It was SO hot out yesterday! And, it seems like this weekend isn’t going to be ANY better.
I was on-the-go all day long, so I needed some healthy and portable to-go snacks.
I felt like heading out for a run in the morning, but once I stepped outside I knew the air-conditioned gym would be a better idea. 🙂
Before I left, I mixed up a delicious concoction of Lemon-Lime Amazing Grass + Lemon Lime O.N.E. Coconut Water + a splash of water.
I added 1 scoop of the Amazing Grass to my shaker and filled it up with 6 oz. coconut water + 2 oz. water.
It was good! Very lime-y.
I also grabbed a Heaven GloBar. I loved this flavor because of all of the coconutty flavor!
This new Amazing Grass makes me feel great. It leaves me feeling energized without drinking caffeine. I love it. And, mixed with this new Lemon Lime Coconut Water from O.N.E. made it taste even better!
I received a few samples of their new coconut water flavors from O.N.E., including this Lemon Lime. They came out with 3 Active flavors that contain coconut water along with a mix of natural energizers that help replenish you before, during and after a workout. My initial thought about the Lemon Lime was that it tasted too sweet, but mixed with a little water before my workout, it tasted great. After my workout, the sweetness was perfect!
Workout
I got to the gym and started with a 5 minute warm-up walk on the treadmill, then hit the weights circuit style:
(3 sets of each)
- 21’s
- squats with overhead press
- triceps kickbacks
- deadlift with upright row
- chest press
- triceps extension
Then, I ran 5 miles on the treadmill and did a 10 minute cool-down walk.
It felt great!
Once home, I craved a smoothie – a Chocolate Cherry Smoothie!
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- 2 tbsp vanilla hemp protein powder
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp cacao
- 4 oz banana yogurt
- 1 cup filtered water
Poured into a to-go mug to bring with my while running errands. YUMMY!
Once I made it home, it was time to make our way down to NYC for the weekend. I wasn’t ready for lunch yet and I knew we would be having dinner upon arrival, so I packed a few road trip snacks.
Avocados travel very easily.
Just cut it in half and remove the pit before packing. Bring along some spices to sprinkle on it and pack a spoon! Then, enjoy on the road.
Homemade juice also travels easy. Just make your juice (and clean the juicer before leaving!) and pour it into a glass smoothie cup for easy travel. This way you can throw it in a bag and not worry about it spilling all over.
In the juice:
- 5-6 celery stalks
- handful carrot tops
- 4 small carrots
- 1 knob ginger
- 2 small apples
- 2 small beets
Deliciousness. 🙂
I also packed a container of pre-cooked lentils and a fork.
All together – juice, avocado, lentils – this made a decent meal and kept me occupied on our drive.
Off to explore, have a great weekend!
