The other day in one of our live calls, Rock Your Life member Shakara D. mentioned how tough it was to stay on track with her nutrition while she and her family were in the middle of moving into a new home.

As someone who has moved quite a few times myself, I could totally relate to what she was saying, and so could lots of other Rockstars.

So I set out to write down all of my top resources in one place because….

…it’s not just moving that knocks us off our game.

Think business travel…busy seasons…re-adjusting to school schedules…

….there are so many things that can throw a wrench in even our best-laid eating plans.

That’s why I created this Healthy Eating Shortcuts Guide, full of super-handy, super-helpful time-saving tips, tools and shortcuts for keeping your nutrition game strong when life starts throwing you curve balls.

Please add to it in the comments below, and share this post – I’d love to learn your resources and ideas too!

Healthy Shortcuts for Food Delivery

When life gets extra hectic, it can be incredibly helpful to take advantage of home delivery services that will bring food right to your door. Here are some of my favorite shortcuts for food delivery.

Nationwide Meal Delivery: Trifecta

Too busy to cook? Get organic healthy meals delivered from Trifecta! I know you see me doing my food prep on the weekend in my instagram stories, and you know that healthy eating is one of my top priorities – but sometimes things get so busy, even I need help with eating whole food meals.

Trifecta has so many different options to choose from, and I think it’s worth checking out to see for yourself if you’ve ever thought about trying a meal service.

Healthy Shortcuts for Protein Bars

When time allows, I love making my own healthy protein snacks like Gluten-free Pumpkin Muffins or Superfood Chocolate Protein Energy Bars. But when that’s not an easy option, these pre-packaged protein bars offer smart, delicious alternatives.

I love these simple-yet-delicious bars because they’re made with real food and organic ingredients. You can tell it’s a good one when it doesn’t last on the shelf for 3 years because of all the preservatives lol. This one you’ll want to keep refrigerated.

Rise Bars

Most of the Rise Bars only have 3 whole food ingredients – and they’re also super yummy! I love their quality and simplicity – and of course the taste!

Rx Bars

These “No B.S.” bars really live up to their claim – minimal, high-quality ingredients. They use egg white protein, which is a great option if you can’t do whey.

Epic Bars

Craving a savory protein-rich snack? With choices like Turkey, Beef, and Bison, these Epic Bars are perfect on-the-go servings of protein for times when you want to sidestep the sweet.
