In a hurry for lunch? Be prepared so you can eat healthy & stay healthy.
In a previous post I went over the importance to avoid skipping meals.
Blood sugar levels are important for overall health. Skipping meals is a recipe for failure on any weight loss program.
One the things that I have managed to do very well with is getting a nutritious meal even when I am totally zapped and/or out of time.
I by no means am perfect, we enjoy our fair share of drive through meals with 2 teenagers & a tween. But we always try to stock our pantry and frig with healthy options when in a hurry at home or on the go.
To get the protein I need, I try and have a batch of hard boiled eggs ready to go. They last around a week in my frig, safe and delicious. A pinch of salt & pepper & today some paprika, yum!
Costco® comes to the rescue for our busy family. All of the items I had for lunch today are staples at my house:
Whole grain tortilla chips from Foods Should Taste Good®.
Garlic Hummus from Sabra®.
Signature Spicy Pickle Chips from Famous Dave's®.
Organic Eggs came from Costco also!
