Lovely Friend,One of my biggest downfalls to clean eating occurs when I am on-the-go. It seems like I always end up being gone longer than I planned, which often means I am out during meal times. This has really thrown a kink in my clean eating on more than one occasion and I have decided to face this battle head on!
I have preached about how great preparation is and it is still an area that needs lots of work in this house. It is also a huge key to fighting the on-the-go pitfall. This week (actually the part of the week that has been completed so far) has been a success for me! Preparation has helped me stay on track in a big way!!
To begin my meal prep, I have been making breakfast or lunch the night before. This has kept me from rushing in the morning and conveniently leaving this prep task off my already crammed morning to-do list. Once we are ready in the morning, I can just grab the meal and head to the car easy-peasy.
I am sure you are wondering what I have been preparing for my on-the-go meals (or sometimes snacks), so let me share a few of my favorites.
On-the-go Favorites:
1. One Green Apple- sliced and placed in a baggie with a sprinkle of lemon juice (to prevent browning) with 1/4 Cup of Raw Almonds in a baggie.
2. One Banana (when I'm detoxing, I only eat this after a workout) with 1/4 Cup of Raw Almonds in a baggie.
3. Nine Rice Chips in a baggie with 1/2 Cup of Fresh Salsa in a small container.
4. Four Ounces of Simple Truth Deli Turkey in a baggie with One Cup of Fresh Blueberries in baggie and 1/2 Raw Red Bell Pepper sliced in a baggie.
5. Four Ounces of Chicken-shredded and wrapped in a Gluten-free Tortilla with 1/2 of an Avocado.
Those favorites have definitely helped me to stick to my clean eating plan and I hope that they will also help you! However, if you jump track on your plan, I encourage you to forgive yourself and saddle up for the next meal!
Giving It My All,
Jess
