EASY, NOURISHING MEAL PREP FOR A HAPPY SELF
“To eat is a necessity,
but to eat intelligently is an art.”
One huge support for each of us functioning as our best selves is being properly nourished.
Without the appropriate macros, micros, minerals, and amount of food, something will suffer, whether it's your energy, focus, mood, hormones, ability to handle stress, digestion and if you understand nourish long enough, alll of these (and more) will.
Plus, if you have health and wellness goals, some kind of plan for the week is going to be the most efficient way to support it.
Your plan will also likely change based on your week and finding a few that work for your lifestyle trends and what supports you best might take some trial and error. Here are a few styles that might suit your needs:

4. Leftovers
Lunches:

Salmon lox and avocado for open face rice cakes with sprouts
