What Meal Prep looks like.

This is what a good meal prep looks like. The top of the tower is a red apple for a snack. Then my "Holy Sweet Balls, Batman!" that I made on Sunday. The recipe is posted here. The red contianer is filled with this sunday's meal prep "Grilled Spicy Zucchini". You can find the recipe here. Which can be eaten hot or cold and since I ate it hot yesterday today it will be cold and on top of a bed of fresh spinach from my garden. I just made this prep into an amazing salad!

I also make a green smoothie every morning for breakfst. This is today's smoothie which the recipe will be posted after this blog post!

 

Meal Prep 24 Jun 13

My lunch was totally prepped on sunday. I will be posting the recipe for the Broccoli and Cheddar soup which is in the contianer on the bottom of the stack. The middle is spinach salad with chick peas, cheese, and broccoli. Then the top is just cut up watermelon with some salt. Then a nectarine, apple, and banana. This is another award winning lunch. Love it! How do you meal prep?

I need something sweet and good for my body

I have been feening for something sweet lately and looking at making good for the good alternatives. Today has to be one of the best sweet foods I have made in a while besides those amazing energy balls. This was super easy to make as well. Are you ready for your sweet taste buds to be satisfied?

Easy Now Sweetie: 

1 1/3 cups of halved strawberries
1 1/2 tablespoon of ricotta cheese
and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup

Cut the strawberries in half as stated above. Place into a container. Then add the ricotta cheese and maple syrup. I shake the container gentle when the lid was on to mix the ingredients. That's it. Enjoy!

Meal Prep Sunday 15 Apr 13

 

On Saturday I was sitting cruising facebook trying to decide how much my body wanted to do since it was hit hard with a cold or as my co-worker likes to call it: The Bionic Plague. I was really deciding to take a long hard nap when my phone rang. Picked up that damn phone to find out that the Cooking Class I signed up for started and I was tardy. So I brushed my teeth and headed out the door sickness and all. Heck, I paid twenty dollars to get my cooking on. Boy, am I glad I went because one of the recipes we learned because my Meal Prep for the whole week. It is called 'Salad in a Jar' and the recipe is by  Kelly Wisner. Who is an amazing woman. She is so passionate about food and the bees that we get along quite well. If you haven't had a chance to do any of the classes then let me tell you, you are missing out. Check them out here. You won't be disappointed and you will learn how to cook vegan and raw foods!

 

 

Salad in a Jar
by Kelly Wisner

Dressing Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Tahini Butter (or any nut butter)
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinager
1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
1/2 tablespoon of Soy Sauce (next I will be using Miso)
Ginger to taste

Salad Ingredients:
Snap Peas
Tomatoes
Beans
Red Pepper
Red Onion
Feta Cheese

Mix all the dressing ingredients in a blender. Chop all the veggies or fruits that you want in your salad. I actually chopped up all the ingredients listed in the salad ingredients section. Then leave over night in the fridge or use that day. Just pour over some greens and you have a meal fit for a Green Goddess!

HINT: Freeze your ginger and then just grate it. It comes out like powder and stays fresher longer.



 

Meal Prep Sunday

I had to do an easy meal prep on Sunday. I really had limited time with drills this weekend and loads of orders to process out from my small cosmetics business. I had to think of something till about Thursday. I decided to make a soup and salad combo for  the week!

I heated the stove and started to boil water for eggs. I love me some hard boiled eggs in my salad or mixed with greek yogurt and mustard on a tortilla wrap.

While I waited for the eggs to boil for 30 minutes I then proceeded to chop up zucchini and garlic.

 I started my other burner to make some quinoa quick. Once the quinoa was cooked. I placed the zucchini, garlic, and quinoa into little plastic 'soup bowls'.

 

Here is the quick and easy part of the meal prep. I didn't make the soup base by hand instead I whipped out my trusty Trader's Joe soup in a box mix. I only have a few left since Trader Joes is about a 2 hour drive away from where I currently live.

 

I poured the soup into the little 'soup bowls' I had and BAM I have soup for the next 4 days!

 

 

Now that is super fast meal prepping for the about 4 days. I will figure out what I will do for the 5th day of work.

 

I also cut the eggs and place them in my salad with sesame seeds and sweet pepper and a side of mangoes. I actually can't wait to eat lunch today!
