Good morning!! For the past few months most Sundays I've been meal prepping my power lunches for the week! I usually make 3-6 servings. I share servings with my gentlemen when I make six. When I eat the meal I usually add more fresh greens and avocado. So I portion about 1-1/2 cups in each meal. I recommend making yourself only three lunches at a time. I've found it gives me wiggle room for less food waste. If a change in lunch plans occurs I'm not locked into a meal that day

One of my most important meals is breakfast! When I eat my power breakfast I feel full longer and energized! I've tried various breakfasts and this one works best for my body.

Howdy and happy hump day! I have another quick hit!!! To finish off my lunch today I was craving something sweet! To curb my desire for chocolate I decided a dessert salad would be a healthier option. As a base I used arugula and baby greens. Then I topped the greens with: blueberries, coconut flakes, kiwi 🥝 sugar snap peas and lemon vinaigrette! Delicious and nutritious while satisfying my desire for a sweet treat! Happy munching!
