What We Packed for the Beach (in 10 Minutes)

By

Hi, guys!

We got a late start today. Well, technically, I was up and at ’em getting work done before my boys woke up, but they slept in this morning. Not joking you, Quinn slept until 8:30 this morning. 8:30!!! People, this is the latest he’s slept in his whole life. We witnessed history in the making this morning! Haha!

Anyway, we had a bit of a late start to our day (I also squeezed in a 4 mile run), so we threw together our things for the beach, including iced coffee, lunch, and snacks, in like 10 minutes. I’ve received a few questions from readers/followers about some of our favorites that we typically bring to the beach, so I wanted to share. Of course, today is just one of many beach days, but I hope it gives you some quick and easy ideas for healthy beach eats!

First up, obviously, was iced coffee! Mal and I are committed to our morning iced coffee routine! 🙂 We’re loving the boxed cold brew from Wandering Bear Coffee. They recently sent me some to sample, and we’re in love. It’s so tasty and convenient! I also packed unsweetened vanilla Ripple, ice, tumbler, and glass straw to complete the package.

Once we had iced coffee, it was time to play. Quinn is still loving his digger! The beach was bumping this morning – the temps were in the 90s by the time we got there!

When lunchtime rolled around, we dug into our cooler. On the menu for Quinn: Pita pockets filled with hummus, a ProBugs pouch, strawberries, pineapple, and water. We also brought “cheesy crackers” from Trader Joe’s for him.

Please note: Quinn sharing his fruit with his new crab (shell) friend.

On the menu for Mal and me: Shredded Brussels sprouts with chicken breast, Primal Kitchen Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese. Yummm!

I also brought a couple bags of Spicy Dill Pickle Kettle Chips from Deep River Snacks. The flavor actually reminds me of fried pickles a little bit! 🙂

Other than that, we packed some cans of seltzer and more water, and we left the beach at 2:00 PM. It was definitely a fun day with delicious eats!

Question of the Day

What are your favorite quickie foods to bring to the beach?

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
