Meal Prep Sunday – this time on Saturday!

This week’s meal prep doesn’t look like much, does it? Basically I made breakfast and lunch. I had to do it today, because I am leaving at o’dark thirty tomorrow morning to head to Tukwila (what! where?) to meet Illana Mulstein, RD! So exciting! She is the creator of the fabulous 2B Mindset program. 2B Mindset is great for people who suffer from emotional eating. It’s a super simple approach and perfect if you need flexibility and few rules! As a Certified 2B Mindset Mentor, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to meet her in person!

But, as you know, I am currently meal prepping under the Ultimate Portion Fix guidelines. It’s been a challenge to find things that I can eat on a daily basis (other than my beloved pre-workout meal!). This week, I am trying a couple new things on the menu:

Meal 1: shake, berries (pictured) and almond butter
Meal 2: post workout drink, fruit
Meal 3: Protein Packed Pumpkin Muffins
Meal 4: Fixate Easy Chicken Noodle Soup (pictured)
Meal 5: baby carrots, prepared humus
Meal 6: meat & veggies, seeds/dressing

Pre-workout meal: Yep, same old thing! I love it.

Meal 2: Post-workout drink and a fruit. I love the chocolaty taste of my recover drink and I definitely notice a difference when we run out. It helps combat exercise-induced muscle soreness, speed muscle recovery, support muscle growth, and restore your strength and is delicious with my go to fruits – apples, pears, or tangerines.

Meal 3: I am a big fan of muffin meals. So easy! These muffins are made with quinoa flakes, pumpkin puree, and yogurt. Last year, I made them with oats, but since I am allergic to oats, I am trying out the quinoa flakes… I’ll let you know! They smell divine! Like little pumpkin pies. I only made enough for 4 days, so I will have to make some more mid week. Luckily they only take about 10 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to bake. I need to stop at the store for some pumpkin seed butter to spread on them.

Meal 4: I was getting tired of deli meat sandwiches, so I thought I give soup a go this week. I like soup, and it will be easy to heat in the microwave at the office.

Meal 5: Baby carrots and hummus. Again, I was not a good snacker last week, and I still have 3 containers that I took the office but didn’t eat.

Meal 6: My little asked me tonight when we are going to have something that’s not steak, chicken or pork…. Uhm…. This weeks’ dinners are panko crusted rockfish (I made this a couple weeks ago and the family gobbled it up!), chicken with stir-fry veggies, hamburger on an eggplant bun (recipe from Fixate) (this was THE BOMB! – I loved it so much, I am making it again this week; Salmon with asparagus; taco salad; and pizza. I will make mine either with cauliflower crust, or I might go off plan and make a gluten free crust – I am definitely having a bit of cheese on it (don’t tell on me!).

That’s it until next week! I am totally getting in a groove on this whole meal prep thing. As Autumn likes to say, meal prep so you’re prepped.
