Spicing up Your Winter Wellness
Winter has really been trying to slow us down. But as the mornings get brighter and that first little hint of spring starts flirting at 7:00 a.m., it’s officially time to shake off the heavy energy and step into Winter Wellness, ¡Yo Quiero! style.
Because we’re not hibernating…we’re marinating for the sun ahead. 🌶️❄️☀️
What does that mean?
We’re keeping the cozy.
We’re working through the slump.
And we’re spicing everything up.
So, here’s your fun, flavorful guide to finishing winter strong.
Fitness: Hot Girls (and Guys) Walk in Winter 🔥
If you’re waiting for 75° and sunshine to start moving again, you’re definitely not alone. But consider us your friendly accountability bestie here to remind you that you don’t have to wait for perfect weather to start feeling good. There are plenty of cozy, winter-friendly ways to ease back into movement right now.
Winter-friendly fitness is all about working with the season, not against it:
- Treadmill walks while catching up on your comfort show… or casually getting inspired by those Olympic athletes 👀
- Hot yoga so you get out of the house, but leave feeling glowing, grounded, and basically impervious to the winter chill
- Strength training in your living room, where the dress code is whatever you want, the playlist is elite, and your post-workout snack is approximately six steps away in the kitchen
- Sauna sessions because we love a full-body reset moment
- Kitchen dance breaks while the queso warms… truly no explanation needed
Movement doesn’t have to be intense. It just has to be consistent. Even 20 minutes shifts your energy from “blanket burrito” to “functional human.”
Fuel: Save Your Energy for Fitness. Healthy Can Be Convenient. ⏲️
Wellness works best when it’s easy, and our biggest goal is making better-for-you eating attainable.
Some of our favorite flavor + functions hacks: add Guacamole or Mashed Avocado to egg salad, toast, wraps, or grain bowls. Always pack a Grab & Go! cup to zhuzh up even the saddest of desk lunches.
- Guacamole has healthy fats and fiber = steady energy
- Salsa on everything = micronutrient boost and instant personality
- Bean dip? #fibermaxxing queen unlocked
- And yes, even queso and white dips have their place when they help you eat more veggies and protein
Because wellness without flavor? Absolutely not. Healthy doesn’t mean bland. It means balanced.
Family Routine: Taco Night Is Self-Care 🌮
Winter moods are real. Less light can mean lower energy, and sometimes we all need a little lift.
Start simple:
- Get outside for 15 minutes (yes, even if it’s cold)
- Move your body for 30 intentional minutes
- Eat balanced meals with protein + healthy fats
- Put your phone down at the table
And most importantly? Gather. Your family. Your friends. Your Community.
Have a weekly/monthly low-pressure connection moment (weekly for your immediate home and monthly for your other people). Movie night. Admin night (we’re obsessed with this new trend). A casual sip-and-dip sesh. Nothing lifts a mood like setting a big bowl of guacamole or warm queso on the table and saying, “Dig in.” Sharing food creates connection. Connection boosts mood. And suddenly? We’re back.✨
For your immediate family, winter is actually the perfect time to lock in routines before spring schedules get chaotic. Try a weekly taco board night where everyone builds their own masterpiece. On the daily, set out after-school snack boards with veggies and dips. Make slow Saturday breakfast tacos a tradition. Take evening walks now that sunset is fashionably late. See how it all comes together?
Keeping staples like guacamole, salsa, queso, and sour cream dips on hand turns everyday meals into something worth sitting down for.
And sitting down together? That’s the real wellness flex.
