Learning to Prep with a Busy Life

It's been a little while since my last food prep post.  Honestly, I've been a little distracted by... well, everything.

I'm learning a bunch about my family's lifestyle going through this journey.  Mostly that it can be VERY hard to stick to a schedule on the weekend!  This week I mixed it up a bit.  Here's what it looks like:

The Slow Cooker Sausage, Spinach and White Bean Soup can be found at DamnDelicious.net.

My meals, Monday through Friday, are exactly the same.  That probably seems boring to most people, but I'm a creature of habit, so it makes me happy.  I plan to get 30oz of meat (a serving of protein is around 3oz - this covers lunch and dinner for protein five days of the week).  I over-eat my veggies, and I don't really estimate out the healthy fats.  I'm lazy! 

The weekends get a little hectic, so I'm doing a crockpot meal for Saturday, and Sunday night will be leftovers.  I usually skip lunch (nap time for Z, so that's when I exercise).  I tend to snack a bit on prep day, and I eat off the kids' plates, so I'll probably over-eat on the weekend.  I also like love wine.

We're getting there!  After all, it's all about progress, not perfection.  The majority of my eating is in line, and I tend to do doubles for exercise (one 30-minute workout, and between 3-5 miles when I don't mind the weather).

Blueberry Vanilla Dream Shake

This is one of my FAVORITE vanilla Shakeology shakes.  On weekdays I often make my afternoon snack plain yogurt and blueberries, but when life gets too hectic and I can't fit it in, I just finish my workout and put it in my shake.  This was too good not to share!
  • 1/2 Blender Bottle filled with ice and water
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 serving vanilla Shakeology
  • a dash of cinnamon
  • 1 cup spinach (optional)
Add all the ingredients to your favorite blender.  Blend to your desired consistency (I usually do 2-3 speed on my Vitamix until the ice is mostly blended smooth).

Give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments below!  What is your favorite Shakeology shake?
