Go wolverines!
Every night, Monday through Thursday our son spends two hours at the fields and the another big chunk of our weekend. If your a football mom you know that your nights are spent at the field! And quite frankly it becomes a problem if we don't plan our food for the night/day. We are gone for usually 4 hours for games when all is said and done!
Being at practice or games for hours on end you get hungry! That dang snack shack calls your name, and then.... lights out! You have ordered three things that are unhealthy and leave you feeling bloated and full of regret!
---> Now please don't think I don't ever cheat or eat junk, because in all honesty I do! However I don't find the snack shack cheese and nachos and hot dogs too appetizing, not to mention- if I eat it, I feel like absolute garbage. So for me, I find it best to plan my day accordingly and pack my own snacks for me and the kids. Not to mention, it saves us some money too!
Who else knows how expensive these sporting events can be!!!??
A water here, a Gatorade there, a hot dog and chips and candy, pretty soon you have spent $15-20 on junk!!!
Honestly I don't want to feel like a tubbo leaving the game when in all honesty i would rather be out there playing football with them!
To be successful and beat the snack shack All you have to do is plan ahead!
So why not make our nights and weekends healthier by filling our own game day bag with healthy, fulfilling snacks!
I bring a soft cooler and throw in all kinda of goodies! I may look like a weirdo but I leave games/practice with no regrets!
So here is what I typically pack:
🔸Apples and natural peanut butter
🔸cut up veggies and hummus
🔸my own trail mix (throw together seeds, nuts and dried fruit)
🔸shakeology
🔸lots of water
🔸organic or homemade granola/protein bars
🔸some natural/organic fruit snacks for the kids
So you see.... It's pretty simple! All you have to do is plan ahead!
Eat real, whole foods to fuel your body and I promise you won't regret packing that cooler!!
So I wish all you football moms and dad's luck on beating the snack shack!!
You can do it!!
