Change Purse First Aid Kit


I'm leaving for my annual adult Key West Weekend soon, and I am only taking carry on luggage.  Everything I'm bringing has to be in a tiny size to make room for everything.

Last year, I woke up on day 2 with a terrible head cold and spent most of that afternoon riding around in 90 degree heat and 80% humidity searching for a pharmacy with Sudafed.  Never again.

This year, I will be prepared.  You can make one too for your next trip or even for your purse or car!


Change Purse First Aid Kit

Supplies:

Change purse (I found mine in the Target Dollar Bin)
Various medications (Advil, Tylenol, Tums, Alka Seltzer, Sudafed, Advil cold and sinus, Nyquil, Bandaids, cough drops, Immodium, prescription medications...)
Tiny zip top bags (I found mine at the craft store)
Marker


Portion out a few days worth of each medication and place into labeled zip top bags.  Just write the names on the tiny bags so there are no mix ups).  The labeled baggies will also help you replenish when you run out of something.

Place everything into a cute change purse and toss into your bag!

"Clean" Peanut Butter Oat Bars


Sorry about the mix up last week!  I started to post these and ended up posting my Clean Cookie Dough "Ice Cream" instead!  Brain fart!

I'm trying to clean up my eating/snacking habits lately and though I have a long way to go, I thought decreasing sugars and eating healthy snacks that will still satisfy my sweet tooth would be a good place to begin.

I have a little square of this whenever I'm craving sweets!

"Clean" Peanut Butter Oat Bars

1 cup natural peanut butter
3/4 cup honey
1 scoop natural whey protein powder
1 1/2 cup rolled oats

Melt peanut butter in microwave for about 1 minute, then add honey and stir.

Mix in the protein powder then combine with oats.

Spread evenly in a 9x9 pan and let set up in fridge for 30 minutes.

Cut into small 1-2 inch squares and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Enjoy!

Cookie Dough "Ice Cream"


I found this recipe for a yummy ice cream alternative on a friend's blog and thought I'd share! Sometimes it's nice to have something sweet when you're trying to be good when it comes to eating.

Cookie Dough "Ice Cream"

3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
 1 tbsp nut butter
1 tbsp honey
 1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of sea salt
1 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Mix all the ingredients together (I used my bullet mixer then stirred in the mini chips).

Let set up in the fridge for 30 minutes or so...if you can wait that long!

If you want to find other great snack ideas and general fitness motivation, check out Melanie Mitro's blog.

Have a great Mother's Day everyone!
