Wild Friday night spent making smoothie packs to freeze 🎉 The easiest way to prep for smoothies on the go. This one has spinach blueberries and bananas in it & I'll add in almond milk & almond butter once it's in the blender #smoothies #smoothiepack #healthyeating #onthego #foodprep #jacnlex

Lunch prep 👍🏻 Lately I've loved mixing wild rice & quinoa together by cooking 1/2C of each together over the stovetop in 3C of water, 1/2 tbsp olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. This week I am putting 3/4C of the mix over a bed of spinach with 1/2 an avocado & a few sprinkles of garlic salt for lunch. If you want a protein you can add in tofu, grilled chicken or shrimp! #lunch #lunchprep #mealprepmonday #healthy #healthyfood #cleanfood #quinoa #spinach #jacnlex

Monday night yoga 🙏 Currently in the process of decorating one of our guest rooms to be a warm & zen environment so that it can double as a meditation/yoga/pilates area. I've been using Gaiamtv.com which has been great but would love some other reccomendations for online streaming! #yoga #pilates #meditation #relaxation #nighttimeyoga #namaste #healthylifestyle #happylife #jacnlex
