Building A Healthy Meal

I love trying and making easy recipes but again, I am lazy and sometimes need something EVEN simpler. Plus I am not a huge fan of spending hours in the kitchen. 👎🏼🙅🏽‍♀️

When making a grocery list for the week, a good place to start is by choosing three types of protein, three types of carbohydrate, and three types of non-starchy vegetables. 🍗🥩🥚🍚🥔🍞🌶🍅🥦

An example for protein would be: chicken, ground beef, eggs, carbs: rice, potatoes, whole wheat bread, and veggies: peppers, green beans, and mixed veggies. Add in some healthy fats….I recommend cooking your veggies in some olive or avocado oil or adding some avocado or nuts. 🥑🥜And you can't forget the spices and seasonings and sauces! 🧂

Remember, these meals don’t have to be perfect, If you don’t have all of the categories in your meal then that is OKAY! Most days I don’t have any veggies for breakfast because I don’t like them in the morning and that’s ok! Maybe you didn’t get a chance to eat any fruit yesterday but had an apple and some berries today..woohoo! 🎉 The most important thing is trying your best to get as many of these categories in as you can over the course of the week. 👍🏼
