Meal Prep Week #1 Begins!

HI!
I am so excited to finally start my meal prep for the week! Me and my friend went shopping all day yesterday to stock up and we spent nearly all morning/afternoon getting everything ready and I am finally finished! I feel so accomplished and excited to start this and I know that I can keep up with it no problem.

I also would like it to be known that I am new to meal prep so I am going to be learning about it for a while but that's not to say that I don't want to share what I made and what I'm going to be eating for the next week starting tomorrow morning.

So I'm going to be listing what all meals I'll be having for the next week along with snacks. Pictures can be found at the end of this blog and I do encourage anyone that if they have any suggestions that they leave me a comment. I love hearing suggestions, especially if I can benefit from them.

And now onto the list!

Breakfast:
- 1 Pack of Instant Oatmeal/Grits
- 1 Bagel (Everything) with a light spreading of Strawberry Creme Cheese

Lunch:
- Stir Fry Steak Strips
- Homemade Lo Mein (Recipe will be linked at the bottom of the page. I highly recommend the recipe as it is really simple and delicious!)
- Green Juice (Mixture of 1 Strawberry, Kale, Spinach, Chard, 2 tsp of Vanilla Yogurt, 1/4 cup of Peach Juice)

Dinner:
- Grilled Chicken
- Steamed White Rice with 1/2 Tsp of Furikaki on top (Japanese Rice Seasoning)
- Whole Kernal Sweet Corn

Snacks:
- Homemade Trail Mix - Honey-Roasted Peanuts (1 tsp.), Sunflower Seeds (1 tsp) and Special K Granola Mix (2 tsp)
- Fresh Fruit - Strawberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, Raspberries and Grapes. 

And of course for every meal I will be drinking a bottle of 16.9 oz water as well as throughout the day I'm going to be constantly drinking water as well. But the 16.9 bottle of water will be drunk for every meal without fail. I am swearing off all other kinds of drinks except for the Peach Juice that will only be used in my green juices. This is really easy for me to do since I become quite ill whenever I drink a carbonated drink. Though I do have MIO water enhancer if the taste of water becomes to plain for me in order to keep my interest in the water. 

Oh also I wanted to let anyone who was curious that I was lucky enough to find all of my Tupperware containers from the Dollar Tree. I lucked up and found a bunch of Betty Crocker Tupperware that came in a pack of 2 for just $1. The bowls that are pictured below that hold the fruit are 8 ounce bowls and each one cost $1. So just wanted to let you guys know that you don't have to spend a bunch of money in order to find good Tupperware for meal prep. And the Tupperware is freezer and microwavable safe, which are great if you are meal prepping!

And now I come to a end with this blog post. I will try and post another by the middle of the week in order to tell of my progress and if I like it or not. Which with how excited and happy I am that I know I can succeed with meal prep!

Until Next Time!
