Now that I'm back from my visit home, Meal Prep must ensue again! Although I didn't take a break from it completely while I was at home, I still cut up my cucumbers, made my oats and prepped my starches and veggies for the week. I just didn't have to worry about meats or thinking of meal ideas, I left all that to my mama! ANYWAY, enough rambling and onto the prep!
Chicken x 4 and Salmon
Other Prep Essentials
Broiled "Grilled" Chicken Breast
(Credit for this GENIUS idea goes to the lovely Ellie from Fit for the Soul)
(Make sure your oven rack is in the right spot for broiling, typically 1 or 2 down from the top!)
2. Place chicken strips/pieces on pan
3. Sprinkle chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic, rub thoroughly
4. Cook for ten minutes, flip over, cook for another 7
(This can vary depending on thickness of your chicken)
5. Test if chicken is done by removing one piece, cutting in half and checking for pink
Meal Ideas for the Week:
Broiled "Grilled" Chicken Egg-White Wrap
Make a wrap out of eggs whites, stuff with chicken, kale, and Go Veggie cheese. Serve quinoa on the side, or stuff into wrap as well.
Teriyaki Salmon with Lazy Fried Quinoa
Prepare Lazy Fried Quinoa, add in Green Beans, and Salmon
Italian Spaghetti Squash Skillet
Quinoa Salad
Take any protein, add to quinoa, along with kale or other leafy greens, add dressing of choice, eat warm or cold. Optional Add Ins: Almond Slivers, Dried Fruit, Other Veggies, if eating cold- grapes!
