Happy Wednesday! We have halfway through the week…and my “meal prep” over the weekend is going strong! I know I will need to make up for a few items that are not going to last through Friday, but I am okay with that. Today’s eats are relatively representative of my meals for the week. Since I was out of town last weekend, I didn’t have a lot of time to prep – so the little time I spent prepping Sunday night and Monday morning was simple meals/snacks that could be combined with other items to make a full meal! Check out the other WIAW posts with Jenn, Arman, Meghan, and Laura – I enjoy checking out the other link ups for meal inspiration!
[morning drink] bullet proof coffee (Kerigold unsalted butter + coconut oil + coffee)
After I spent 6+ months making my little man’s purees, the Baby Bullet went virtually unused (and REALLY, the size of this processor was too small for most of the batches I made). NOW, this it is the PERFECT size for my bullet proof coffee (using the middle size setting on the Keurig)!
[drinks] 32 oz water x3 (at work) + 32 oz water (at home)
[breakfast] water + spinach + blueberries + vanilla protein powder
I made some smoothie packs a week or so ago and most of them are still in the freezer! I don’t use them as often as I would like because I get nervous that the Ninja is going to wake up the little guy upstairs…no bueno! I used both the Baby Bullet (bullet proof coffee – perfect size!) and the Ninja (smoothie) this morning without the little guy waking up 🙂
[morning snack] apple + Greek yogurt + quinoa
I like playing with the extra ingredients that I eat with my yogurt and fruit – sometimes I add granola, chia, hemp hearts – and today, the add was quinoa! I made a small batch this past weekend and it goes great with my morning snack!
[lunch] pork chop + roasted sweet potatoes + green beans
This is my go-to lunch for most of this week! The hubs made pork chops on Sunday and I still had some potatoes left over – BAM, leftover lunch = the best lunch if you ask me!
[workout] 4 mile run – easy, recovery run
52 minutes
Today is an easy, recovery run. I decided to use my lunch break for today’s workout – since it is an “easy” paced run. That, and I just dilly-dallied around this morning – cleaning dishes, moving laundry around…the usual.
[afternoon snack] mixed salad + cranberries/pumpkin seeds/dressing + hard boiled egg whites
While I usually crave sweets in the afternoon, I thought that a “sweet” salad would be a good, healthy compromise. I also have a bunch of eggs that I hard boiled on Sunday that I would like to eat!
[dinner] brautworst + mixed salad + dressing
Were you able to meal prep over the weekend? What is your favorite meal prep recipe?

Salad is made up of kale, Brussels sprouts, romaine, and the sweet is the cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and dressing 🙂

Hello! I am so glad I stumbled upon your blog today through the WIAW crew! When I used to have roommates, I always worried about waking them up using the blender. Sometimes I even made my smoothies in the bathroom!

Is a smoothie pack just the vegetables and fruit without the liquid?

Yep! I have thought about freezing yogurt in mini cupcake cups and adding them to the bags too 🙂

Great eats! I have been really trying to get into the meal prep routine…For my husband’s lunches at least! He’s horrible at eating packing his own 😉

Mine doesn’t pack one at all…I wish he would just eat what I make, but he says he isn’t a rabbit 🙂

That’s great! I need to find a way to at least prep sandwich meat/cheese/toppings separate from bread – he will eat sandwiches but complains about the bread getting “soggy” by lunchtime.

That’s interesting…does he have sandwiches without condiments? I’ve seen roll-ups (without bread) that I should do for my husband’s lunch (he wants to be Paleo).

I generally put mustard and mayo on his sandwiches…that doesn’t help with h the delayed sogginess…

Yeah…I can imagine a dry sandwich isn’t very good either though 😉
