Instructions
- Prepping all of these meals takes less than 45 minutes. Here we go:
- Make hard-boiled eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add eggs. Boil 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest 10 minutes in the hot water. Rinse under cold water to cool. Peel and separate into 3 containers. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the eggs are cooking, wash your veggies for the gazpacho. Peel and chop, adding a few extras for snacks. Add everything into your food processor or blender and pulse until chunky. Divide into 3 containers. Jars are my favorite for drinking.
- Rinse your blender or food processor. Add in the ingredients for the chickpea “no egg” salad. Pulse until chunky. Separate into three containers. Divide sandwich bread or tasty crackers into three bags for dipping, scooping, or sandwiching.
- For the protein shakes, divide fruit into three jars. I like frozen blueberries, strawberries, and banana. Use what you have. Top the jars off with a bunch of fresh spinach. Freeze. When you’re ready to drink, add a cup of coconut milk, and a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Add water as needed to thin. Blend.
- Divide your snacks into three bags or jars. Use a combination of raw nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Wash an apple, cut up any fresh fruit you have on hand. Add to the fridge in your snack section.
- Tip: save all your glass jars from jams, pickles, sauces. Give them a good wash, soak off the labels, and use for all your meal prepping needs! Buy a lunch box, and a small ice pack. Now you have all the tools to conquer your week, and fuel to keep you going!
