Weekly Meal Prep for Busy Women

When you're super busy during the week, working from nine till wine, you have to be really organized if you want to maintain healthy and balanced lifestyle. That's why my Sundays are dedicated to do some meal planning (and prepping if I have time) and to lay down my weekly goals. So for this week I already assembled some of my go-to meals for busy days, which will guide me in choosing the right foods during the week. The guidance for the meals is "lean and green": plant based dishes with the addition of some healthy fats and/or proteins. However, when I don't have much time for websurfing to find the recipes, I like to hold on Tone It Up nutrition plan, since I really love Karena and Katrina's diverse and delicious meals.
