The biggest problem in meal prep is trying to take on too much. I was busy all weekend and didn’t tackle any of my meal prep. will be doing it this evening because I want to go on a week cleanse. Don't be afraid to dream a little smaller, as they say. My next planned course of action is to make big batches of customizable food over the week and repurpose them into new and exciting dishes quickly for weeknights and lunches. .

f you're interested in less-hectic mealtimes, saving time in the kitchen or making healthier food choices—you need to try meal prepping. It ranges from simply preparing freezer smoothie packs for breakfast to cooking complete dinners for the upcoming week. Keep in mind, there is no one right way or method to meal prep—it's about what works best for you. And you don't need to spend your entire Sunday in the kitchen to get it done. Even spending as little as 30 minutes planning and prepping meals will make it easier to eat well during the week. .
.
.
Make-ahead meals: For those with little time to prepare meals during the week, cooking complete meals in advance to be reheated at mealtimes (like a pot of soup or a casserole) makes for superfast weeknight dinners.
.
.
.
Batch cooking/freezing: Batch cooking is preparing multiple batches of a recipe to be portioned out and frozen for meals in the weeks to come. For example, doubling a chili recipe or steaming extra rice to freeze and use in the next three to six months.

Celery Juice 101
•
•
•
Fad Diets are both my favorite and least favorite topic. Celery is King right now but other vegetables such as kale, spinach and broccoli, etc contain antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that are important in our overall health and known to be helpful in fighting disease and boosting immunity as part of our overall diet.
According to the @medicalmedium @celeryjuicebenefits
Not only is celery high in vitamins and minerals, but it is anti-inflammatory, detoxifying and gut-friendly. So here’s why you should be sipping this green juice every morning.

THYROID CLEANSING: According to Anthony William, the mineral salts in celery help to fight and cleanse the body of the Epstein-Barr virus, particularly in the thyroid. Celery can also help to boost production of important thyroid hormones in those with hypothyroidism.

LIVER DETOXIFICATION: Celery’s detoxifying properties work to remove bad bacteria, fungi, mold, viruses and other toxins from the liver; the phytonutrients found in the green stalks also can have a protective effect.

HEART HEALTHY: Studies have shown that celery extract consumption can help to prevent stroke, lower blood pressure, and reduce plaque in arteries.

NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT: Celery is a powerhouse for supporting the nervous system. It has a calming effect on the nervous system because of its detoxify properties. It also provides support through its ability to act as a blood purifier.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY: Celery contains luteolin, a potent flavonoid, that can act as an antioxidant and calm inflammation

Celery juice should be consumed immediately upon waking up, on an empty stomach for maximum benefits. You may start to feel the positive changes in as little as seven days after starting your daily celery-juice habit, but you can continue drinking it for as long as you want. You may want to start slowly with six to eight ounces and build up to 16 ounces from there. •

JULIA'S DOPE AVOCADO TOAST

Key thing is amazing fresh bread! Great fresh bread is sometimes cheaper than crappy super market bread. It has less pesticides, less preservatives, and tastes 100 times better. One of the biggest problem with modern grains is that they aren’t the same as they used to be a few hundred years ago… or even a few decades ago! And grains consumed in the U.S. aren’t the same as the grains eaten in other countries… especially when it comes to wheat.
