Healthy eating is a skill that not all of us have mastered. If it's not your forte, allow us to let you in on a little secret: it's all about the meal planning. Dedicating a little time to stocking your fridge with healthy foods that you like to eat makes it a no-brainer next time you need to make a smart choice when you're hungry.
As part of our month-long Eat Well, Feel Great challenge, we dare you to give this healthy meal planning a try. We've already done some of the work for you.
We've found five healthy and versatile recipes for you to prep on Sunday, that'll keep in the fridge for a while so you can grab them for quick dinners, packed lunches and on-the-go breakfasts. Oh, and we also made you a grocery list of all the ingredients you'll need to make these awesome recipes. (You can find that below.) Folks, you are welcome.
