Starting the new year off strong doesn’t have to mean drastic changes. Sometimes, small tweaks to everyday habits can make a big difference in your family’s health. We gathered some of our favorite simple, smart swaps you can make today to kickstart a healthier 2025 together.
Slow Down Screen Time and Opt for Board Games or Puzzles
Swap screen time for activities that engage the mind and encourage family bonding. Instead of zoning out in front of screens separately, enjoy the challenge of a board game night, work together on a puzzle, or start a family book club.
Replace Take-Out for Meal Prep Sundays
We all rely on take-out for busy nights but, once a week, like on a Sunday, try swapping the take-out for weekly meal prep time. By dedicating just a few hours (get the kids involved!) on Sunday to preparing and storing healthy meals for the week, you’ll save time, reduce stress, and make healthier choices.
Don’t Throw Out Those Veggies, Make a Soup
Don’t toss out those old, leftover veggies left in the fridge at the end of the week, whip together a healthy soup! It’s a great way to reduce food waste and a great dinner idea in the winter. Sauté the veggies, add broth, and simmer for a nourishing meal that’s good for your family and the planet.
Serve Veggie Sips Instead of Laxatives
Instead of relying on laxatives, which can have concerning side effects, swap them for Veggie Sips, a gentle yet effective remedy for constipation. After extensive research, we became increasingly worried about the potential long-term effects of prolonged PEG3350 use and its impact on children’s behavior.
Instead of Rushing to Bed, Incorporate a Bedtime Routine
Since the sun sets so early these days, it can be easy to rush to bed as soon as it gets dark. Try setting aside time as a family for relaxing activities like stretching together, or a 5-minute family meditation. These calming rituals help signal to everyone's body that it's time to wind down, improve sleep quality, and create a peaceful bedtime routine for everyone to enjoy.
Couch Potato Time for Family Yoga
Swap spending the evening glued to the TV and phones, for a fun family yoga class! Crank up a yoga YouTube video and get everyone moving, stretching, breathing, and bonding. It's a great way to unwind, improve flexibility, and build healthy habits together.
Mocktails > Alcohol
Instead of reaching for that adult drink at night, swap it for a refreshing, protein-packed mocktail made with Protein Sips. With 9g of protein per serving, Protein Sips helps keep you feeling full and energized—without the hangover. Try adding a fun garnish or some fresh herbs to mix things up.
Small changes can lead to big improvements. Swapping out bad habits can be as simple as stir, and sip! Consider joining our 21 days of Sips Tips for even more mom-approved life hacks for more joy and less stress in the new year!
