Own Your Everyday, Every Day with Quick, No-Brainer Snacking Solutions

California Almonds is building on its new campaign "Own Your Everyday, Every Day" by partnering with  Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Abby Langer. As a food blogger and contributor to publications like Self.com, Langer's claim to fame has been her funny, sharp-shooting style where she calls things as she sees them and avoids BS. To that end, Langer has worked with California Almonds to bring the daily decision-making process to life with a free online, interactive storytelling tool. The Own It with Abby Decision Tree allows users to take control of their day, mapping out their daily adventures and tasks with Langer providing motivational ways and tips to own it.

From pre-packing your gym bag the night before to writing down small, ownable goals for the week, daily success is attainable. "You don't need a master's degree in nutrition to make better food and lifestyle choices (though don't let my clients know this!)," says Langer. "No matter how time-crunched you are, you can always choose healthy snacks like almonds to own your day and keep making progress towards your larger goals."

Langer shares additional quick, simple tips to own it like:

• Take a break away from technology to refocus your day. Plan a break or two in your day, and write it into your schedule to make sure the time is protected.
• Keep a stash of satisfying snacks in your desk drawer, car, or otherwise nearby. This helps to avoid the temptation to eat whatever is around and make smart, planned choices. Almonds are a go-to because they don't get rotten or need refrigeration, and they have the protein, fiber and good fats you'll need to power through the day.
• Think you're too busy to cook dinner? Before you hit the drive-thru or the take-out, consider how easy, healthier and usually less expensive a one-pan meal is. You can sauté protein and veggies with olive oil, salt, minced garlic and pepper. Voilà!

Check out how your daily journey stacks up on the Own It with Abby Decision Tree, and then share the results and how you own your day by using #OwnYourEveryday.
