Meal Prep Ease

10/26/2018

0 Comments

 
​Meal prep doesn't have to be difficult! In this video, I go over how easily I prepare  meals for my family through the week! From Buddha Bowls to boiled eggs, anything can be planned in advance!

For working mamas, you may want to cook everything at the beginning of the week, but I end up cooking everything about 30 minutes before we eat! Don't forget about having plenty of fun and healthy snacks to have on hand! 

At the end of the video, I show you my Tower Garden where I grow our fresh greens ourselves! This makes it so easy for our family to know the greens we eat are fresh and healthy!

Happy Saturday Morning!

It's pancake time! Our favorite thing to do in the morning on Saturdays is to make pancakes with the girls. Here is how you can make them with us!

Gather all the organic, fresh, and yummy ingredients!

1 Banana

2 eggs

1 Scoop of vanilla plant-based shake mix

2 spoon fulls of flax seeds

Blueberries (or any fruit you would like)

If you want, a splash of almond mix will be a great addition as well!

Then, all you have to do is mix the ingredients well before transferring it into the pan!

This is such an easy and yummy breakfast for the whole family to have a part in! If you decide to make this recipe on a Saturday morning, or at all, I would love to see a picture!

Chipotle Bowls

​In only ten minutes you can make your own yummy chipotle bowl! 

First, we pick fresh greens from our Tower Garden and make a huge bowl filled with beautiful, fresh, lettuce! Being able to walk outside and have fresh greens is so amazing.

The wonderful part of making and having a chipotle bowl is the variety and customizable abilities! Having our girls choose what to put in their bowls ensures that they enjoy their healthy meal. From guacamole to mushrooms, the choices are endless and mouth watering!

Even though these are bowls, we love to have sides to our meals! One side we always make is roasted broccoli with everything but the bagel seasoning! The girls love it and it is so easy to make!

It's all about keeping meals fun and healthy for the family!

Here is a video on my most asked about recipe, the Buddha Bowl! Each Buddha Bowl is made differently with ingredients I have around the house that work well together.

Having a dish like a Buddha Bowl allows the girls to customize their meal within healthy means, and have fun!

The ingredients for the Bowl shown in the video are:
  • cauliflower rice
  • sautéed veggies
  • roasted broccoli
  • sweet potatoes
  • Chinese peanut sauce made with almond butter
  • veggies
  • avocado
  • edamamme

Again, you can create your very own super customizable Buddha Bowl with any healthy ingredients you want!

Bake The Rain Away!

These are three of our very favorite dishes to bake in our home! When Hurricane Florence came through and flooded our area, we decided to bake the rain away with cauliflower soup, peanut butter bars, and baked broccoli!

For the cauliflower soup, all you will need is:
  • vegetable broth
  • cashews
  • everything but the bagel seasoning
  • boil until cauliflower is soft, and then put into a vita-mix!
The cauliflower soup tastes JUST LIKE potato soup! What a wonderful healthy alternative!

The peanut butter bars are made of only four ingredients.. how much easier can it be?
  • gluten free oatmeal
  • honey
  • peanut butter
  • plant based chocolate shake mix

For the simple, but wonderfully easy baked broccoli, all you need is:
  • olive oil
  • broccoli
  • everything but the bagel seasoning
  • bake the broccoli at 375 for 20-25 minutes

What are your favorite healthy recipes to make when staying dry from a storm?
