No two days look the same for Gaby Dalkin, but most follow a familiar rhythm: get everyone fed, get out the door, fit in a workout, handle work, and make it back home in time for dinner. It’s full, a little hectic, and always centered around food, with a few On the Go essentials making it easier to move from one part of the day to the next.
Here’s what that actually looks like, start to finish.

Get Out the Door
The day starts early with breakfast for the kids and coffee for Gaby (a non-negotiable). It goes straight into her On the Go Travel Mug so it stays hot while everything else is happening.
Next up: packing lunch. Today it’s a simple pasta salad, packed into the On the Go Lunch Box. It’s easy, holds up well, and kid-approved.

Once lunches are packed, it’s water bottle, coffee, backpacks, and out the door for school drop-off.
Move, Then Refuel
After drop-off, it’s time for a workout. Some days that means the gym, other days it’s at home, but it’s always part of the routine. The On the Go Water Bottle comes along for all of it. Afterward, there’s usually a quick snack – something packed earlier in the Food Jar so it’s ready to go without much thought.
Work Mode
From there, it’s into work mode. That might mean a lunch meeting in the city or checking on the progress at her newly-opened Gaby's at Neighborly Brentwood location. Some days are more structured than others, but they all revolve around food. Either way, it’s a chance to sit down (even briefly), try something new, and keep things moving.
Back on Mom Duty
Afternoons are all about pickup and getting to the next thing: soccer practice, activities, errands – you name it. Snacks, or an afternoon matcha in the Travel Mug, are usually involved, and having something prepared ahead of time makes it a lot easier.
Dinner at Home
By the time everyone’s back home, it’s straight to dinner. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but it’s always something worth sitting down for. The kitchen gets a quick reset afterward, lunches are mentally planned for the next day, and then it’s on to bedtime routines.
And then… it starts all over again.
Inspiration for Life On the Go
No two days are exactly the same, which is why having a few go-to ideas makes packing and planning that much easier. Whether it’s a quick workout snack, a school lunch, or something to bring along for an afternoon out, a little prep goes a long way.
Think of each piece in the On the Go collection as a starting point. The Travel Mug keeps coffee or matcha within reach. The Lunch Box makes it easy to pack a balanced meal. The Food Jar is ideal for snacks that need to stay warm or cold. And the Water Bottle is always along for the ride.
