I don’t let these tips stress me out or make me feel guilty if I don’t pack protein powder, eat my greens but these are what work for me. My picks: I pack a scoop or two of protein powder (depending on how many days I am traveling) in my Stasher bags and always pack nut butter packets from RX bar or Justin’s (can buy at Target or almost any grocer). I add a scoop of protein powder (Deanna saves you 15%) and a packet of nut butter while the oatmeal steeps and add fresh fruit like berries or banana or the little packet of nuts they give you if I have them too. If you are traveling for a few days in the same city, finding a grocery store is great if you didn’t pack snacks or want things you can’t pack on a plane (ie cucumbers with hummus).

Other thoughtful gifts you guys also brought up: TSA Pre-check: Zack got this for me last year and I love him for it. I think we paid $75, it lasts for 5 years and you skip the airport lines and never have to take off your shoes or take out laptops at airport security! As awesome idea for someone who travels more frequently

the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo in Washington DC where over 11,000+ nutrition professionals come together to address key health issues, trends, check out new food products, earn continuing ed and network. I attended a session on Food Porn Dilemmas: Balancing Artful Imagery and Real-Word Attainability in Social Media and then attended a few other sessions on Tech and social media dietitians and then a GREAT session about Corporate Wellness and Media. An early SoulCycle event with Belvita and the Blueberry Council in the morning, a lunch time event with Caulipowered (they were passing out my recipes! ! ) and a dinner event at Momofuku with the Seafood Nutrition Partnership were the main events. I am so thankful my corporate wellness company understands the importance of these conferences for me to attend and gain intel, network, talk about what we do as a company, earn continuing ed, and grow as a professional.

I get a lot of questions about my apple cider vinegar drink, what kind of coffee I drink, or how I start off my day so positive, Make my apple cider vinegar drink + take probiotics once downstairs. I have a cup of decaf with a few drops of stevia and a splash of almond milk while I get onto my computer and start work. I check emails and follow-up on anything needed, start conference call and work and then stretch for a little bit.
