Meal Prep Day!

One day a week (typically Sunday afternoons) I do a major meal prep that will get us set up for success to sticking with clean eating and daily busy lives! I like to switch things up a little bit each week so we don't get burnt out on the same foods over and over. Here is an example Meal Prep Day list of foods/recipes:

Turkey Meatballs from the Fixate Cookbook

(These are great to add to salads, open faced sandwiches or even just to dip in marinara or mustard!)

Veggie Egg Cups: 

These are from the 21 Day Fix Nutrition Guide and a favorite of mine! 

Click here to watch the video made my Autumn on how she makes these :)

Sweet Potatoes:

I love to bake 3-4 sweet potatos each meal prep day and store them in a Tupperware container. I will use them part of my lunches, or for a quick dinner item if needed.

Hard Boiled Eggs:

These are so versatile. You can eat them on their own as a snack, Chop them up and put them in a salad, or make an open faced Egg Salad Sandwich! I boil a doze eggs each meal prep day. This is usually my go to "On the Go" snack. I will stick 1 in a bag, sprinkle a little paprika on it and head out the door! *Tip: 2 hard boiled eggs equals 1 red container

Sauteed Veggies:

Also great for quick lunches on the go. I will add them to some brown rice, eat them as a side or they are also great to add to a quick dinner night too. 

*Tip: This is a GREAT way to not waste your veggies! The night before grocery shopping day I like to grab as many veggies from the ridge as possible and sautee them all together in a nice big yummy pot! I'll add a little extra virgin olive oil, some seasoning and store them in a container in the fridge. We save money each week doing this!

Raw Sliced Veggies:

I do these more for my Husband, but we both use these! I make ziplock baggies of sliced peppers, carrots, and celery. This is super quick and easy to do.

Other things I like to prep in bulk:

-Pre measured out bags of seeds/nuts: Cashews, pumpkin seeds, almonds. *Tip:I take a black sharpie and write out the container serving size on the bag so I know for tracking :)

-Brown Rice

- Quinoa

The Kids like to help :) As you can see, taking everything out of the kitchen bottom cupboards is very helpful. haha.
