- Overnight Oats: Combine rolled oats, milk (dairy or non-dairy), chia seeds, yogurt, and your favorite fruits and nuts in a jar or container. Let it sit in the fridge overnight, and enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack in the morning.
- Mason Jar Salads: Layer your favorite salad ingredients in a mason jar, starting with the dressing at the bottom, followed by sturdy vegetables like carrots and cucumbers, then softer vegetables like tomatoes and lettuce, and finally your protein of choice (grilled chicken, chickpeas, etc.). When you’re ready to eat, just shake the jar and enjoy.
- Hard-boiled Eggs: Boil a batch of eggs at the beginning of the week and store them in the fridge for a quick and easy protein-packed snack or breakfast.
- Roasted Vegetables: Chop up your favorite vegetables (broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.), toss them with olive oil and your favorite seasonings, and roast them in the oven until tender. Store them in the fridge and add them to salads, grain bowls, or omelets throughout the week.
- Smoothie Packs: Combine your favorite smoothie ingredients (fruits, vegetables, protein powder, etc.) in a freezer bag or container and store them in the freezer. When you’re ready to make a smoothie, just add the contents of the bag to a blender with some liquid (milk, water, juice, etc.) and blend until smooth.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily have healthy and delicious meals and snacks on hand all week long.
