Cut the sugar, cut the salt, cut the CRAVINGS

It's no surprise part of my Sundays are ALWAYS spent in the kitchen- but that time never fails to be time that pays itself off throughout the week! Imagine spending 4 hours prepping EVERY SINGLE MEAL for your week ahead... seriously, just 4 hours to ensure what you eat is the LAST thing you have to worry about throughout your week.


This weeks meal plan include FIVE daily meals -

1. Vegan chocolate shakeology + 1/8 cup. rolled oats + 1/2 grapefruit + 1 tsp almond butter 
2. 1/2 cup Cottage cheese + 1/2 scoop protein powder + 1 apple + 2 strawberries 
3. 4 oz. Cod + mango + 1/2 cup roasted cauliflower + 1/2 cup roasted peppers + 1 tsp flaxseed oil
4. 3 oz. Roasted turkey breast + 1/4 cup brown rice + 1/2 cup sautéed spinach + 1 tsp flaxseed oil
5. 3 oz. Chicken + 1/2 cup roasted peppers + 1 tsp flaxseed oil


Do you have 4 hours to get this done so you can save triple that time this week?!

Lets get started then! :)

FIRST- Cut the fat off your chicken and add it to the crockpot on high for 3 hours. I added 1 quart of low sodium vegetable broth and filled the rest of the way with water

NEXT- Preheat your oven to 350F. Add your cod to a baking dish filled about an inch of the way up with low sodium vegetable broth. Top each fish fillet lemon juice, garlic powder, and vegetable seasoning. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.



THEN- While the fish is cooking, cut up your peppers, cauliflower, and whatever other vegetables you want to use. Add them to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Spray with olive oil spray and sprinkle with vegetable seasoning and lemon pepper seasoning (with no salt). When the fish is finished, preheat your oven to 400F and roast the veggies for 20-30 minutes or until edges begin to brown.



NEXT- Portion out your cottage cheese (1/2 cup) into a tupperware and then mix in your protein powder (1/2 scoop). Add handful of berries and a dash of cinnamon. Then cut up your mango into 5 servings (1 serving = 1/3 mango). Next slice your apples and sprinkle with cinnamon (after sitting in the fridge the apple slices absorb the cinnamon and taste just like *guiltless* cinnamon apples)!



THEN- Add 1 quart of no sodium beef broth. Bring to a boil then once boiling, add 1 cup brown rice and bring back to a boil. Cook uncovered for 30 minutes until rice is tender. While rice is cooking, sauce spinach with minced ginger and lemon pepper seasoning until wilted.



**NOTE- I bought the no sodium turkey breast from Publix so it's one less thing I had to cook. It's Boars Head brand! ;)**

Once everything is cooked, begin portioning out your food. Then stick in the fridge until it's time to eat again!

Questions? Post them below and I would be happy to help!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
