Meal Prep Monday!

Happy Monday everyone!! I know Monday is a tough day to get through to begin with and then to add on MEAL PREPPING!!?? I know it SOUNDS overwhelming... but that's why I'm here to help!! And make your life that much easier so you don't need to stress out about living a healthy lifestyle and you can just LIVE IT! 
Just remember the 2 P's.. PLAN & PREP! I've included a meal prep planner and grocery store list(s) for you to make things SUPER easy~ 
SO, 1. PLAN - Pick a day that works best for you to plan what you will be eating for the week, make a list, go food shopping AND prep it as soon as you get home! So many times we take all this time out to plan what we want to eat, go food shopping and buy all our healthy foods and then... it rots in our fridge (I know I'm GUILTY of this) and what a waste!! That is why...
2. PREP - prep all that fresh food as soon as you get home so none of it goes to waste and everything is all ready for you to grab & go! You are less likely to eat junk or get off track if your clean eats are accessible and ready for you to eat!
*Wash your fruits & veggies; cut them up & portion them out in Ziploc bags or Tupperware for snacks on the go
*Cook your meats so they are all ready for you to heat up quickly and easily
*At the very least you can marinate your meats in big Ziploc bags for dinner if you don't have the time or energy to cook everything all at once. Label the bags for what day you'll be cooking that meal to make things even EASIER
*Cook your pasta or rice and portion that out by meal as well... You can use a dry erase marker to label (and re-label) your tupperware
*Add a little olive oil to your pasta so that it doesn't stick together as much while being stored in the fridge
*Hard boil a big pot of eggs so you have them prepped also for a quick and easy snack! (I usually only hard boil about half of my carton of eggs and keep the other for cooking eggs so I label either the carton or mark the eggs themselves with a marker so I know which are which.. if you are feeling super motivated you can pre peel your eggs. I envy any of you that have the time to add that extra effort in!
**Most importantly.. do what works for YOU and YOUR lifestyle. Whether you like to prep everything all at once or the night before or whatever it is.. do what is BEST for YOU!! Enjoy guys! 💜 xox
