Pack That Cooler! The key to eating healthy throughout the day, for me, is my cooler. Every morning I pack it with the clean eats I prepared on Sunday. With my cooler, I have no reason to hit a drive through. No excuses to not eat clean. And let's face it... it's so much easier! :-)
In the examples below, the coolers are based on my schedule - I have breakfast
through snack 2 at work, then dinner and snack 3 are at home. This is what I
would pack in the cooler, based on the menu we've been using...
