Keep working on making habits effortless!
Habit #1 – Start your meals with fruits or vegetables.
Start your day focused on reinforcing your first new habit of 2020. Wake up a little earlier in the morning or prep for breakfast before you go to bed. Carving out those few extra minutes will help to ensure you don’t skip this opportunity to rev your body and mind back up.
Even with limited time, make a smoothie to-go. It’s a great way to include a fruit (and even a vegetable) serving for breakfast!
