Mission: Choices on the Go

We traveled this past week as a family, in a car, across the country.  Believe it or not we still love each other, had NO fighting, minimal whining and lots of laughing.  Even the dog came with us!

I firmly believe that one of the reasons we all stayed so cheerful is that we didn’t let our nutrition slide (too much).  We weren’t perfect.  We enjoyed wedding cake.  We went out to the local ice cream shack.  Ate too many carbs.  Should have had more veggies.  But overall we had a good time, avoided many food dyes, artificial sugars and didn’t need to stop at any drive thrus!

Here are two of our favorite snacks that kept us going through the long week:

Go Picnics are similar to a Lunchable, but without the chemicals, dyes and artificial “stuff”. The kids enjoyed the tattoos that came in the box too.

Hemp Bars satisfy the whole family with a great texture and aren’t messy like other bars. Did you know many mainstream granola bars have aspartame – we avoid aspartame whenever possible!
