Meal prepping can be a great way to stay healthy while still maintaining your busy lifestyle


^^ "Like" on Facebook for updates, tips & tricks


Whether you’re a mom hoping to create healthier habits for your kids, or the student working crazy hours, or that person that is just always on the go…meal prepping will benefit you


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?

^^This is how I store my salad dressing
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!
