How to Meal Prep for Your Week...
Morning lovelies! I hope you all are having a fabulous Easter Sunday and are now recovering from your sugar comas. Thankfully I was able to resist a bit of that sugary goodness, which seems to always come with Easter celebrations. I did however enjoy some yummy whole wheat cinnamon rolls in the morning (I'm sharing the recipe later next week) and a few of Miss Priss's Robin eggs...Oh boy are those things good. I'm thankful for my red head who gave me a handful to enjoy. It allowed me to give into my sweet tooth, without going overboard....I use to always go overboard, so I am counting my self-control as a HUGE non-scale victory this weekend! No pounds gained! Woot! Woot!
One way to help me constantly resist some of those sweet treats and junky snacks is by meal prepping. I started this just a few weeks ago and I have already seen what a HUGE difference it makes in my day. I am a busy mama (as I know you are all too), who doesn't always take the time to prepare fresh, healthy snacks for myself. I seem to always put myself on the back burner. Meal prepping has allowed me to make the healthy option the most convenient, so if I have to run out the door with kids, I can grab a quick tub of cut up veggies and not blow my whole day of healthy eating.
I made a video to show you what I meal prepped for this upcoming week. All of these yummy goodies will be enjoyed not by only me, but the rest of my family as well. I have found that when I take a little bit of time on Sunday to get this stuff prepared, our week seems to go a little smoother. We are filling up on healthy, fiber filled foods....are full longer...and are not indulging those sweet tooth's too much.
I would definitely give meal prepping a try. I love to scour instagram for ideas, using the hashtag #mealprep. So many people do meal prepping. You can do it for snacks or for your meals. Right now I just do it for my snacks.
Check out my video and see what I prepped this week :)
