Meal Prep Anyone?

amaXing tip: Sub the rice for cauliflower rice for an even healthier meal choice!

One of the BIGGEST keys to success when creating this healthier lifestyle for you and your family is that sometimes scary monster in the closet that we call MEAL PREP

Why is meal prep so important to this lifestyle?

First and foremost, life happens and things arise in life and the last thing that you want to do is be left hungry without a healthy choice when you are on the go or just need a meal ready in 10 minutes because you want to make it to practice on time. Meal prepping is key to having pre-made meals that you can warm up in a few minutes that are actually healthy. Staying consistent with your diet will help the overall success of the lifestyle because you are going to eventually cut out the cravings and the detox symptoms that your body has to go through at the beginning in order to start feeling its optimum potential. Don't stop for that quick $1 sandwich that is going to leave you hungry and wanting more - have it readily at your fingertips in your refrigerator.

Where do you even start?

Grab your adds in the paper and figure out where your sales are to not only save you calories, but to save your wallet too! Plan your meals based around sales - make sure your meals are including a full balance of protein, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables and carbs.

Spend Sunday grilling or baking some lean protein and have plans with it (stir-fry, mongolian chicken, chicken fajita mix) - [You can make fajita mix and skip out on the tortilla - eat it just like it is or spread it over a bed of greens]

Grab some snack baggies at the store! - Put a variety of fresh veggies in the baggies, grapes and cheese, almonds and craisins. [switch it up, and be mindful of what you choose that has more sugar - do every other day, so your body isn't having sugar withdrawals]

Low carb meal prep ideas are everywhere!
