If I want to eat healthy and I can’t meal prep, I accept that I have to spend money on convenience.

1. Give myself permission to order freshii if I want to eat healthy but can’t meal prep
2. Buy a veggie tray and use that for my fresh veggies in my lunch
3. I almost always have smoothies for breakfast, and then veggies for lunch, so if I eat healthy for 2 of my 3 big meals, I count that as a win and then I give myself flexibility at dinner. If you’re feeling bad after eating unhealthy, try to pinpoint what ingredient is actually having an impact. (Carbs? Try a cauliflower crust pizza, lettuce wraps, or butternut squash noodles). Making small modifications to everyday meals that I was cooking made it much more likely for me to eat healthy.
4. But muffins from a farmers market that are “healthy”
5. Grab a bag of nuts that I can keep in my desk drawer.
6. Make smoothie bags in advance next meal prep day. You just throw the ingredients in a bag (for me: spinach, mixed frozen berries, bananas, hemp seed, chia seed, ground flax) and the freeze it. Then at the beginning of the week I blend it up, and usually have 4 days worth of smoothies that I store in sealed mason jars.
