I’ve partnered with Green Giant, Optimum Nutrition, vitafusion and L’il Critters as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
I've seen so many good posts this year about obtainable New Years goals. I think that there is a huge movement right now about people being really intentional and specific with their lives, and it's a movement I really love seeing. I don't want to set huge goals that are going to lead to burnout in just a few weeks. It's much more simple to adopt easy habits that can lead to long term benefits over time.
1. Start Taking Vitamins:
I definitely think you should talk to a healthcare professional before adding anything like this into your routine. Up until last year I never took vitamins, but went to the doctor and found out I had some deficiencies that needed addressing, and have been taking them ever since.
Derek and I both take the vitafusion Men and Women's gummy vitamins. As the #1 vitamin brand, vitafusion gives adults an easy way to be nutritious. Vitafusion is also the only gummy vitamin brand with "clinically proven absorption"* which is comforting to me to know the things I'm putting into my body are actually making a difference.
We've also added L'il Critters gummy vitamins to our kid's routines. They taste great, are in a fun gummy bear shape, and are the only kid's gummy vitamin with "doctor tested proven nutrient absorption"*. I also love that they are free from artificial sweeteners or flavors, high-fructose corn syrup, synthetic dyes, gluten, and dairy! They really are something you can feel good about giving to your child.
2. Increase Your Protein Consumption:
Many people who are active don't get the amount of protein that they need after a workout. When you're constantly breaking down muscles day after day during your workouts, you need to make sure you're getting enough protein to promote recovery and muscle growth. My brother-in-law recommended Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein to me years ago, and it's the only protein powder I've used since. I love that it has 24 g of whey protein isolate, meaning that much of the carbs and fat are isolated and removed from the product. It's gluten free, 120 calories per serving, 1.5g fat, and 2g sugar. It's an amazing product that not only tastes great, but does great things for your body too.
3. Incorporate More Veggies Into Your Meals:
When I think of making healthy choices, I like to change my mind shift from, "What do I need to eliminate from my diet?", to "What do I need to add into my diet?" I don't believe in restricting any major food group, but strongly believe we can all be eating more fruits and veggies.
Green Giant has made eating your vegetables even easier than before with their new line of Veggie Hash Browns. They have the same flavor and crunch of regular hash browns, with one full serving of cauliflower in each serving. I also love that they're free of artificial colors. flavors, and preservatives, making them a breakfast option you can feel good about!
