Prep

Looking for some additional meal ideas and ways to prepare ahead for the week? Here's an easy week of meals that you can prep on Sunday. Yes, you'll eat the same few things over and over for the week, but let's be honest... don't we do that anyway? This is a healthy, easy prep plan!! More to come...

* MOST MEAL PREP OPTIONS ARE FOR 1 PERSON. IF MAKING FOR MORE, SIMPLY MULTIPLY THE AMOUNTS

*IF YOUR WEEKS ARE EXTRA BUSY, I RECOMMEND PUTTING MEALS IN TUPPERWARE AND HAVING IT ALL READY BY SUNDAY NIGHT. PUT SNACKS IN BAGGIES OR TUPPERWARE TOO, THEN LABEL 'MONDAY', 'TUESDAY' ... ETC.

*MAKE SUNDAYS YOUR 'MEAL PREP' DAY!

Here are some pictures of my preps for week one...

Steel cut berry oatmeal. I'll scoop out 1C each morning and warm it with a little almond milk. I also love to mix in 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder OR 1/2 plain Greek yogurt with some cinnamon.

Banana Coconut Energy Balls - MY FAVORITE snack!!! Check recipe page!!

Grilled chicken, on a cast iron skillet (we put it on top of our grill). Sprinkled with a little sea salt, pepper & oregano. I'm also grilling another batch that's marinated in low-sugar teriyaki (only 2 grams of sugar per TBSP). I'll use these for salads, wraps & on brown rice w/ veggies. 

A bunch of asparaus on the skillet now (hubby is grilling it for me, yay). Sea salt, pepper & 1/2TBSP olive oil. Also great on salads & wraps...plus it's a family fav for a healthy side!

Got a box of these yummy bars for quick snacks. I ALWAYS have one (or two) in my purse. My son loves them too!!! Way better than sugary bars!
