Hi friends!
I had several requests on IG to talk about more nutrition related topics (my favorite!!) and will happily oblige as much as I possibly can. If you have anything specific, please let me know.
Today I thought I’d share what Tim and I meal prepped yesterday for the week ahead. In full disclosure, I failed at taking photos so today you get a written overview.
The biggest struggle we have in our house is Tim’s lunch. We both aren’t into high-stress mornings, but they can quickly escalate to chaos if lunches are basically already prepped and ready to grab-n-go. He’s also not a big fan of snacking (…I don’t get it either…) so lunches need to be satisfying! In addition, my teaching schedule is all over the place, so some nights I can spend more time in the kitchen to prepare dinner while others need to be quick and easy.
Taking all of this into account, here’s what we prepped for the week:
- Hard boiled eggs (great high-protein add to breakfast, lunch, or snacks)
- Salmon stir fry over rice (a veggie and protein-packed lunch option)
- Roasted chicken (for lunch salads/wraps for Tim)
- Broccoli salad (delicious lunch side)
- Roasted veggies (for lunches/dinners)
- Started to soak pinto beans for tomorrow’s burrito dinner
Dinners this week:
- M – pizza with roasted veggies
- T – bean burritos with sauteed kale
- W – falafel pitas with hummus, spinach, and feta
- TH – Banza pasta (yes!) with creamy marinara (blend some soaked cashews with a little water, then stir into your favorite marinara – so good!)and roasted veggies
- F – leftovers!
What are you eating this week?
Make it a great one, my friends!
