A Stronger Tomorrow

Meal planning and prepping can be exhausting. I haven't prepped anything today and we had take out for dinner. So.... I raided the freezer for a few extras. I think I have 2 different kinds of meatballs, pancakes and soup. This will help me get through tomorrow.

Sticking with healthy eating while being out of town can be so challenging. Recently, I traveled for a workshop over a long weekend. I did not want to eat out every meal because I was just on vacation the week before. So I packed breakfast and lunch for 3 days. It was a lot of prep but so worth it.

I had stuffed peppers for 2 lunches and a turkey hamburger for my 3rd lunch. I added crackers, fruit and vegetables to each lunch.

For breakfast, I had cereal, fruit, flax seeds, protein shake and coffee every morning. It was easy.

One dinner I went to PhoReal and had
a Banh Mi bowl. So pretty and delicious. The other dinners I went to whole foods and bought their entree and 2 sides meal deal.

Food for the weekend backpacking.
This morning breakfast included 7 layer dip with rice.

7 layer dip - black beans, peppers, spinach, salsa, ground beef, cheese, green chillies and seasoning. On the side Tostitos scoops because it's a fun way to eat the dip.

Meal plan for this week.

I don't love cooking but I love having healthy good food available. Since, I meal prepped yesterday this morning it was easy to heat up quiche and a cheddar protein biscuit. For a well rounded meal, I added a kiwi.
