What Do I Eat?

I often get asked, “What do you eat Laura?”

So I thought I’d share!

It was an extra crazy week this week all around. And these are simple, healthy meals I rely on that can be put together quickly and that I feel good about eating.

My sitter was out of town and I couldn’t find a replacement, which meant trying to squeeze in my normal ‘work’ stuff into nap time and early mornings, aka 4:45 am. Not fun by the time Friday rolls around. It was also nice outside, which is a GREAT thing, but it also means I wasn’t in the kitchen a lot to prep because I was out with the kids.

Plus, we are ALMOST done building our new house so every night we were either at the new house location walking through to check on the day’s progress or picking out the finishing touches for the house.

All in all, it was…MORE busy than normal…I didn’t think that was possible but I get never say never!

However, with all this, it doesn’t mean I let my nutrition get off track! So here’s the REAL DEAL.

*One thing to note, my meals change DAILY. I don’t eat the same 6 meals day in and day out.

*Ok…two things to note…nutrition is not a one size fits all plan. This works for me, and I’m sharing in hopes it may help you get ideas to make your meals healthier and not to prescribe any type of diet.

Meal 1: PRE Workout 5 AM

1/4 c Frozen Mango Chunks

1 T Nutzo (or other nut butter)

Meal 2: POST Workout 8 AM

My latest obsession: Banana Protein Pancakes. They smell just like banana bread! And the stack of 7 pancakes fills me up for a while. You can top this with nut butters but I think it’s good on its own.

Meal 3: 11 AM

3 oz Lemon Pepper Grilled Salmon (leftover from last night- I am in LOVE with this! We eat it at least once a week!)

Large bunch of Roasted Kale seasoned with Montreal Steak Seasoning

1/2 c Blueberries

Meal 4: 1:30 PM

Shake

1 scoop Isagenix IsaLean Vanilla

1 Scoop Cookies ‘n’ Cream Whey Protein

1 scoop Isagenix IsaGreens

I love shakes at this time because I am usually craving something sweet right about now. Plus it helps me get in a little more water during the afternoon hours when I usually am distracted with kids, work or house chores.

Meal 5: 5:30/6:00 PM

4 oz grilled Chicken Breast in Italian Dressing

1 c grilled zucchini and red onions seasoned with salt and pepper

2 oz Sweet Potato Fries (Alexia)

*This is my go-to summer recipe when I don’t have any time to prep. It takes about 25 minutes to make and is easy enough that I can do she my hubby isn’t home yet and all the kids (all who seemed to have a burst of energy right around 5:30/6 o’clock) are playing or riding their bikes.

Meal 6: 9 PM

Cleanse for Life/Kava ‘Stress Relief’ Tea

Choco-Cado Protein Pudding, a healthy dose of good fats in avocado and coconut oil plus chocolate protein. Recipe below!

1 avocado

1/3 c unsweetened dark cocoa powder

1/4 c Splenda

1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 T coconut oil, melted

Mash all ingredients together with a fork, or use a blender.

Keep the extra serving in the fridge for tomorrow night. ; )
