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!
Pair these delicious salads with my Chocolate Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Afternoon Pick me up Smoothie and you are on your way to a more energetic afternoon and hopefully you will be able to fight off that afternoon slump and finish the day strong!
Chocolate Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Afternoon Pick me up Smoothie
2 ripe bananas (the riper the better, this is a great use for those brown bananas!)
½ cup almond milk or milk of choice

Now you know my secret for beating the afternoon slump. What’s yours?
