What says summer better than a juicy burger?! The theme of this week’s Summer Meal Menus is salads, so I thought I would share a salad perfect for the season here too.
Lately, I’ve been a little lazy with my meal prep. And, I’m totally okay with it. It’s summer! We are busy! But, I have a meal prep tip for you… prep your protein. You’ve heard me talk about my protein prep tip before, but basically what I do is cook protein like ground beef, chicken and hard boiled eggs and store them so that I can easily whip up meals.
This is one that tastes amazing fresh or works well with the protein prep. It’s a lighter, low carb option, so be sure to include a fun carbohydrate side – sweet potatoes fries, maybe some chips?! #Balance
