Our top 5 healthy eating tips for busy babies on the go!
#1: Stock your kitchen
Eating right is about a MILLION times easier when your home is full of healthy, easy food options. And even if you’re rocking a mini-fridge or have multiple roommates sharing your fridge space, we’ve got you covered. My wishes are:
- Hard boiled eggs
- Chia seeds, almond milk and cocoa powder for chocolate chia seed pudding
- Apples and nut butter
- cottage cheese
- Frozen fruits and vegetables (just as nutritious but usually much cheaper!)
- Raw nuts
#2: Prepare your meals
OMG, when I’m busy, I make a meal saves my. Seriously, it’s crazy how much just an hour from your Sunday to catch up on your food for the week changes things! I put on my favorite playlist, do my hair and pin it up! The Busy Babe Guide has some tips to help you prepare and recipes you can use.
My favorite tip? Start by preparing the meal that’s most difficult for you, whether it’s breakfast because you always snooze your alarm or dinner because you know you won’t feel like cooking after a long day.
#3: Rock it at restaurants
Don’t crash your #goals just because you eat out! The guide has tips you can use at every happy hour, including guilt-free cocktails to order and tips to help you order smart. Here are some you should know:
- Get your dressings and sauces on the side
- Don’t be afraid to ask your server if swaps are possible (bye, bagel!)
- Eat half and take the leftovers home (you just saved yourself from making lunch tomorrow!)
- Order vegetables with your meal, even if it’s a side of them with your meal
#4: Choose multitasking foods
You’re a multi-tasking queen – so your food should be double-edged too! In the Busy Babe Guide, we give you a bunch of food options to help you reach your #goals, whether it’s for exams or looking killer on spring break. Want to get rid of that belly bloat? Here are some of the top ingredient picks from the guide to use in your next meal:
- apple cider vinegar

- Royal
- Rosemary
