Whether you’re in corporate America, a busy mom, a full time student (who also works full time), a budding entrepreneur or a combination of all the above, we’re just going to assume we have one thing in common–we’re busy! Multitasking is our super power and being the boss is our favorite quality. Unfortunately, while we may be running things in both the office and in our households, the real question is: are we running things when it comes to our health?

Lunch On Fleek: FitGirl Avocado Toast
Loaded with fiber, packed with more potassium than bananas and a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, avocados are a great lunch option. I can’t stop eating avocado toast this year, so I wanted to share a light and tasty version that you can pack and stack right at work.

FitGirl Avocado Toast
Ingredients:
2 crispbreads (I like Wasa)
1/2 avocado thinly sliced
1/3 cup of roasted cherry tomatoes (just split in half, drizzle with olive oil, a bit salt & pepper and bake at 475 for 20 minutes the night before)
1 boiled egg
Directions:
This is so easy to prep that you can make it with your eyes closed. I boil all five eggs for the week in my KRUPS Egg Cooker – perfection in 6 minutes. Cut the avocados in half the morning of, don’t worry the other half won’t go back thanks to the genius behind Food Huggers – the cutest little reusable food savers you ever did see. They have one that fits this super fruit perfectly by the way. Then, since the roasted cherry tomatoes have been prepped beforehand too, all you have to do at lunch time is load those crispbreads up and eat up.
RAD Smoothie: Orange Citrus Cooler
Remember Orange Julius in the mall, or an Orange Creamsicle as a kid? Well this healthy version is their love child. Packed with vitamin C and protein this time around. Get ready for a party to start in your mouth ladies!
Ingredients:
1 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Blue Diamond Almond Breeze
1 large naval orange sliced (freeze the night before so your smoothie is nice and thick)
4 oz plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp of agave or honey
Directions:
Blend all the above until smooth. Orange you glad you tried this smoothie!
