But you're constantly on the go-soccer practice, commuting, being a mom-how can you enjoy healthy nutrition?
Let me tell you, it's all about highly portable snacks, what you bring into your home, and managing your time with quick and easy nutrition ideas.
These are the tools, tips and techniques that I've learned along the way that have not only helped me lose 80 pounds but maintain my weight loss while running my business and spending time with my family.
Remember, thoughts become things. So be thinking of your health before you even bring the food into your home.
JNL'S Nutrition-On-The-Go Tips And Techniques
As a busy mom, there are certain windows of time you can use to get things done.
Here are my favorite tips for the on-the-go woman!
- When your family is in bed for the night, prepare your hot meals for the next day
- When you grab your coffee in the morning, put some fresh brown rice in the rice cooker so that you can grab and go when you're out of the shower
- Use a pressure cooker to make high protein soup in minutes! Add dry beans and frozen meat to a pressure cooker. In a couple minutes, it's ready to go and you can put it in your Tupperware with some brown rice.
- Put fresh fruit on shish-kabob sticks and freeze them so you have a delicious, nutritious treat to satisfy your sweet tooth!
- Throw out your trigger foods and get rid of your candy bowl. If you put it in front of your face, you will eat it, so replace candy with fruit and vegetables!
- Make sure you invest in the right accessories that you need like a lunch box, pressure cooker, rice cooker, and Tupperware.

JNL's Supplements For The On-The-Go Mom
On-The-Go-Supplements 
Supplements are an absolutely important part of a busy lifestyle. I love my protein shakes; I have 3 a day! The most important one to take is post-workout.
What I do to set myself up for success is take a scoop of protein powder (I use BSN Syntha 6) and add it to my shaker bottle. Put it in your gym bag and take it with you. If you're stuck in traffic, BOOM, you just add water and you have a great, high-quality meal right in your hand.
I also love the BSN Syntha 6 RTDs. They're ready-to-drink, you shake it up and you just gulp it down. Your body and your muscles are happy!
If you want a post-dinner meal, BSN Lean Dessert is slightly lower in calories and makes a great after-dinner treat. I really love to use the blender when I'm at home because it's like an absolutely delicious milkshake that your body thanks you for!
