What I Ate Thursday – Including a Fun Happy Hour

Image
Hi, guys! I love a good “ what I ate in a day ” blog post because I love seeing what other people eat because it gives me ideas for my own meals and snacks. Truthfully, today wasn’t my most “perfect” day of eating, but that’s totally okay. Everyday doesn’t need to be perfectly curated and calculated to be healthy! With that, here’s a recap of my eats! Post-workout : Iced coffee protein shake made with SFH Churro , collagen , and chocolate peanut milk . Mmm… it was so darn delicious! Breakfast : Mango + Gold Milk Chia Parfait from Daily Harvest. Snack : Two cookies, which were “recipe fails.” They were dry and crumbly, but they definitely tasted delicious! Lunch : Shredded chicken thighs + butternut squash <— not the prettiest, but I threw this together in 2 minutes before I left the house this morning!

My Meal Prep Rules of Thumb + Giveaway

Meal prep can feel like a super overwhelming and daunting task if it means spending all day in the kitchen. The last thing I want to have happen is my meal prep take over my entire Sunday! That’s supposed to be a relaxing day, right? Or better yet a “Sunday Funday”! All I know is that I do NOT want to waste my weekend cooking and stressing over weekday prep.
