Mindful Eating

How to time your meals wisely throughout the day! 

Ever wonder why you crash mid-afternoon or get late-night cravings? It’s not just what you eat, it's when! Timing your meals right can boost energy, improve digestion, and keep hunger in check. Follow our guide to eat smarter and feel better.  

1. Start Strong: Your First Meal Matters

Eat within 1–2 hours of waking up to fuel your metabolism. Eating most of your calories earlier in the day helps with weight management and improves metabolic health, as you move throughout the day.

Best picks: Chill-out Toast with an egg on top with our Mango Passion Smoothie. A rich in healthy fats and protein breakfast to fuel your morning!

2. Beat the 3 PM Slump

Lunch between 12–2 PM + a snack at 3–4 PM to prevent crashes.

Best picks for lunch: Order Chicken Al Pastor (roasted chicken, fajita veggies, guacamole) or Portobello Road Bowl (mushrooms, chicken, and healthy fats) for sustained energy.

Afternoon Snack: Guac and Chips. fun, quick, and easy!

3. Fuel Workouts the Right Way

Pre-workout: Eat 1–2 hours before for good digestion and an energy boost. Prioritize protein and complex carbs as they help you retain energy and strength.

Post-workout: Eat within 30–60 minutes to recover.

Best post-workout picks: Spirulina almond or Lychee dragon fruit smoothie.

4. Dinner: Not Too Late, Not Too Heavy

Eat at least 2–3 hours before bed to avoid digestion issues.

Go for: Avo Kale Caesar Bowl, Greek Salata, or Salmon Goddess Plate. A perfect mix of protein, healthy fats, and mixed greens for fiber.

5. Late-Night Hunger? Keep It Light

Eating large meals close to bedtime can disrupt metabolism and increase the risk of weight gain. If you’re hungry, grab a small snack.

Best option: Hummus and veggies. Simple, filling, and easy to digest!

Timing your meals = more energy, better digestion, and fewer cravings!
