Easy Meal Prep – 10 Quick, Easy Shift Work Food Options
Easy Meal Prep - 10 Quick, Easy Shift Work Food Options
I have been getting questions from nurses, moms, and people employed at jobs in which breaks are minimal and food storage is either non-existent or inconvenient about how to prep for success. I have created a list of quick and easy snack or meal ideas for those of you on a time crunch or must carry in your pocket:
Snack/ meal ideas:
- Apple- core and put peanut butter or almond butter in the hole- wrap in plastic wrap – will keep for 24 hours
- Shakeology (add an easy link to my coach office/ can do same for beachbar )
- Trail mix: (cashews, almonds, raisins, cranberries, sunflower seeds, coconut pieces- you can really make any favorite combinations of nuts, dried fruits, & seeds/ Second Nature is a great prepackaged option)
- Wraps (protein of choice) cut up in pinwheels or wrap in foil whole (my fave- hummus, turkey, cucumber)
- Tuna packets or cans
- Yogurt sticks – frozen
- Beachbar
- Raw Veggies
- Overnight Oats: (https://lifemadesweeter.com/overnight-oats-8-ways/)
- Quinoa Tabbouleh (https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-quinoa-tabbouleh-90136 or https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/quinoa-tabbouleh-395939)
Fixate Nutrition Plan Container Divisions:
- Protein: deli meat slices, protein powder, canned tuna, boiled eggs, Beachbar
- Healthy fats: almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, walnuts, hummus, cheese sticks, avacado
- Seeds and dressings: olives and sunflower seeds
- Veggies: pickles, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli
- Fruit: applesauce- unsweetened, apples and oranges are easiest fruits to pocket
- Carbs: whole grain crackers, popcorn, pita, tortilla, bagel, Beachbar
- Nut butter and oil: peanut butter is my go-to, almond butter, Beachbar
