I can't believe it is almost October! So sad to see the summer months leave and my BUSY BUSY work schedule starting up again. Between my physical therapy job, teaching dance, teaching piano, and finally starting my ETSY SHOP, these past few months have been
INSANE!
One hard thing about being busy and always on the go is trying to stay healthy!
I'm never home for lunch and rarely have time to make a nice dinner. You can only live on frozen pizzas from Costco for so long before your body starts begging for a more nutritious meal.
Because my schedule is so hectic I have been trying to find foods that can be easily prepared but that still fit inside my eating cleaner guidelines. And of course, Trader Joe's came to the rescue!
In the meat section at Trader Joe's I found this package of All Natural Fully Cooked Chicken Breasts.
Inside are 4 individual, vacuum sealed 4 oz chicken breasts. They can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 weeks and they take 2 minutes in the microwave to heat up. The result is delicious, tender, surprisingly juicy chicken breast that can be eaten plain or chopped up and added to whatever quick meal you are making.
I have been eating a 4oz piece with steamed veggies or a salad for lunch and dinner and few times a week and I feel FANTASTIC afterwards.
Lean protein + complex carbs (veggies) = serious fuel
What else is on my Favorite Finds List lately?
Cocoa Almond Spread (Trader Joes)
I've been eating this stuff by the spoonfuls (literally). also have been dunking Trader Joe's Animal Crackers in this. BEST SNACK EVER
Wholly Guacamole 100 Cal. Snack Packs
These are SO awesome! I hate how quickly homemade guac goes bad. These come with 6 individual guacamole packets (all natural ingredients). So great for putting on tacos, nachos, and so easy to pack in lunches!
ORGANIC RASPBERRIES!
These babies could cost $10 a case and I would STILL buy them. I am obsessed.
