Struggling to create easy, tasty, healthy meals? The trick: keep it simple, eat foods you like, and meal prep for one hour before the start of your week.
As someone who lives a busy lifestyle and feels my best when I eat well, keeping a list of simple go-to meals I like and meal prepping on Saturdays helps me eat more nutritious meals. Below is a list of my simple meals as well as what I prep every Saturday.
Simple Meals
- Homemade Avocado with Turkey on Udi’s Gluten Free Bread
- Roasted Chicken from Costco with roasted asparagus and roasted yellow potatoes.
- Rice Bowls: Rice with roasted carrots and zucchini and a protein such as salmon or ground beef. I use coconut amino acids as my sauce along with ground pepper for seasoning.
- Baked Salmon with roasted zucchini and carrots, or asparagus, with smashed garlic red potatoes.
- Gluten Free Pasta with roasted broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini and a sauce. I typically make a homemade sauce with olive oil, lemon juice, and spices.
