My Favorite Meal Prep Items

I admit I do love meal prep. I only am forced to think about food 1 time per week. It makes it possible to get that extra time to workout everyday, get homework done, and spend time with my daughter without cooking every night.

If you're not yet meal prepping, I urge you to start! It will change the way your mind thinks about food and when you plan each meal, you are more likely to make those choices that create change!

Paleo Chocolate and Banana Pancakes:

Now, since I don not follow a Paleo diet, I do not mind changing some ingredients. I usually use either regular coconut milk or almond milk if that is all I have. I also do not buy coconut palm sugar, so I simply add some vanilla extract.

Ingredients:

• 2 small bananas, about 1 cup
• 2 eggs
• 5 tablespoons full fat coconut milk
• 1¼ cup almond flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar
• ⅓ cup ground almonds
• pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon (or more) chocolate chips
• butter for frying

Method:

1. in a medium bowl smash the bananas and mix with the 2 eggs and coconut milk
2. in a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking soda, salt, coconut sugar, ground almonds and chocolate chips
3. combine the dry ingredients with the wet
4. heat the butter in the pan and cook the batter on both sides

Recipe makes about eight 4-inch pancakes

This is an easy one but a great protein item I eat everyday,

Salad:

This is my quick go to

Ingredients:

Spinach
Whole Grain Pasta
Nitrate Free Turkey (Deli)
Broccoli

Tip: Prep a whole box (or half depending on macros) of pasta for the week so you always have it cold and ready. I always eat the pasta cold (so yummy!)
