Make ahead Meals for a Week On-the-Run

I always dread these weeks: The ones where I have to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner away from home unless I want to eat at 4am and 9pm due to  a heavy work schedule.   But, I know with a little planning, at least my meals can be healthy and tasty!  This week's theme is meals on the go!

PS---I won a shiny trophy at my Crossfit Competition!  Must be all those good meals I am eating :-) (I think Pioneer Valley Crossfit coaching has something to do with it too)

Meal Plan

Last week, I realized that the only lunch I am really loving is my sandwiches.  So, I will try and alter them a little bit each day, just in case my readers are not as boring as I am and want to mix it up for lunch a bit.

Breakfasts

3 days: crustless quiche (made in advance) with 2 cups salad greens on side

2 days: smothie with 1 cup frozen cherries, 1 cup almond milk, 1 scoop protein, 1 cup spinach

Lunches

every day: sandwich on paleo bread, crudites, piece of fruit

Sandwich options: 

turkey with pepper jelly, cheddar, romaine lettuce

ham with stone ground mustard, apple, spinach, and sprouts

Turkey with stone ground mustard, pear, sprouts

ham with honey mustard, cheddar, romaine lettuce                  

Dinners

2 days: chicken apple sausage skillet with roasted potatoes

3 days: ground chicken curry with vegetables served with spaghetti squash

(I will make both ahead and the meals are great for travelling because they are 1-dishers!)...I will try to include some salad greens on the side to encourage veggie intake as well!

Snacks (1-2 per day)

Ants on a log: 2 celery stalks with 2 Tbsp. nut butter and raisins on top

greek yogurt with flax seed

last resort: protein shake!
