I am always looking for different ideas to pass along and this week, my inspiration came when I was downtown this week in our Chicago office for a workshop. During a break I went into the lunchroom for a glass of water and when I looked around I saw there was a setup for a Nutri-bullet system. My first thought was, “This is such a GREAT idea!” Many employees are trying to make healthier choices and lunch is always a tough one. Do I pack a lunch or go out to eat? If I pack a lunch what do I make? How can I take something into the office that is quick, easy and healthy?
Having a Nutri-bullet available is an awesome perk to provide for our employees. I don’t know if all offices have something like this or not, but this is a great idea. I can say personally, I would not bring my own nutri-bullet system to the office on a daily basis. It is not something that I would want to lug around, but if I knew the device was in the office, I would totally prepare a container the night before. The containers should be compatible with the system and all you would have to do is gather the ingredients the night before and stick them into the refrigerator when you got to the office. At lunch time, you could add ice from the ice machine and “buzz up” your meal.
Voila! Now you have a simple, healthy nutritious lunch. And if you were in a hurry you could take and drink your lunch at your next meeting.
If you are not already on the smoothie bandwagon, I highly encourage you to think about it. In my Nutrition Renewed class series, I have a whole class dedicated to “Adding in the Good Stuff” and spend a good portion talking about all of the health benefits of smoothies, how simple they really are to make, secret ingredients to increase your nutrient content along with some yummy recipes.
If you didn’t catch my last class, I will be offering another series of Nutrition Renewed in January. You can choose to attend just one class, or all four for a discounted price. Check out my events page for more details. http://onepowerfulstep.com/events/
