It’s official - fall is quickly approaching. 


Now that the summer holidays have passed, it’s a good time to find a routine that supports your health goals and is realistic for you. 


Starting a new routine can be challenging, old habits are hard to kick. Planning and preparing in advance is a great way to make your week easier and healthier while saving you time and money. 


Here are our TOP 3 tips to help you ‘FALL’ into a new routine. 

 

  1. MEAL PREPPING

Keep it simple:

Planning meals doesn’t have to be an elaborate process. Keeping meals simple can make grocery shopping easier, less stressful, and more enjoyable.

 

ProTip: Incorporate ingredients that can be added to several meal recipes throughout the week.

 

  • Dice up some smoked tofu to toss in your salad - this simple ingredient is loaded with flavour, protein and is convenient for quick lunches.
  • Bake some salmon fillets and refrigerate or freeze to add to future meals.
  • Cook a big batch of quinoa ahead of time and keep in the fridge - this makes a great side with a stir fry, or try adding it to a salad.  
  • Wash, chop, and package up single serving smoothie ingredients, (minus the liquid) and put them in the freezer. In the morning, combine the packaged ingredients in a blender with almond milk (or your liquid of choice), and blend it up until smooth. This makes for a quick and easy breakfast smoothie.
  • ProTip: Short on time? Order pre-packed smoothie packs. These packs have all the pre-blended ingredients in them and will be delivered to your door. Simply put the contents in your blender with the liquid of your choosing (milk/non-dairy milk, water, coconut water etc), blend, and enjoy! The withinUs Team enjoys the Blended For You smoothie packs.  

 

Alternatives:

Slow cookers are an ideal way to save time, but prepare a delicious and healthy meal. This life-changing appliance has the ability to create nutrient dense meals that not only taste great but are virtually hassle free. Slow cookers work by consistently cooking at a consistent temperature throughout the day, some can be set up to 12 hours in advance. 

Meal prep services - more and more of these types of companies are popping up. Designed to save you time, meal prep services deliver fresh ingredients to your door, eliminating the ‘what should I have for dinner’, and shopping dilemma. Companies such as Fresh Prep, SPUD - Be Fresh and Hello Fresh are pioneering this movement by offering easy, healthy, ready to make meals. The selection often changes on a weekly basis so you don’t have to worry about getting tired of eating the same foods.

  1. PLANNER

A withinUs team favourite way to stay organized is with a physical planner. Use your planner to set goals and record the actionable items required to get you there. Keep track of finances, birthdays, appointments, and coffee dates all in one place. 

 

One of the most important things to schedule is time for self care. Check out our blog post here to see some of our favourite ways to exercise self care.

    I recently moved to the other side of the country. Building a healthy routine for myself and my daughter is a huge undertaking, but it has started with the meal prep, at the very least.

    I am itching to get back into my matcha routine, though. I think that will be some of my ‘mama needs her zen’ self-care while I take care of body, mind, and spirit.

    Well I totally learned something in your blog. I didn’t know you can take that much Collagen in one day. I use it everyday in my morning coffee and Ill rehydrate in the evening. I have been enjoying your product for a few year’s now and it’s Awesome

    I love the cooler mornings that fall brings and waking up to a warm cup of my matcha Misto and coconut creamer. It’s so homey and cozy, honestly my favourite part of my morning.

    I rise very early in the morning to exercise. Then, I make a cup of Matcha Misto+Collagen and enjoy a few minutes of peace and serenity before everyone is the house wakes up.

    During my workouts I love the Within Us ReHydrate!
