For today's blog post, I'm going to keep it short and simple, just like the meals that I meal prepped for this week. I decided to meal prep this week so that I could stay consistent with what I eat and also become used to eating healthier meals. I have found for myself that if I have a ready to go healthy meal, I will eat it instead of going to Bojangles or even Come Back Shack.
For this week, I prepped two main meals: brown rice with grilled chicken and bell peppers, and ground turkey and baked broccoli. For the food I had leftover, I ended up with ground turkey and bell peppers, and then grilled chicken with some sautéed spinach.
Grilled chicken and ground turkey are two of my favorite meats to use when I am wanting to meal prep. It's easy, fast to cook, and it tastes delicious. For my sides, I used bell peppers and broccoli for my two meals. I cut up a red and yellow bell pepper into thinner strips with some slices of jalapeños and sautéed them for about ten minutes until they became soft. I also tried something different, which was baking the broccoli I had bought. I learned however, that it's probably better to bake fresh broccoli and not frozen broccoli because it becomes softer rather than crunchier.
These meals definitely kept me full for a good two to three hours and gave me energy throughout the day while I had them for lunch and dinner. Eating healthy is a lifestyle and taking one small step into bettering your eating habits can make the biggest difference. I know it did for me this week! If you try them out, let me know what you think.
