Happy Wednesday!
Let’s face it: making healthy choices can be a struggle. We’re busy people with important things to do, right? (For example, delivering a load on a tight schedule!). Unfortunately, when it comes to food, it’s much easier to choose convenience over nutrition – and it usually tastes better too. But in the long run, it takes a toll on our health.
Ultimately, we’re responsible for our choices (and their consequences). But sometimes, you just need a fresh idea to light the spark and get you started! The Wellness Committee is here to share five nutritious AND delicious food options for your day! Keep scrolling to learn more:
Breakfast: Blueberry-Spinach Protein Smoothie
A quick, easy breakfast choice full of protein! All you need is blueberries, spinach, and a scoop of chocolate-flavored protein powder! Add milk or water to reach desired consistency. You can make this recipe at home and then carry it in your truck fridge for the week! Or, check out this awesome one-cup blender from BlendJet.
