Great for any occasion, and a very simple recipe to follow
Supplies Needed:
Cheesecake
Chocolate (any kind)
Cheesecake
Chocolate (any kind)
Wax Paper
Cookie Sheet
You are more than welcome to make your own cheesecake from scratch, but I just bought one from Walmart that had 4 different types in it
Begin by spooning out the cheesecake and rolling little balls, placing them on a cookie sheet
Once you have used up all the cheesecake, place in the fridge for 1-3 hours
Once they feel firm, take them out and melt your chocolate
*There are many ways to melt chocolate, I prefer the microwavable packets because it doesn't harden as quickly
Take a small spoon and drop a cheesecake ball into the chocolate, cover it with more chocolate and then use the spoon to pull it out and drop it on wax paper (on the cookie sheet)
If you are adding sprinkles or frosting, now is the time
Repeat this until every ball is covered in chocolate, and then put back in the fridge for an hour
And there you have it!

Looking to cut out that daily coffee or energy drink? Preparing smoothies is the healthiest and easiest way to do so. You can prep up to 2 weeks worth of breakfast smoothies so that all you have to do in the morning is pour it into the blender and go!
Prepare your breakfast smoothies today for a great week of energy.
Supplies needed:
Blender
Apples
Pineapple
Blueberries
Strawberries
Peaches
Bananas
Grapes
Raspberries
Spinach
Blender
Apples
Pineapple
Blueberries
Strawberries
Peaches
Bananas
Grapes
Raspberries
Spinach
any additional fruit or vegetables as well! Such as carrots, celery, lemons, oranges, or limes
You will also need juice of some sort. I like to use the Simply Apple, but any juice will do.
Simply rinse, chop, and divide up between bags.
The amount depends on the amount of days you are prepping for. But to give you an example, for one morning...my bag contained half of a banana, a few chunks of pineapple, a few strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. 1/3 of a diced up peach and apple, and a large hand full of spinach.
A great pairing with your smoothie is an omelette with diced up peppers. By prepping the peppers ahead of time, breakfast can be quick and simple all week while still remaining nutritious. Clean eating at it's best!
OTHER SMOOTHIE IDEAS:
3/4 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/4 cup chopped fennel bulb
handful of frozen green grapes
1/2 an avocado
1/2 a lemon, peeled and seeded
1 Tbsp hemp hearts
1 cup filtered water, or as desired
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries with cherries (cherries optional)
1 scoop vanilla rice protein powder
1 tbsp almond butter
2 handfuls spinach
couple leaves of kale
1 tsp spirulina or green powder of your choice
1/4 cup of cubed cucumber
1/2 cup pineapple
1 inch cube of fresh ginger
1 - 2 tsp maple syrup
5 medium sized mint leaves
1 Tbsp hemp hearts
1 cup water
1 green apple (core removed)
1 inch chunk of cucumber
2 tsp raw unpasteurized honey (or more to taste)
½ inch knob of ginger, peeled (and grated)
1 Tbsp hemp hearts
5 mint leaves
3-4 ice cubes
1-1½ cup of unsweetened almond milk (or water or another kind of milk!)

Meal prepping can be a great way to stay healthy while still
maintaining your busy lifestyle
2.jpg)
^^ "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
.jpeg)
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
.JPG)
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?
