A lot of our clients ask us what they should eat when they're so busy. How do I eat healthy when I have no time? With back-to-back clients, traveling to different buildings, meetings, and life in general we're super busy too so we get it! We appreciate you thinking we have it together - but we're also human and have similar struggles. When am I going to eat? Where am I going to fit in a few minutes to have a healthy snack/meal? A lot of times we don't have time to sit down and eat a meal during the workday. So we rely on healthy, quick snacks to power us through our day. We wanted to share some of these with you to inspire you and give you the tools you need to stay alert, focused, and energized even on your busiest days!
