5 Easy Ways to Stay Healthy as a Busy Mommy

 

My name is Erin (don’t you just love the name?), and I am so excited to be a My Thirty Spot contributor. Thank you so much for having me, Erin!

 

We’re going to be talking health today, ladies.

 

As a new (ish) mother, I understand how it can sometimes be a struggle to find time to eat- never mind eating something that’s actually good for me.  But being mindful of my health has always been a priority for me, especially now that I have a child who needs a healthy mommy, and I’ve figured out how to keep my diet (avoid these 4 diet mistakes) relatively clean and nutritious.

 

 

 

I love making quinoa dishes and roasted vegetables on Sundays.  I portion the food out and store it in containers, so I have some go-to meals to eat throughout the week.

 

 

Anyone who has read my blog even once already knows that I am a massive fan of green smoothies.  I even named my blog after my signature smoothie!  Green smoothies taste amazing, are quick and easy to make, and are loaded with vitamins and nutrients.

 

Whether you cut them up yourself or buy them pre-cut, I highly recommend making a veggie tray each week.  They really come in handy when you’re feeling like a snack, and they usually keep me from reaching for a bag of chips.

 

 

Remember that bag of chips I just mentioned?  Well, I actually try not to keep foods like that in the house at all if I can help it.  After all, if the junk food isn’t there, I can’t eat it!

 

 

I’m never without an emergency snack.  I carry things like walnuts, dried fruit, and my favorite nutrition bars by KIND and Larabar.  Not only do they keep my energy up, but they also keep me from turning into a psychotic, hungry, crazy person.

 

I hope that you found these tips to be helpful.  I’d love to hear your tips and tricks for staying healthy when you have children who keep you busy, so please share away!
