Snacks On The Go: BodyOM
I’ve received an overwhelming number of questions for quick, easy and healthy options for snacks on the go. Whether it be running between classes, traveling for work or before and after a workout, many times options are limited and its super tough to eat well. I totally get it. I've been in the same situation as well and ate things that I normally wouldn't, but that's all what was available. So to help, I’ve been doing a lot of research on companies and types of food that will make it as easy as possible to live a healthier, more fit lifestyle. I will be featuring different types of food as well as companies that provide the best options to feed our body quality nutrients that are quick, easy and healthy.
