Breakfast will always be my post workout fuel = Shakeology with 1/2 banana, spinach, chia seeds, and cashew butter. I like to pack my shake with a variety of food groups to cover it all and keep my energy level up! I have a hard time with veggies some days so the spinach helps! Chia Seeds give me the extra protein I lack throughout the day ? 

Lunch will always be eggs of some sort, overhard- hard boiled- or scrambles with hot sauce. AND berries- mainly strawberries, but I like to mix it up some days too with raspberries and blueberries (usually what we have on hand) and the veggie days will mainly be peppers but i may switch it up with tomatoes because I like that combo (eggs and tomato). 

Snacks will be on my drive to get the kids from school- so it will be easy! Hummus and peppers or cucumbers. Apple and mixed nuts (I buy the unsalted mixed nuts from costco- buy sometimes i mix my own- almonds, cashews, and pistachios)

Then Dinners… I am pretty plain jane- I love to be as simple as possible, because once i start getting into recipes I tend to get side tracked and burnt out! SO I through chicken breast in a crock pot and make shredded chicken on sunday- use that for wraps and salads for the week…. recipe here 

Spaghetti Squash and Meat Sauce will be simple… I cut the spaghetti squash in half, take out seeds- coat with EVOO, salt and pepper, place down on cookie sheet- add 1/4 in of water and then bake on 450 for roughly 20-45 min (depends on size and how you want the texture)- less time for more crunchy. Then I buy sugar free sauce at the store and add ground turkey to it!
