@balancebyhilary SWIPE to see my staple convenience items! It is beach week for me and just because I leave on Thursday does not mean I’m going to let the first half of my week be a wash. At the same time, I will be busy packing and getting everything in order to leave so spending a ton of time cooking is definitely not in the cards. One reason I have had long-term success with macros is that I utilize convenience items when I am busy. I know what my go to staples are that allow me to hit my macros and still reach my goals without having to do an elaborate meal prep. Here are some of my faves this I’ll be using this week: 1️⃣ pre-made protein shakes. The ease of being able to grab these and go is priceless! I love that I don’t have to deal with a shaker bottle and that I can get 30 g of protein down easily! fairlife are my fave🤩 2️⃣ frozen veggies. Pair some frozen veggies with your favorite protein with a tasty sauce and boom you’ve got a macro friendly meal in minutes! I love love love all of greengiant but this one is my fave and the whole bag is 140 cals! 3️⃣ salad kits. Another easy way to get those volume veggies in. Just add protein! I use half the dressing and toppings to keep the fat macros in check. 4️⃣ frozen dinners + frozen veggies. So simple. healthychoicebrand makes some awesome lunch and dinner options. I love adding greengiant riced broccoli to up the volume and keep me full for hours! 5️⃣ tuna packs & individual guac cups. Pair these with some veggies & good crackers and this is an awesome lunch you can take to-go. I like starkistcharlie & eatwholly 6️⃣ individual nut butters. I keep these around as a quick grab option to pair with apples or bananas or crackers! Awesome way to snack and hit your macros. rxbar & target makes awesome ones! 7️⃣ individual yogurt cups. I usually buy big containers of yogurt but taking time to portion out during a busy week is not a vibe.👎🏼 Love just grabbing these and logging them quickly with my barcode scanner and being on my way. icelandicprovisions is my fave😍 especially coconut! What are your go-to convenience items?👇🏼
