Kickin’ It with Lifestyle Blogger Cassie Freeman

As a working mom it may be hard to stick to a healthy lifestyle, but doing so is a great way to set an example for your kids. Luckily, we’re Kickin’ It with lifestyle blogger Cassie Freeman at Hi Sugarplum! She’s sharing some tips on how to balance food choices to achieve a healthy lifestyle for you and your family.

Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?

I want to teach my kids healthy habits and attitudes about themselves and food, and the best way is to live it myself.

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

I’m a working mom, so time is short more often than not. I’m guilty of pulling out a frozen pizza or mac & cheese at least once a week, but I’ll serve it with a green smoothie. I figure the spinach and fruit, with Greek yogurt, balances out the junky part of the dinner. #Rationalization

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

No foods are off limits completely because then we’ll just crave them more, which will lead to over-eating. I’m big on moderation.
