Is it possible for it to be low-stress AND nutritious?
Nicole Christensen wears many hats: CF-L4, owner of CrossFit Roots, Seminar Staff Flowmaster, CrossFit Nutrition Course Director, and, most importantly, mom of two.
Her best tip: Keep it simple and offer a small selection of healthy options to keep the decisions and negotiations to a minimum.
At breakfast, she keeps it quick and easy by offering a fruit and a protein, which vary based on what’s in the house. For lunches and snacks, she likes to have a variety of good choices available so her girls can make their own selections. At dinner, the kids eat what the adults eat: typically grilled meat, some form of potato, and a vegetable.
