What I’m Loving Lately 123

Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a fabulous week! If you haven’t signed up yet, I FINALLY created a weekly round-up email of recent CNC blog posts . Now you can get a recap of what happened on the blog delivered right to your inbox. It’s just one email per week! Just sign up here ! I like the Thursday edition of “ What I’m Loving Lately” , so I think it’ll become a regular weekly feature. They’re fun for me to write and you guys really seem to enjoy them, so let’s keep ’em alive and publish them on Thursdays. Boom. Decision made! 🙂 That way, you still have a random blog post surprise coming to you on Fridays. I like that I can switch it up from week-to-week and keep you guys guessing! Haha!

I just received it the other day and, OMG, it’s incredible! I can see myself using this ALLTHETIME!!! M

We’re in full on back-to-school mode over here – and that also means we’re back on the meal-prep train. If summer is busy, I’m inclined to say fall is even busier.

This means that dinner needs to be something I can get on the kitchen table in no time – and if I can prep it beforehand, even better!  I’m always on the hunt for tasty meals that will last throughout the week, but don’t require a ton of effort.

Brighten Up Eats

Nothin’ like a smoothie to brighten up a rainy day! Sub-Zero Superfoods sent me a sample pack of their blend-at-home smoothies. They’re similar to Daily Harvest in that they put pre-portioned, superfood ingredients into a frozen cup delivered to your doorstep and you just add milk and blend when you’re ready to eat. They offer a great variety of options too – some with rice protein, low sugar, collagen for all you collagen peeps, bowls with granola included (that’s what I have above!) and some with greens.

Mazen loves the chocolate-peanut butter-banana combo so I make those for his breakfast the majority of the time. (Usually plus a slice of whole wheat toast.) He often only drinks half the smoothie for breakfast and I save the rest for later. And sometimes I finish his half eaten toast with my smoothie! Granola on top of this one. Yogurt, nectarin
