Healthy eating

 I've been really working on healthy eating, because I know it has such an impact on my energy, not to mention weight & overall health. It's not easy some days, and grabbing easy snacks can be tempting. We stocked up on fast & healthy options over the weekend, and that's definitely helping.

What I'm eating lately:

  • Sourdough toast with natural peanut butter + a banana
  • A salad (bagged mix) with a sprinkle of feta cheese + 2 diced boiled eggs 
  • Avocado toast. I like to mash my avocado with some lime juice, spread over sourdough bread & top with a little feta + tomatoes
  • Lots of fruit as a snack: cherries, strawberries, & melon. We tend to have a lot of cut fruit ready & available for a grab & go option
  • Sourdough toast (it's a theme, I love sourdough bread) + fresh mozzarella & tomatoes, sprinkled with salt & pepper
  • Protein bars. Barebells are most certainly not the cheapest option, but they taste like an actual treat. If you ever find these on sale, they are worth it (IMO). Trader Joes sells them.
  • Dinner leftovers
I need to make more hummus, because that is delicious to add as an option with veggies, or on a salad.

And, we are also enjoying all of the produce from our garden (a small sample), but the very clear winners are the tomatoes. Tomatoes on everything!

I warned M that those jalapenos are *spicy*, but he didn't believe me & cut up too much for his salad. He had some regrets. ;-) 



What are your easy grab & go meal options? Bonus points for healthy + plenty of protein!
