Recently, I’ve had many “Teach Me Your Ways” requests from fellow boss moms. OF COURSE! I am ready to share my favorite mom secrets with you. Whether they are life hacks, lessons learned, or awesome products that keep me motivated, moving, and sometimes sane, I am here to help you too feel like the rock star mom we all aspire to be. That’s the dream, right? To rock every facet of mommyhood, and to look and feel good doing it!

We’ve all heard the benefits of a high-fiber diet: lowered cholesterol, controlled blood sugar levels, reduced risk for strokes, regularity, and even weight management. The best sources of fiber are from beans, whole grains, nuts, and raspberries, but let’s face it—busy moms don’t always make these food choices a priority. Truth be told, I’ve been known to eat the remnants of my kids’ turkey sandwiches and countless French fries from their plates (and moms, I know you’re guilty of it too!)

Say hello to Metamucil! Life hack. Awesome product. Tried, tested, and approved during my recent Metamucil 2-week challenge (which you can still sign up for.) Each serving offers 2.4 grams of soluble fiber, and you can take up to three servings a day. That’s 7.2 grams of fiber! Mixing it into a drink is a lot easier than preparing a high-fiber meal. You could even use some fiber supps instead! So when your kids’ leftover turkey sandwich is the only option, no sweat! You can easily supplement with a single pack on the go.

For the busy mom who practically lives out of her car, here are some tips to get your fiber in, no matter how jam-packed your schedule might be.

Kids Sports

Whether you’ve got nine innings to kill in the sun, or hours to spend sitting on the sidelines, you can be certain that hummus and pita bread are not on the ballpark menu. All you need to do is just pour a Metamucil Sugar Free Orange Fiber Single into your ice cold water, and enjoy!

Backstage at Dance Practice

There’s no time for snacking when mommy-turned-stylist has a job to do. From packing the car with all her dance gear to costume changes and quick hair fixes between numbers, I’m lucky if I remember to breathe. Keeping a couple single packs in my purse has saved me, and it only takes a second to mix the Metamucil into my drink.

During a Workout

For sanity and centering, I squeeze in a hot yoga session or head to the gym at least a couple times a week. It’s easy to prep that water bottle for your next workout by filling it with Metamucil. It’s genius to get your hydration and fiber fix at the same time!

Walking Fido

Enjoying an afternoon snack while you’re walking your dog can make life a little sweeter! Try adding in a serving of Metamucil next time and your body will thank you. I know mine sure has!

Happy Hour

Busy days don’t always involve kids’ activities. Friends and husbands need us, too! For a late afternoon or early evening refresher, raise a glass and enjoy a tropical juice spritzer with a spoonful of Metamucil powder. Fiber has never tasted so fun.

Moral of my first “Teach Me Your Ways” story? Consistency is key, and Metamucil can do wonders. The trick is to keep a couple singles packets in your car or purse and mix it in your water bottle. Get your fluid and fiber intake no matter where you are! With each foot moving forward on this unpaved road they call “motherhood,” it’s important to take care of your digestive health so you too can relish in all the in-between. I encourage you to give Metamucil a try- and what better way than signing up for the Two-Week Challenge I took part in two weeks ago?!
