Importance of drinking water

 As I am sure you have heard before, water is essential to our health and wellbeing. Water can help regulate your body temperature and help protect your joints and organs. Making sure you are drinking enough water can be difficult. An easy way to make sure you are drinking enough is to divide your bodyweight in half and convert it to ounces. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should drink about 75 ounces of water per day. Make sure to stay hydrated!

Healthy snack ideas

 Choosing what to eat as a snack can be difficult, especially because a lot of snacks are not always the healthiest. I have found the protein balls are a quick and easy snack to keep you fueled and going about your day. They are super easy to make and are able to be made ahead of time and kept until your ready to eat them. You can make protein balls many different ways depending on our desired preference. Here's the recipe that I have found to be my personal favorite. - 1 cup of peanut butter -1 cup of oats - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips -1 Tbsp honey - 1 tsp vanilla You could also add protein powder into the recipe if your looking to add more protein into your snack. I have also seen recipes that incorporate flax seeds, or other types of seeds. I hope you enjoy your protein balls and I'm looking forward to seeing your recipe ideas in the comments below!
