long Term & Naturally Our body is connected (as you know!), but when we see a traditional doc, they may only focus on the specific body part for which you are having a problem. For example, when I saw my neurosurgeon for neck pain, they only looked at my neck. I have a history of many ankle sprains. Once I addressed strengthening my ankles, which I never thought to do because they didn't hurt, my neck pain improved. The chiropractor explained my "weak ankles likely turned in my hips and shoulders, which likely affected my neck". Once I strengthened my ankles and stretched my hips and shoulders more, my neck pain improved (without the surgery). I've seen many patients with knee pain where the cause of the their pain was related to tight hips or problems with their feet (which they told me was never addressed before). The great part is they are improving and feeling better and are not taking their pain medicines any longer (e.g. T
