Wellness Wednesdays: Hello from Uruguay & World’s Healthiest Oatmeal
Hola from Punta Del Este, Uruguay!
(You can read about this beautiful city and the Formula E Race I’m attending here)
But we’re not interested in race cars 🙂 lets talk food!
Making time to have a healthy breakfast can be tough, especially during the holidays and while traveling. I mean, you can only eat like this for one or two days before feeling like a complete log.
But traveling with and keeping on hand “staple power foods” and knowing what to keep in your hotel room and home pantry can make all the difference between feeling exhausted or energized by noon!
We just RAN 10Ks yesterday along the water which I had no idea I was even physically capable of doing – I’m telling you, it’s the chia seeds man, they’re magic 😉
Below I’ve included every ingredient and it’s MEDICINAL and NUTRITIONAL information- they’re LOADED with HEALTH BENEFITS!
– I travel with a baggie of mixed Chia Seeds, Hemp Hearts, Cinnamon and Vanilla Powder
– Individual nut butters are great too
– Pick up oats, hearty bread, whole fruit and mixed nuts/raisins from your local grocery store
