what is on an RDN's holiday wish list?

 

Present Inspiration for the Health-Conscious People In Your Life

We're making your holiday shopping easy this year! WAG Coaches and RDNs Brittany, and Alex gave us a little sneak peek at their holiday wish lists. Use these as inspiration and starting places as you shop for health-conscious loved ones.

  1. Cuisinart Air Fryer + Convection Toaster Oven provides many meal prep opportunities! From crisping veggies to quickly cooking protein, I'm excited to add this to my lineup.
  2. Rice is one of my go-to carb sources—especially in meals before and after workouts. The Lenwi Rice Dispenser looks like the perfect way to easily store and measure rice as I need it.
  3. I’ve heard great things about the Sunrise Alarm Clock and want to try it. Waking up gradually and naturally will help me feel more alert in the morning.
  4. A bedside humidifier for dryer nights will help with stuffiness and hydration—especially in the chillier months.
  5. A Papier Wellness Journal to help me set goals and stay grounded in the new year.

Quick Holiday Nutrition Tip: Keep healthy foods stocked in your fridge and prep some go-to meals to keep on hand during the holiday season. Things get busy fast, and when you have lots of special events when you may want a treat, keeping the healthy choice the easy choice at home adds up! If a day, meal, or event doesn’t go as planned, start fresh with the next meal or the next morning.

  1. A new Garmin smartwatch- I love making sure that I am active throughout the day and not just during my exercise hour. Having a smart watch helps me be aware of how I am moving throughout the day and sleeping. I am adding this to the list since I am due for an upgrade- a gift of health this year!
  2. A gift card for supplements- Any brand with minimal ingredients and a transparent label will work for me! I do try to get most of my nutritional needs through food, but there are just some things that I still need a supplement for: creatine, protein powder on occasion, and some vitamins based on the season. If I get a gift card to Promix, Momentus, or Transparent labs (or any similar brand), I will be oh, so happy!
  3. LMNT - This is hands down my favorite electrolyte option. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t enjoy 1-2 of these packets. I am totally to the age where I would love a restock of the things I use on the daily. A couple of boxes of these under the tree = happiness for me!
  4. New duvet cover. Sleep is ESSENTIAL for optimal health. I know I eat generally better, I eel better, and I look better when I sleep well. Since I am a hot sleeper, the right duvet cover is so important. I would love to see a 100% cotton (because it is breathable!) neutral-colored duvet cover under the tree this year. The gift of good sleep is a gift that keeps on giving.
  5. Puzzles of any kind! In the theme of total body wellness, a gift of a puzzle would make me so happy because I love a chance to challenge my mind.

Quick Holiday Nutrition Tip: Don’t downplay the impact of doing something small daily for your overall health and wellness. The holidays are busy, so we often don’t have time for a long workout or a full meal prep. That is OK! 15-20 minutes of movement still benefits you! Starting your day with a high-protein breakfast can still make an impact (even if you have cookies for dinner). No need to be all in or all out!
