A little late on my meal planning this week, but in my mind I don’t need a plan until the work week starts right?  In the midst of furniture shopping and grilling we found time to make a quick Trader Joe’s shopping trip for some essentials.

Bigger containers of yogurt and bacon cheese for Mr. Hungry.   He could have yogurt every single day for breakfast and be totally happy.  I had to start buying the big ones so he would stop only having 100 calories for breakfast and then end up eating his lunch at 10am.  That system doesn’t quite do it for someone that is 6’2”.  Now he has the bigger yogurt and a banana, which is at least an improvement.

Meal Plan

Breakfast Options:

–  Green Chile and Cheese Frozen Breakfast Burritos

–  Chia Protein Pudding (new awesome recipe coming soon!)

–  Van’s Waffles

–  Smoothies

Lunch Options:

–  Chicken Salads (tomorrows has my favorite combination of goat cheese, strawberries, and chicken with Walden Farms Balsamic Vinaigrette)

–  Leftovers

Dinner Options:

As you know, last week I stopped planning out daily options because I stopped sticking to it.  Instead now I just make sure I have five healthy options to choose from during the week.  A couple of quick options and a couple of not as quick options depending on what kind of night it is.

–  Shrimp Enchilada Skillet

–  Individual Pita Pizzas w/ Turkey Bacon

–  Cheesy Chicken Sausage and Brussel Sprouts

–  Salmon Burgers

–  5 Minute Omelet Bowl
