Monday In Meals (When I Didn’t Food Prep)

By

Hi, guys! Happy Hump Day!

Here’s the next edition of Monday In Meals, which just happens to be a “special” edition because I didn’t have much food prepped and ready to go this week. I was out-of-town and didn’t get my act together until late in the day on Monday… well, yesterday… sort of. I’m leaving for San Diego tomorrow afternoon, so I only did a little prep because I’m fairly positive Mal and Quinn will order food/wing it/not eat while I’m away. Anyway, here’s a recap of what I ate throughout the day on Monday when I didn’t meal prep. I also include some staples that I like to have in my kitchen when I’m unprepared and need a healthy meal ASAP! Would love to hear your favorites, too! 🙂

Monday In Meals_March 20

My favorite staples for QUICK & EASY meal prep:

  • ground meat (chicken, turkey, sausage, beef) <— cooks fast
  • frozen veggies
  • frozen shelled edamame
  • riced cauliflower or broccoli (both fresh and frozen)
  • canned tuna or salmon
  • eggs and liquid egg whites
  • high-protein pasta
  • sweet potatoes/potatoes <— a big batch of roasted potatoes will go in all sorts of meals throughout the week
  • buffalo sauce
  • avocado or guacamole
  • hummus
  • silicone non-stick baking mats <— not food, but life-changing for quick prep!

Question of the Day

What are your favorite staples for quick and easy meal prep?

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
