People often ask me how I meal prep my lunches. I take a salad to work, and build all of them on Sunday night. This particular week I only work 3 days, so I have made 3 lunches. This process, however, takes about the same amount of time no matter how many lunches I need to prep. I boil about 2lbs of chicken at a time and shred them, keeping some in the freezer. That way I only need to make my chicken every 3 weeks or so. You can use whatever veggies you want on your salad, here I used cucumber, tomato, and onion. I bring this container to work with my greens and then combine with dressing, that way the greens don't get soggy.
This breakfast is great for weekend brunch, or breakfast for dinner. A great way to get your veggies and protein in at breakfast! You can make a large batch ahead of time and then assemble and make a fresh egg when you're ready to eat! To cut down on work, feel free to buy pre diced butternut squash (I know Trader Joe's sells it) I used lean chorizo to make this bowl, find that recipe here Ingredients (Makes 6 servings):

And squash also is fall. So what better fall soup than butternut squash? Enjoy with a sandwich or salad to make a meal, or crackers/bread for a snack! A note about special equipment: I used an immersion blender for this recipe. You can use a regular blender, but note that the soup will need to be cooled slightly first do you do not melt your blender. If you enjoy making soups, I recommend checking out an immersion blender, they are super fun and cool to use! Ingredients:

The problem is that it doesn't save very well, since the crust gets soggy. Also I'll eat the whole thing. Solution: personal chicken pot pies! Prep is fast and simple, and since its a little pot pie it doesn't take too long to cook! If you want to cook for more than 1 person, you can use a larger dish and cook it for a bit longer. I haven't tried it, but I would add about 5 minutes to the cooking time for each additional serving. Everything in the pie is cooked, its just waiting for it to heat and the crust to brown.

Calories: 360 Protein: 33g Fat: 9g Carbohydrate 32g Recipe adapted from Avatar Nutrition As I was making this recipe to take pictures for the blog, my roommates got inquisitive and had to try some. I don't think that they were convinced that my cottage cheese blenderized concoction could taste like cheesecake, but they all decided that it was absolutely delicious. I would be surprised if the 3 servings I had leftover after dinner tonight are still there tomorrow. This recipe is easy and can be adapted to different tastes. Want chocolate cheesecake? Use chocolate protein powder and pudding mix. Cookies n cream? Do it! This recipe will be basic vanilla, and I'll probably add some adaptations in future posts because it is so easy and delicious!
