Looking for some "clean eating" ideas to use for meal planning or for healthy snacks while you're on the go? Being prepared ahead of time is the key to making healthier choices throughout the day. When we aren't armed with a plan, we're more likely to hit a vending machine or drive-thru for a quick fix.

Keeping non-perishables in your car or handbag is a great way to avoid your blood sugar from taking a nose-dive and causing you to be hangry.
