Granola Moms, This One's for You
Posted: | Categories: Substack Archives | Tags:substackJune is when things start to get crazy. Moms, you know. There are field days and spirit weeks and half days. Before we went out of town over the weekend, I made a big batch of granola bars to take with us on the road. I love keeping them on hand during crazy weeks like these. Throw them in a bag (mine or my kids) and you have the perfect snack with only good-for-you ingredients when you need it. I’ll be making more this weekend and sharing inspo with you below.
My trainer just launched a new flavor of his electrolyte. My kids and I love it. Use code MELISSA15 for 15% off!
The other day I shared my go-to press outfit. Do you have a uniform?! It makes getting ready so much easier. One less thing to worry about.
Speaking of, here’s my daily uniform. (It usually includes a tie-dye tee shirt, too. I make those myself; here are all the supplies if you want a fun summer activity.)
I’m trying to eat more protein, so I started eating breakfast and adding these basil seeds to Greek yogurt. I also add maple syrup, vanilla paste, and a little salt because I don’t like Greek yogurt 😅
