Rise and shine! Got an early start to the day since we had about a 2 1/2 hour drive to Flagstaff for the Snowbowl, my first time snowboarding a real mountain! Fueled up with my default egg and avocado breakfast and some quinoa.

I knew I had to pack a cooler of snacks since we were going to be up north for the day, and it’s not like I could just order anything off the menu.  With a ton of munchies on hand, I was grazing and energized for the whole day!

~~> What was in my cooler:

-Raisins

-Nut clusters (Costco)

-Bananas

-Clementines

-Easy avocado salad (avocado, tomato, lemon, salt, pepper, cilantro)

Homemade granola bars (no bake!)

-Naked drinks

-Coconut water

-Baby Carrots

Greek-style chic pea salad (minus the cheese… boo)

and plenty of water…  the only thing I wish I wasn’t missing out on was the hot chocolate. Once we arrived home after 5 hours of driving and 6 hours of snowboarding, I was hungry but too tired to cook. Luckily, I made a vegetable soup in bulk that I froze into single-portion containers! In the morning, I put one in the fridge to defrost so all I had to do was pop it in the microwave.  This concept also works well for frozen meals in general. It’s quick and convenient, it’s healthy, it’s exactly what you like, and it’s cost efficient!
