How often do you find yourself eating in the car? Whether it’s a road trip or the kid carpool, I’m constantly doing the grab and go thing! Some days I’ll remember to grab a healthy snack from the house, but candidly, many days, I’m stopping at a convenience store trying to make the best choice I can.

The vast majority of the time, I use my hand mixer, it’s easy to store, easy to clean and now even easier to use. This trick works especially well when something needs timed mixing AND it creates a built in splash guard 😉
