One of my goals for 2014 is to do food prep every Sunday. I've always been a healthy eater, but I decided to take it to the next level this year. Being a college student and a foster mom, I always find myself pressed for time, making it hard to be consistent with healthy eating. Food prep is a great way to ensure that you have a fridge stocked with healthy food to last the whole week. It seems like a lot of work, but to be honest, it was actually pretty fun and therapeutic! Here is a picture of what I prepared for my first week of 2014:
3 cups of steamed wild rice for dinners, grilled chicken breast strips for salads, boiled eggs for protein snacks, chicken salad (made with hummus instead of mayo), butternut squash soup, chopped kale and lettuce for salads, a bunch of chopped veggies (celery, carrots, peppers, and onions, cantaloupe, and blackberries. Not pictured: Greek yogurt (in the fridge), and pumpkin oatmeal whole wheat muffins (in the oven), and chicken breasts and salmon filets (marinating in the fridge, ready to cook for dinners)
