Top 10 Ways to Stay Healthy and Energized This Thanksgiving

Top 10 Ways to Stay Healthy and Energized This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is full of family, food, and well deserved downtime. It can also be a time when healthy habits take a back seat. A few simple choices can keep your energy steady and your routine intact without missing out on your favorite traditions. These tips are easy to follow and help you feel your best through the holiday weekend.

  1. Start the morning with movement:
    • A brisk walk, a light jog, or a short at home workout (perhaps from Fit Snack) sets the tone for the day. Getting your blood flowing helps balance stress and appetite before the big meal.
  2. Hydrate before the celebrations begin
    • Most people mistake thirst for hunger. Drink a full glass of water when you wake up and sip throughout the day to stay energized and avoid overeating.
  3. Eat a balanced breakfast
    • Skipping meals to save room usually backfires. Choose a protein rich breakfast with whole grains and fruit to keep your metabolism steady.
  4. Load your plate with color
    • At dinner, aim to fill half your plate with vegetables before selecting heavier sides. This helps you enjoy your favorites without feeling sluggish afterward.
  5. Pause before you grab seconds
    • Give yourself ten minutes to check in with your hunger level before going back for more. You will feel more satisfied and more in control of your portions.
  6. Choose healthier drink options
    • Sparkling water with citrus, low sugar mocktails, or a light spritz can save calories that add up quickly. Try mixing in Teko Yerba Mate for sustained energy throughout the day. Staying hydrated also helps you feel better the next day.
  7. Add protein to your snacks
    • If you graze throughout the day, pair items like crackers or fruit with protein. Nuts, jerky, protein bars, or Greek yogurt help stabilize blood sugar and curb cravings. Fitzels also help satisfy your sweet tooth and provides a protein packed snack.
  8. Get outside after dinner
    • A short post meal walk helps digestion and boosts your mood. It is also a great way to spend time with family without hovering around leftovers.
  9. Protect your sleep routine
    • Late nights can throw off your hunger cues the next day. Aim to keep a consistent bedtime and reduce screen time before bed.
  10. Bring healthy snacks for travel
    • Whether you are flying or driving, pack options that keep you full and focused. Protein bars, veggie snacks, or Fit Snack favorites help you avoid convenience store temptations.

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to enjoy good food and good company without losing sight of your wellness goals. With a few intentional choices, you can stay on track and still appreciate every flavor and moment. If you need healthy snacks for road trips, workouts, or the busy holiday season, your next Fit Snack box has you covered.

Teko Yerba Mate- Clean Energy, Made Refreshing

At Teko, we believe being healthy should taste awesome. That’s why we reimagined yerba mate—the legendary plant from Paraguay known for its natural energy and wellness benefits—into a light, fruity powder you can enjoy instantly. No brewing, no waiting—just pour, mix, and sip.

Each stick of Teko Yerba Mate blends USDA Organic ingredients and 100% natural flavoring to deliver clean, refreshing energy in seconds. It dissolves quickly in cold water, contains no sugar, and has only 10 calories per stick—making it the easiest way to enjoy a flavorful, feel-good boost anytime.

What makes Teko different is how it works with your body, not against it. Yerba mate naturally contains caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline—a trio that gives you steady, balanced energy without the crash you get from coffee or energy drinks. It’s also rich in antioxidants like chlorogenic acids, polyphenols, and saponins, which help protect your cells, support metabolism, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery. Together, they help you feel focused, hydrated, and revitalized—naturally.

Whether you’re reaching for something refreshing after a workout or need clean energy to power through your day, Teko makes healthy choices simple and enjoyable. Every sip is proof that healthy can taste awesome.

Pure, Nutrient rich dried fruits from the heart of africa

Pure, Nutrient rich dried fruits from the heart of africa

In 2015, two brothers received an unexpected phone call from their father: he was revisiting his homeland of Guinea for the first time in over 50 years, and rather than reminisce about his youth, he began instantly raving about having tasted “the most exquisite mango and pineapple on Earth!” In fact, even after an hour of talking, he couldn’t get over the mouthwatering flavors he had just experienced: “Everyone needs to try this!”…perhaps it was because, behind this exuberance was also the sad realization that Guinea’s native tropical fruits—like the majority of its prized harvests—were routinely laid to waste. It was this bittersweet mix of passionate excitement and devastation that eventually led to the pivotal question: “How do we bring these incredible flavors to the rest of the world?”…and so, the seeds of Tropicaux were planted.

Purpose: Every culture’s unique identity, expressed through the vibrancy of its people, the rhythm of its music, the beauty of its art, the elegance of its fashion, and the delight of its cuisine, enriches the tapestry of our collective human experience. In such spirit, we invite you to join us as we embark on a culinary trip back home into the heart and soul of Guinea. And by savoring our sun-dried treats, not only do we bring you a taste of Guinea’s rich heritage, but you also empower the Guinean farmers that harvest them. These farmers, guided by generations of wisdom, employ time-honored traditions to nurture their crops naturally…the finest Guinea has to offer. Each bite is a testament to that!
