Hi Challengers.
I hope you are having a great weekend! It was rainy and snowy Friday night and today will be up to 75! Gotta love that Colorado weather. I took advantage today to go out on the River Walk for a run/walk. My runs have been no bueno this weekend...I had some *ahem* GI issues yesterday and my lower legs are bothering me. I think I need new running shoes or that is what I am telling myself. Getting on that asap.
With my extra time today I am getting some food prep in for the week.

Why? Because I said so.
And because incorporating more meatless meals (hopefully) allows you to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, a wider variety of protein like beans or nuts, has been shown to be cheaper....a diet high in fruits and vegetables has been shown to reduce risk of cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Of course, I am not saying you should go meatless all the time but lets give-it-a-go at least one day this week.
So what will you eat?!
Breakfast:
- Loaded oatmeal with nuts/nut butter/dried fruit/etc
- Egg burrito with salsa and cheese in a whole wheat wrap
- Yogurt parfait with granola and fruit
- Smoothie with fruit, spinach, yogurt/protein powder
Lunch:
- Big salad with unlimited veggies, whole grain (like my prepped quinoa), beans, nuts
- Wrap filled with hummus and veggies
- Snack platter with fruit, low fat cheese, whole grain crackers, and some yogurt
- Sandwich with avocado, goat cheese, and beets
Dinner:
- Veggie chili with baked potato
- Whole wheat pasta with marinara and ricotta cheese
- Oven roasted salmon with broccoli and brown rice
- Veggie fajitas with beans topped with guacamole
I made this Vegetable Curry last week in the crockpot that would be great for the week!
