Not a Total (Spring) Break
If you're like many of our clients, you're headed away on spring vacations. Whether you're off to the ski slopes, a relaxing beach, or opting for a staycation, we want to be sure your trip isn't a total break from Foodtraining. Sometimes a snack stash or food journal is just enough to keep you centered.

Better Than Room Service: Superfood Cereal
Room service has nothing on Vigilant Eats new Superfood Cereal. This is the king of oatmeal with goji berries and cacao (why not have chocolate in the morning?). It's organic, gluten-free, raw, and vegan. Superfood Cereal is also super-convenient - just unfold the enclosed spoon, add water or almond milk, and you're set. Pancakes-shmancakes.

Happier Happy Hour: 479° Organic Popcorn
You deserve that après-ski drink but we don't want it turning into an après-ski app-fest. We have a very satisfying solution; grab a bag of 479° Organic Black Truffle and White Cheddar popcorn. Each individual pouch has only 70 calories, insane flavor and you can eat the whole bag. 479° is also the perfect staycation movie snack.

Ski Jacket Snag: The Picky Bar
You probably know we're fans of keeping snacks on us, and skiing is no exception. Picky Bars are made of nuts, fruit and dark chocolate chips and they're made by and for athletes so they're great for exercise. Picky Bars are gluten free, dairy free, and less than 200 calories. The perfect pick me up allowing you to skip the crowds in the lodge.

Poolside Drink: EBOOST
You didn't spend all winter in Figure 4 classes just to drown your bikini bod in a bunch of pina coladas. We're into BYO drinks and this kind you can bring through airport security. EBOOST packets contain an all-natural blend of green tea extract and loads of vitamins. Think a metabolism boosting, better ingredient version of Crystal Light. Mix it with water and you have yourself a super healthy energy and immunity-boosting drink. It wasn't our idea, but clients have told us they spike it... just saying.

Turndown Treat: Glow Cookies
Don't let your vacation turn into one big nutrition "F. it". First, we suggest having the hotel clear the mini bar and skipping the mint/cookie/praline (Windsor Court New Orleans) left on your pillow at turndown (meanies). Then we recommend keeping a stash of Glow Cookies
on hand. These cookies are the perfect sweet tooth satisfier - you would never guess they were made from fava beans. These high fiber, gluten-free cookies come in snickerdoodle and gingersnap.
