Meal plan (9/16 - 9/22)

Labels: , ,

Another week, another meal plan. I try to plan on Fridays so I can shop and prep over the weekend. As always, these meals reflect what I plan for myself (a vegetarian) and my honey (a meat-eater). Though he certainly doesn't mind going meatless a couple of times a week, I try to fix his protein of choice as well. For those meals, I just forego the meat and sub in a plant protein (or I just eat another spoonful of peanut butter).  

I don't want to imply that we eat only what's shown on these meal plans. There are days when I can't live without chips and salsa or I just want cereal for dinner. But having a plan makes sticking to our goals a lot easier. We both strive to limit packaged / processed foods, sugar, salt, and other white stuff. We focus on lean proteins, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and whole / high fiber grains. That way, on our Free Day, we can go CRAZY.  Just kidding.    Sort of.







*protein pancake: I was making and eating these all the time and then got tired of them. But after a little break, I'm a fan again. I put 1/4 cup egg beaters, 1/2 banana, 1 Tbls oats, and a 1/2 scoop of protein powder in my personal blender and blend until smooth. Then I pour it into a hot skillet, flip when the bubbles start to pop, and cook on the other side until done. (Start to finish takes like 2.5 minutes.) I like mine topped with syrup and peanut butter or yogurt and berries.

Eat healthy. Be healthy.
