To celebrate the first official week of summer, I thought I would share one of my FAVORITE summer recipes.I have made this pretty much everyday this summer and either eat it for breakfast or freeze it for later! his is great for ice cream (put in the freezer after you make it) and popsicles. It is SO good! (Sorry Halo, this is better for you!)



 Low Sugar, Low Carb (15g), Gluten Free, Paleo / Keto Friendly, High protein. Yes, it is that good!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
--> Almond or Coconut Milk
--> Spinach (I freeze 1 cup of fresh spinach in individual bags for smoothies!)
--> Frozen fruit (I used organic strawberries from Costco)
--> Chocolate Protein Powder

30 Minute Work Week Meal Prep!

Sunday funday! It has been a while since I have been on the blog so I thought I would share my work week meal prep I did today that took me 30 minutes. Because, guys, summer is busy. And I would SO much rather be at the pool! It is not glamorous, but it is done! I know if I don't plan, the craziness of the week will take over. So here is what I did...

p.s. It is Keto, Whole 30 and Gluten Free friendly! 💁



THE MENU: 
Breakfast: 2 Hard Boiled Eggs, 1 cup Mixed Berries
Lunch M/W/F - Kale Crunch Salad w/ Ham or Turkey, Tomatoes, and Walnuts
Lunch T/TH - Cottage Cheese, Tomatoes, and Walnuts

STEP 1 --> Line up your containers. 
I use these from Amazon

STEP 2 --> Grab a salad kit and divide it into 3 of the containers. (I use the kale crunch salad without the dressing).  Add in rolled lunch meat as your protein. (I used turkey and ham). If you want dressing use a mix of balsamic vinegar and olive oil and lemon juice. Super easy! (I would add that the morning you plan to eat it). 

STEP 3 --> In the remaining two containers add 1 cup of cottage cheese. 

STEP 4 --> Add in tomatoes (or a veggie of choice) and walnuts (they are high calorie, low carb to keep you full)


STEP 5 --> Boil a dozen hard boiled eggs.

STEP 6 --> Pack 1 cup of fruit in 5 additional containers. 


Easy peasy. 


I also roasted a ton of veggies (broccoli, squash, and cauliflower) in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes while I did this. So during the week for dinners, we can grill out and have an easy side! Already made!
