Meal Plans for working moms

Meal Plans for working moms

I wanted to make a blog post that was more specific to the working mom.  As I run on line challenge groups to help other moms with meal planning and staying motivated I had to ask their advice on what works best to pack and eat on the go while at work.  These ladies are manly nurses, teachers, and traditional jobs.  So as my business is home based and my lunch room is one flight of steps away packing a lunch is not something I typically do on a work day.  So for some of these ladies having access to a microwave was something they had but for most that is not the case.

Fueling your body every 2 to 3 hours

So with fueling your body every 2 to 3 hours to keep your metabolism burning these ladies need easy quick snacks to eat while working.  I did a lot of research on successful fit people when I set out to get healthy and what I found is that they eat all the time.  With that being said high nutrition meals that your body will burn off.

Let have fun while eating healthy away from home.  I always thing presentation is everything so if your lunch is in a fun lunch box or fun containers your going to be excited when you open it up.

Healthy lunch on the go



Most mom's in this challenge group explained that shakeology was for breakfast and a must!!  For moms on the go being able to make shakeology and be out the door in 2 minutes is so helpful in their success to live a more healthier life. 

What are your go to lunches to pack while staying on track?
