     This is where meal prep is really your best friend so if you aren’t yet convinced that it’s helpful, now’s the time! We grill up chicken each week so we have it available for all sorts of things all throughout the week like salads and stir-fries! You can just throw it on the barbie as is and season it as you use it, or you can marinate it in lemon juice or lime juice to make it super tender and then grill it. Either way, you’ll love having chicken ready for you!

     I also use brown rice from Trader Joe’s found in the freezer section. It’s microwavable and makes everything SO easy! Pop in the microwave for 3 minutes and you have brown rice- highly recommend! It’s so easy!

Ingredients

• Pre-grilled chicken (1 Red Container)
• Cooked Brown Rice (1 Yellow Container)
• Edamame and Bell Peppers, or Use the Veggies You Have on Hand (1 Green Container)
• 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil (1 Spoon)
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Cumin
• 1/2 Salt
• Dash Liquid Aminos or Coconut Aminos

Preparation

1. In a medium skillet add sesame oil, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Heat over medium high heat.
2. When pan is heated, add veggies and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Add pre-grilled chicken and cooked brown rice and stir in with veggies until completely heated throughout.
4. Remove from heat and add a dash of liquid aminos- stir to combine.
5. Serve immediately.

If you haven’t pre-cooked your chicken, just be sure to cook it in the pan first and then add the veggies.

     It’s berry season!!! I’m so excited because we’re kind of smack dab in the middle of blueberry season and I just picked up this HUGE container of organic blueberries from Trader Joe’s! I jokingly said that I didn’t think I’d be able to finish them all, but I LOVE them in my oatmeal- and I’m kind of obsessed with this reason right now! You’re going to love it and LOVE my secret ingredient! Sssshhhhh!

Ingredients

• Steel Cut Oatmeal (1 Yellow)
• Big Handful of Blueberries (1 Purple)
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (secret ingredient!)

Preparation

1. To make your life really easy, make a big batch of steel cut oats on Sunday and if you store them in the fridge, you can eat them ALL week!  This is a meal prepping dream!
2. Fill the yellow container with your pre-made steel cut oats.
3. Add cinnamon and, the secret ingredient, vanilla extract and stir until combined. The reason the vanilla is so key is because it make this taste like a cookie- seriously you will die it’s so good!
4. If you are using oatmeal that’s been in the fridge, add a little bit of water and microwave for one minute. Once heated, stir to mix in the water.
5. Top with blueberries and enjoy!
