Come on now, we have like ALL heard it…

YOU MUST EAT PROTEIN WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF WORKING OUT!

And guess what dollfaces??? As annoying as it may sound- or as impossible as it might sound it is SUPER important to your recovery and your body being able to KEEP UP with more workouts ALL week long! So importantly, you should eat a little something about an hour before your workout that has a little bit of carbs to give you some energy for your workout but AFTER you need PROTEIN!

And unless you are Chad from this past season of The Bachelorette you probably aren’t walking around with plates of meats or biting into a sweet potato while you catch up on emails. So I have created a little list of perfect,

HEALTHY GIRL ON THE GO AFTER WORKOUT SNACKS

Let’s start like SUPER simple…

Boiled Eggs

I’m not gunna lie MORE times than not this is my GO-TO snack if I am doing a later afternoon workout- because it keeps me full until dinner! Oh, and OBVI ALL THE LEMON PEPPER and Tabasco as you please 😉

Turkey Bacon, Heirloom Tomato, & Avocado

I think this is my favorite because it reminds me of a BLT, and heirloom tomato’s are just FANCY and SO DANG GOOD. And I mean- PERSONALLY, I think this tastes even better cold for some reason making it ZEE BEST on-the-go snack.

Salmon, Avocado, & Lemon BOWL

A little salmon-canned or fresh, 1/2 an avocado, 1/2 a lemon, Mrs. Dash Seasoning- and mix it ALL up. The perfect little on-the-go BOWL and all you need is a fork OH- and maybe a little Tabasco. If you workout in the evenings this is even more perfect because can ALSO double as dinner if you add some fresh veggies, or a good almond flour tortilla!

Darlings, you know the importance I place on eating fresh, nutrient rich food BUT when in a rush grabbing a good protein shake or protein bar is BETTER than not eating and letting your body recover properly!! So eat up, try planning ahead for those Healthy Girl On The Go SNACKS, or know where you can make pit stops to grab some on those CRAZY DAYS!

Now, for all my DENVER GALS this weekend the new FABLETICS store opens in Cherry Creek and it’s AMAZING!! AND they are giving leggings to the FIRST 50 people!!

I recently became a fan of Fabletics and I don’t think this obsession is going anywhere. Their leggins are SO flattering (and all high waisted) and have the BEST patterns and colors! But I think my favorite thing is all of their street style options- this chambray skirt is from them and I can’t stop getting compliments!

Healthy Girls On The Go GOTTA Look CUTE 😉

Shop This Look:

Alright loves, now I gotta go squeeze in a workout before the day gets crazy- let me know what other good protein on-the-go snack ideas you have, or if you end up going to the Fabletics event!!

Cheers, Darlings!

Oh Hey there BEACHY BABES, how is Summer time treating you?! I am like in freakout mode that Fourth of July has already came and gone, like holy HECK we are in JULY…

Well no time like the present to be keeping up with those bikini bods- we all know that I like to have me some splurges but I like 80% of the time to keep myself in check, and SNACKING is honestly my secret- I let myself snack so I don’t need to eat as large of meals.

I also know that sometimes people don’t know HOW to snack, when I say snack I don’t mean movie theater butter popcorn, haha. So here is a little list of my LATEST favorite things to snack on- oh, and be sure to leave what your favorite snacks are in the comments I LOVE having new ideas!

Wild Things Skinny Dipped Almonds:

These little suckers are ADDICTING- in all the right ways! Wild Things are perfect for those sweet tooth moments or just when you are racing around town and need something to hold you over. They are SKINNY DIPPED in a layer of dark chocolate & then finished with a little pure cocoa, espresso, or raspberry depending on what flavor you have! I typically have this as my snack around 3 (kinda my in between of lunch and dinner) or for a little late night snack when I need something sweet. SHOP these little guys HERE.

Energy Bites:

If any of you hotties are familiar with my first Healthy Girl On The Go posts than you know these things are LIFE. Energy bites take like 5 minutes to make, you honestly probably even have ALL the ingredients in your cabinets now, and they are SO TASTY you forget it’s a HEALTHY snack. I typically eat mine before a workout because they are a GREAT source of energy or- this is TMI but, those awful PERIOD weeks I have one of these midday for a PICK-ME-UP. Check out THIS post for full recipe!

Watermelon/ just yummy FRESH fruit:

YOU GUYS IT’S SUMMER AKA IF YOU HAVE NOT CONSUMED AN ENTIRE WATERMELON OR PINEAPPLE I AM JUDGING YOU!!! Think fresh fruit when hitting the grocery store (of course veggies too- but sometimes that little sweetness of fruit is just what your bod needs!) I love grabbing Honey crisp apples, bananas, watermelon, and pineapple to just have to snack on through the week. Of course, typically I don’t eat a WHOLE pineapple in a single sitting haha, I try and do one fruit type of snack a day!

Darlings, I hope this inspired your grocery shopping list, because I know it made me hungry for my snackies today…haha I’m such a 3 year old sometimes. ANYWAYS, I love you all and I am sending prayers that today you FEEL BOMB DOT COM in your skin, because Jesus created you GORGEOUSLY.

on that note…

Cheers, Darlings!
