Ah, the New Year. Resolutions and goals have been made, but as the month of January lingers on, and life returns to being crazy busy, those goals and resolutions sometimes slip to the way side, especially in the health department. I know, because I've been guilty of this before hand, I'm sure we all have. Life gets hectic and your health takes a back seat and maybe you tend to do some stress eating, or maybe you don't, but I know I am guilty as charged for being a stress eater, and it's not handfuls of spinach I choose to indulge in either....
Well, that's where the #onechange initiative by Vega One comes in to save the day, and stop my serial snacker ways, it satisfies my sweet tooth AND has 3 servings of vegetables! As part of a kick start to the company's #onechange initiative, I was selected to sample and review their Nutritional Shake Product!

For the Review Post, we had to select one of four personas that suited us best, and as soon as I saw the photo below, I knew I had found my persona, I admit it: I am a serial snacker. Or as my parents call it, a grazer. It's a habit I picked up somewhere along my high school years, and try as hard as I can, something I can't seem to shake completely. When I'm stressed, when I'm bored, or just happen to be passing by the kitchen, a snack attack of sweets might occur. I'll open the fridge or cupboard, grab a handful of something, munch and crunch, maybe go back for a few more handfuls or not, and then leave, maybe to return again only a few hours later. Luckily, I have gotten A LOT better at not doing this, BUT I still have moments of weakness, especially when I am stressed out, then I go into full serial snacker mode....
I'm going to make #onechange by using Vega One to kick my serial snacker ways to the curb!
When I'm snacking or feeling a rumbly in my tumbly between meals, I know I need protein to feel full but I often don't like the options in my fridge because they aren't sweet. Or maybe I'm out and about and forgot to pack my purse with my typical bag of green beans and chicken. (Yes, you read that right, I often carry protein and greens in my bag, or in my car in a cooler) What can I say, I love to eat AND I have a big sweet tooth. So when I'm out or at home and feeling the urge to snack, I want to feel satisfied and full, and happy about making a healthy choice.
No extra effort required, no additional prepping, just #onechange to make, a simple snack swap with Vega One's French Vanilla Nutritional Shake instead of some mindless munching. I will keep a packet in my purse, in my backpack, and leave the box out on the counter in my kitchen. That way, wherever I am, I have a healthy option that's packed with protein AND greens as well as other nutritional benefits! Just add some water and it's good to guzzle!
