Chocolate Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Afternoon Pick me up Smoothie. Beat the afternoon slump with this delicious, healthy smoothie recipe.

Are you ever the victim of an afternoon slump? I know that more often than not, right around 3:00, I start to yawn, have a hard time getting motivated and the thought of a nap is incredibly appealing. Unfortunately most of us don’t have the luxury of a daily nap so we have to find other ways to power through. I have found that eating healthy foods and working out after lunch really helps me fight the sleepiness that inevitably threatens to engulf me in the afternoon.

Lately, in an effort to eat better and fight off the urge to nap, I have been devouring these delicious Ready Pac Bistro Bowl Salads that I found at Costco. I have to say they are pretty awesome.

They fit right in with my attempts at a healthier lifestyle and they come in a wide variety of flavors (a must since I get bored easily). Right now my favorites are the Organic Chicken Caesar and the Santa Fe Style salads. Both are perfect for a healthy, light lunch and are great for on the go healthy eating. They might even help you get through that miserable afternoon slump. You can buy these in 2 and 4 packs, so you are never without a healthy, tasty option for lunch!

    Afternoon slump? YES! Right around 2 pm. It's when my kids all of a sudden seem to be super hyper, and all I want to do is take a nap. This smoothie looks like a great way to get in some midday energy! #client Carrie @huppiemama recently posted...Beach Spa Party IdeasMy Profile
