Hi friends!

One of the biggest barriers to eating balanced during the week comes down to having a plan. When meals are unplanned, lunch the next day usually turns into random snacking or “whatever I can find” (been there…)

So this week, we’re leaning into one of my favorite Balanced Reset strategies:
cook once, eat twice! After cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner for the past 4 weeks, you may be experiencing some cooking fatigue (which is totally normal).

These 3 breakfasts and 3 dinners (that make perfect lunch leftovers) are designed to:

  • prioritize protein + fiber

  • reheat well

  • travel well

  • and actually keep you full when you eat the leftovers the next day

No sad desk lunches!!

Let’s get into it :)
