Three meals. Every single day. Plus snacks. I’m over it! Please pass me a bag of chips.
Oh yes – I’ve been there. Some days, I’m still there. Can’t we just get a little break from all the food needs?
Whether you’re just starting your journey to healthy eating, or you’ve been on the journey for quite a while – being sure to get plenty of nourishment day after day after day can become overwhelming if we allow it. But don’t fall back on a bag of chips in your frustrated moments. After all, you would crush the bag of chips, and wouldn’t that be a shame? You would also just be filling a hole, not giving your body anything it needs to thrive, and likely, you’ll still be hungry – because our bodies crave nutrients! And sometimes Doritos. But truly, the more we fill ourselves with real food, the less our bodies will ask for the junk. I promise (says the former Pepsi addict).
Today, I want to combine two thoughts that I’ve shared within this Real Food Reality series: Food is Nourishment. What a Concept. and You Are What You Drink.
It is very fun to put together delicious, nourishing drinks. These drinks can be used as a meal or a snack. The variety of options is limitless. They are filling. You can get creative. You can use what you have on hand. You can use what you find on sale.
Feeling overwhelmed with ways to offer your family nourishment? Try a fun drink option! Here are some of our family’s favorite, nourishing drinks:
Warm, Nourishing Drinks
Cold, Nourishing Drinks
Strawberry Milkshakes (substitute another variety of frozen fruit if you like)
What are your favorite nourishing drinks?
