Enjoy!Everyone likes when things are 1. easier and 2. fast right? That is probably the biggest reason why I hear so many of my customers are not successful with the nutrition side of a health and wellness plan.
"I could eat better if I had more time to cook."
"I just never know what to make."
"I have kids and don't want to cook 2 meals for everyone to eat."
"Healthy eating is so expensive and I feel overwhelmed at the store."
I get it, and have said each of these at some point in my journey. You are talking to the world's laziest person, okay maybe not the laziest, but I could give a sloth a run for it's money. I like things to be easy for me to figure out, not going to take up a ton of my time, family friendly, and most important.... still taste good!
So here's a list of some of my favorite sites that have helped me meal prep, print trackers that are easy to use, create family friendly meals, and make cooking fun instead of a chore!
Enjoy!
#1 Best Meal Prep/Clean Eating Instagram posts

Who doesn't love some good Instagram porn? Right? I can't be alone with this. Between Instagram and Pinterest, I feel like the hugest failure when it comes to taking a proper food picture. But dang, they can really make my taste buds activate!

This is my FAVORITE thing on this list! When I discovered salads in a jar, the game seriously changed for me. I went from having bland salads and having issues with getting them to work without turning gross.... to having 5 star restaurant quality veggies at my finger tips. When I worked retail, these were my go to lunch and dinner. I could eat it easily, required zero prep, and left me super full. Yum yum.... plus the possibilities!!!! Plus mason jars??? Cut it out, they're so cute!!!!
