#thirstythursday advice for a less guilt-ridden #happyhour - stick with the bubbly as a #cocktail base for fewer calories. At 95 per glass, it’s the lowest in calories and requires less sugar-filled mixers to make it palatable.
My go-to for a refresher? 4 oz champagne (dry) mixed with 1 oz grapefruit @lacroixwater with fresh grapefruit juice squeezed on top. Just 105 calories.

WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO GUILT-FREE COCKTAIL?

My travel bag from @revolve for this #springbreak trip is loaded with @arconalosangeles sunscreen, my huge @swellbottle to go with my much-needed @beatsbydre @quayaustralia sunglasses, a slew of hair ties for the pool from @asos with my hat, @lamer face oil, some chapstick, my IPad Pro and my copper sleep mask. A bag well-packed is a stress-free #vacation ! Cheers to #healthytravel
WHERE WAS YOUR FAVORITE SPRING BREAK MEMORY?!?

$GREENS! Obviously healthy, right?!? But did you know it’s important to switch-it-up? Greens all have different nutrition profiles, so what you get from one, you may not get from another. Change means variety means well-balanced health. How many servings per day will make the frackin’ doctor go away? Shoot for 4 cups of greens per day (other veggies in there for another 2 cups ideally) is easier to do than you might think. I add greens to my egg whites, #breakfast sandwiches, in all of my 10-minutes-or-less #lunch energizing bowls, as a base for my high protein + #paleo dinners...the list goes on! This month I’ve rotated bok choy, chard, microgreens, + watercress. TELL ME WHAT YOUR FAVORITE GREENS ARE AND HOW YOU EAT THEM BELOW #LIVINGWITHASHLEY - I AM GIVING AWAY A FREE 30-MINUTE PHONE CONSULT! Don’t forget this advice and more detail with interaction with me is just $24.99/month at APLiving.community #nutritionist #healthyliving #greens #vegetables$

I CAN SAVE YOU 1000 CALORIES PER DAY- I had such a fantastic time today @windycitylive on @abc7chicago chatting with the incredible @valwarnertv + @ryanchiaverini about how to seriously cut calories without sacrificing flavor. Check out my #reciperehabs on my site for your fave indulgence foods made healthier.

GRAPEFRUIT is amazing for several reasons folks. Not just a tasty, filling, low-cal fruit; this dynamo packs a nutritious punch 🥊 with hydration thanks to its 92% water content (more than any other fruit,) it’s Vitamin A + C content, they can actually help lower blood sugar, promote weight loss (I attribute this to how filling they are!) + aside from so much more- did you know their color is why they have more antioxidants than most fruits?!? #grapfruit #produce #healthbenefits #nutrition #instafruit

#monday #motivation - Don’t let your choices be made without sincere + invested thought behind them. Spend time thinking through the domino affect one choice can have on others.
My example: when it comes to health, skipping one workout can lead to guilt, then to consuming an unhealthy meal, then to more days or moments where you choose to slack or indulge instead of making the healthier choice.
Choose to skip a workout, but get right back up. Your second conscience choice is TOMORROW’S workout. Don’t let circumstance, other people, or outside “clues” (8-ball symbolism) to choose anything for you.
Make your own choices. With conviction. Each choice should be separate + well thought out. This keeps you on track!!! #healthyeating #fitkitchen #motivation #nutrition #health #healthyliving #wellness #me #instadaily #livingwithashley #weightloss #diet #lunch #recipes #foodie #food #picoftheday

RECIPE ALERT: WILD SALMON WITH @stonewallkitchen SALSA VERDE in the oven at 350 degrees for just 16 minutes made my #healthy #sunday #mealprep easy! While it baked,
I caramelized some leeks + cipollini onions + tossed them with @madeinnature dried apricots. All of it was made even more filling thanks to arugula microgreens for a dose of raw. So simple! 4 portions made in under 20 minutes.
BEING HEALTHY DOESN’T HAVE TO TAKE HOURS!
