Clean Eating Food Prep - Daily Example

Since many people tend to struggle with food prep we like to share our food prep pictures on our social media accounts (find us on Instagram, Facebook, and follow us on Pinterest). In case you have missed them, here are a few of our recent food prep pictures! Food prep is one thing that always keeps us on track since we lead such busy lives. Almost all of the recipes on our website are great for food prep and taste awesome as leftovers. We both eat breakfast and dinner at home but our three meals throughout the day are always prepared ahead of time!

The picture above is of Scott's meals for work (not including his carbs like brown rice and sweet potatoes or his veggies). Pictured is Grass-Fed Beef browned with onions, Taco Soup, and Chicken Salad!

Above is a picture of my meals for a day when I was going to be gone all day. I had Chocolate Chunk Homemade Protein Bars, Monster Meatloaf, and Pan-Seared Mahi Mahi with Brown Rice and Mixed Veggies.

We hope that these inspire you!

Clean Eating Lifestyle: Eat Clean Weekly Food Prep

As many of you know, food prep is a big part of our weekly routine. We even wrote an eBook about it! We actually enjoy prepping our food as it is a way for us to relax and get prepared for the week ahead. Not a food prep person? That's okay! When you cook each day just make a little extra for lunch the next day. You just need to find which method works best for you and your family. If you tend to grab the unhealthy food items because you haven't made anything then it might be time to start prepping your food in advance! Below is an example of one of our food prep days! All of these recipes are gluten free (or can be made gluten free) and usually last us 3-4 days!

Grilled Kickin' Chicken

Chicken Salad

Chicken Chili

Lean Mean Cheeseburger

Sweet-Sweet Potato Cubes

P.S. How to Boil Eggs in the Oven

We hope these inspire you to start prepping your healthy food or at least use these recipes to make healthy meals each day!

You can learn more about food prep on this page and also read about our eBook here.

A Clean Eater's Fridge After Food Prep!

It's Food Prep Sunday again!  The weeks seem to go by so fast!  We've talked about food prep many times before but we wanted to give you a quick peek into our fridge (pantry coming soon!).

We usually do our grocery shopping on Saturday or Sunday morning so that our fridge is stocked with the items we need for food prep.  You can view our grocery list here and also get food prep tips and tricks in our Food Prep eBook here.

Stock your fridge with lean protein (chicken, lean turkey), complex carbohydrates (brown rice, sweet potatoes {after cooked}), healthy fats (natural peanut butter), and organic fruits and vegetables so you will have healthy meals to last the whole week!

Below is a list of items that we always keep on hand in our fridge.

• Organic Eggs
• Cartons of Pasteurized Liquid Eggs Whites (added to protein shakes for extra protein)
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Natural Peanut Butter
• Greek Yogurt
• Organic Spinach

Below is what is on our food prep menu for today.

• Salsa Chicken
• Bison Chili
• Zesty Grilled Chicken
• Boiled Eggs
• Homemade Protein Bars
• Quinoa
• Juice

As we have stated before, everyone is different so the amount of food you will need to cook will vary.  Below are some guidelines from our Food Prep eBook to help you can plan on how much to prep.

1. Plan your needs based off the fact that you will eat every 2-3 hours and DO NOT skip meals.

2. Meals should be between 200-400 calories depending on personal caloric need.

3. Each meal should consist of a lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and vegetables. It is also recommended to get 2-3 servings of healthy fats per day.
