Welcome to the end of January Whole30! If you’ve followed along with us this whole time, congratulations! It’s easy to start the year off with healthy intentions, but keeping that going is another story. Today, I wanted to share 5 tips for eating healthy that I think are crucial for me to stay on track! Make sure you get to the end of this post to enter a great giveaway!
5 Tips for Eating Healthy
1 – Meal Plan
Y’all know I can’t sing the meal planning praises enough. I plan 1 month at a time and share them all here, so feel free to use them! If you don’t want the recipes I post, check out this post I did on how I plan my meals each month with a more updated version here.
2 – Have On-the-Go Options
I think the biggest thing people struggle with, is eating healthy when there is a time crunch. One of my favorite things to keep on hand, is deli turkey. It’s good lean protein, can be added to a rice cake with avocado, shredded on a salad, rolled around apple slices or eaten right on it’s own. I just make sure to get it from the deli counter without added nitrates. (Boar’s Head makes some good options) Bars make great on-the-go foods as well. RX Bars and LaraBars are our favorites.
3 – Have the Right Tools
You will waste a lot of time if you don’t have the tools to make cooking easier. I use my blender, stand mixer with spiralizer all the time. A coffee frother will turn your coffee with no sugar into a delicious coffee shop like treat.
4 – Take the Easy Route
If you’ve completed Whole30, you probably learned a lot about reading labels, sneaky ingredients and foods to avoid. You probably also learned that there are certain brands that make a great product so you don’t have to. Dump ranch might be tasty, but I’ll take the Primal Kitchen ranch or mayo over making my own any day. Buying precut veggies (looking at you, sweet potatoes!), frozen riced cauliflower, salad mixes and
5 – Order In
More and more meal delivery companies are realizing people want healthy food, fast! Blue Apron has a great selection of meals and we’ve really liked trying those with the boys. Sun Basket is one I haven’t tried, but they have tons of different options like paleo, clean or gluten free.
Now onto the good stuff! GIVEAWAY! We’ve teamed up with some of our favorite brands to giveaway a bunch of stuff that can help you stay on the healthy track. Another great way to stay on track, is eating healthy with your friends.

I would love tips to stay motivated to push myself during workouts. Some days I’m in the zone and others I feel like I’m only going at 50%.
Music is a good push for me! Or I watch a Netflix show and it keeps me running until the end!
I need help figuring out how to consistently workout while on a tight schedule. I also need help figuring out a good meal prepping plan. So far I’ve been watching videos on youtube and they’ve been really helpful.
Would love to join the Facebook while 30 group- link takes me to holiday hustle page. Is that the whole 30 group? Thanks!
Yes it is!
Such a fun giveaway
Great tips on eating healthy too
The most help I could really use for the month of February and so on. Is Meal Planning/Meal Prep for my entire family. I have to admit we are all picky but we could at least make a compromise.
I would love some more workouts, like the one you did with Heather!
I love using meal short cut hacks, pre cut veggies or even frozen veggies! Already riced cauliflower is my favorite!
What a fun giveaway! I’ve been doing Blue Apron for a while now and love how easy the recipes are to make. Very convenient too!
Staying consistent!
i need the most help with keeping away from sugar and simple carbs
Thank you for this exciting giveaway! I would love to hear more about how you stay MOTIVATED after January, especially to work out early in the morning! Thank you! 🙂
I want help with motivation to exercise and eat healthy, and tips/recipes for yummy healthy foods.
I need help with snack options!
RX Bars, veggies and hummus, apple slices with deli turkey rolled around it, nuts. I like to take a serving of whatever I’m having out so I’m not tempted to eat the whole bag of anything! And make sure you drink a big glass of water when you’re feeling snacky. It will help fill you up!
At home fitness ideas, maybe even ones involving kids.
I’m trying the Bikini Body Guide on the Sweat app right now and love it! 28 minutes all at home!
I would love to hear y’all’s tips on fast recovery, Your stretching routines, and how do you handle events like super bowl parties for example, when all your friends around you are having drinks and eating fatty dips and chips? I have intentions of staying on track in those moments but have a hard time having fun and feeling deprived. Would love to hear your tips. 😊
Ps. LOVE your blog. It’s one of my favorites
Thank you! I tend to let myself have a little fun for events like Super Bowl. But, I know how it makes me feel to eat crappy, so I try to keep it to a minimum. I fill up on healthy food before an event, then stick to a drink like vodka soda or bourbon on the rocks so I’m not sucking down a bunch of calories.
