Trying to balance a healthy life along with work and school can become a challenge. At first, many of us can build a strategy that we think will work for us, but come Friday, dinner plans involving cocktails and appetizers can wreck the plan. Finding a plan that works for you is most important, if you know you cant keep up the healthy eating on the weekend, try to incorporate a cheat day or meal.
Recently my boyfriend and I have been on the meal prepping train. At first what seemed like a waste of time became the best use of time for us. During the work week we typically didn't have time to make a lunch that was healthy so we opted for buying lunch at the work cafeteria or going out. We soon began to see the toll this was taking on our bodies, and our bank account.
Our meal preps are simple, we pick two recipes and we make enough for Mon- Thurs for lunch and dinner. We typically pick chicken and a beef, which we pair with various veggies and salads. Here is a Chicken Salad Recipe which we love, give it a try! Even if you aren't on the health band wagon, you can simply meal prep to save you some time and money which can go a long way!

ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Meal prep is a must to feel good and not break the bank. I usually cook enough on Sundays to have lunch all week too.
ReplyDeleteI love Mediterranean. Thank you for sharing this great recipe!
Its delicious, hope you try it out!
DeleteGreat ideas! It seems like it doesn't take much to get derailed from a healthy eating plan during nights out or over the weekends. Planning and prepping meals for the week on Sundays works out well for us too.
