The meals shared here are great for lunches, or just snacks
to keep in the fridge to grab when you are hungry. Most of us want to eat
healthy, but when it comes down to it quick & easy usually takes the cake
(no pun intended)
By planning ahead, you will make it easier to choose healthy
throughout your week. I like to prep on Sundays for the following work week. It’s
great for me because I can just grab these in the morning before work instead
of hitting up a fast food chain or crap lunch while in a hurry.
This week’s meals include:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Carrots
Hummus (portioned out lunch packs)
Hard Boiled Eggs
Jumbo Cashews
Fiesta Salad (click here for recipe)
Cottage Cheese
String Cheese

Not each day is the same, but the same general choices for throughout the week.
I like to spread out the “lunch” through my entire day. For example, once I
finish task A, I treat myself to the fiesta salad. Task B, the egg, and so on.
Makes my day go by a lot faster J
I bought my portion trays from Target, because they have a
great selection right now for back-to-school season. I bought a few different
sizes/types because I like to have as much variety as I can
If you are making the fiesta salad – one batch divides up
perfectly. I like to do an egg for each day as well. If you would like to know
how to hard boil eggs just comment below and I will share my method! Veggies
& Hummus are great munchies for throughout the day, and the cashews are a
great way to feet full.
Have you ever prepped out meals before? If so, what were
some tips and tricks that you picked up on?

Simply take the label off a small container, like a 5 hour energy or little plastic wine container and use it to transport your salad dressing so your salad tastes fresh!

what a great idea. I need to do this for me as I do not feel like cooking when I work. Thanks Slice of Sunday. Keep it coming~
ReplyDeleteDid you prep any meals yet?
Deletewhat brand are the divided containers?
ReplyDeleteI have 5 different brands/types of them, but they were all purchased at Target. I also make it a point to get containers that are freezable, microwavable and BPS free :)
DeleteBPA***
DeleteWhat about the avocados turning brown? I know the lime help some but how long do they last?
ReplyDeleteThe lime does help, you are right. My containers are sealed shut, so that also helps it last a bit. The coloring actually wasn't a huge probably with me. The only thing I would change for the future is letting it sit out on my desk or something an hour before eating. The avocado wasn't as soft as I like it to be after sitting in the fridge for days, so my only note would be to let it sit out (still sealed int he container) an hour before eating. Lemon can help too!!
DeleteThis is a great idea! I love to meal plan dinners, but usually just grab leftovers for lunch. I will be on the look out for those divided containers now. Fabulous! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow do you hard boil your eggs?
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I'm going to be fasting from meat for lent and decided to use the opportunity to really eat clean. I have been looking for a good meat-less meal prep post and this is perfect. Do you have any suggestions for dinner as well?
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! I just spent 3 hours prepping for the coming week (breakfasts and lunches). I am envious of those who have the time and money to eat out healthfully - even once a day! Until then, I'll be packing ;)
