As a busy mom, practice owner and wife- meal prep is truly a lifesaver for getting nutrient dense meals for my family on the table during on. Having nutritious options on hand makes it easier to maintain a balanced diet and care for your little ones. Here’s what I prepped this week to keep our meals simple and delicious.

1. Breakfast Burritos 🌯

These breakfast burritos are packed with protein and fiber, making them the perfect start to a busy morning. I love popping them in the air fryer for a quick meal for both myself and my daughter. Adding avocado brings in healthy fats for a nourishing touch!

Ingredients:

• 8 eggs (scrambled with milk, salt, and pepper)

• 4 slices of cheese (white cheddar or sharp cheddar works great!)

• 4-6 strips of bacon or sausage

• 4 high-fiber tortillas (I prefer those from @latortillafactory—9 grams of fiber!)

Directions:

1. Scramble the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.

2. Assemble the burritos by adding scrambled eggs, bacon, and a cheese slice.

3. Roll up the tortillas and enjoy!

2. Mediterranean Tuna Salad 🥗

This Mediterranean tuna salad is versatile and can be served with high-fiber crackers, in a wrap, or over a fresh salad. It’s a delicious way to incorporate healthy fats and plenty of flavor!

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of wild-caught tuna

• Chopped olives (measure with your heart!)

• 1/4 cup banana peppers

• 1/4 cup diced red onion and green onion

• 2-3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Drain the tuna and add all chopped ingredients to a bowl.

2. Mix well and enjoy with your favorite accompaniment!

3. PB Krispy Bites 🥜

These PB Krispy Bites are a fun and healthy sweet treat that my daughter loved! They help keep blood sugar stable, making them perfect for any postpartum mom looking for a nutritious snack.

Ingredients:

• 3 rice cakes, crumbled

• 1/2 cup drippy peanut butter

• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

• 1/4 cup vanilla or collagen protein powder

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions:

1. Crumble the rice cakes into small pieces.

2. In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, protein powder, and maple syrup, then add the crumbled rice cakes.

3. Press the mixture into a small pan (3x2 works well) and freeze for 20 minutes.

4. Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in the microwave and pour over the chilled mixture.

5. Freeze for an additional 10-15 minutes, then cut into squares and enjoy!
