We had the pleasure of talking with Jennifer Medeiros for this week’s edition of “Kickin’ It With Cascade Ice.” Jennifer is a  healthy living advocate,  popular Mommy blogger and owner of the Makobie Scribe website. Read her healthy living tips, below! 

Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?

Healthy Living is important to me because it improves the quality of your life and the life of your family. With a greater quality of life comes happiness, and isn’t happiness all we strive for in life?

Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?

My Uncle and Grandma have been eating healthy, organically and preservative-free for over 40 years. They started before living healthy was even popular. It was definitely a serious commitment!

What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?

I like to grab raw fruit and veggies when I’m short on time.

Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?

Make one change at a time. No matter how small the effort, it still counts!  It’s the best way to start  improving your life.

Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?

Celery! I never was and never will be a fan.

In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?

Getting adequate sleep and regular exercise are very important. Even if you don’t have time for a full fitness routine, get up and walk a few laps around your house. It will help improve your overall wellness!

What is your favorite Cascade Ice flavor and why?

I love the Pina Colada mixer. I can drink it plain, with juice or with rum. I have never met a coconut I didn’t like.
