When trying to manage a family and full time job, eating on the go is often easy. I know my family eats out way too much when I don't plan ahead. So Sundays I spend a good 2-3 hours in the kitchen prepping meals for the week. As the old saying says, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." So true.
Here is a quick run down of my meals planned and prepped for this week:
Breakfast:
Boiled 18 eggs
Baggies of pre - measured protein powder for shakes
Oatmeal scooped in containers with cinnamon and stevia
fruit sliced and diced for kiddos
Lunch:
lettuce, green peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes chopped for salad
Chicken diced, cooked and divided into containers
oil and vinegar for salad measured into containers
mango diced and divided into baggies
roasted sweet potatoes
Snacks:
carrots and snap peas washed and sliced
hummus measured into containers
apples sliced and soaked in salt water (keeps them from turning brown)
almonds divided out into baggies or container
Dinner:
turkey chili made
pre-made turkey meatloaf
pre washed and diced veggies for roasting
chicken thawed to throw in crockpot one day
will also thaw tilapia for one night this week
And that my friends, is how you meal prep. Those 2 -3 hours on a Sunday afternoon will save you tons of calories at the drive thru window, and it will leave you feeling healthy and accomplished!
