Easy dinners, fresh lunches + summer picks I love


Hi Reader,

Happy Saturday! I don't know about you, but life has felt really full lately with the end of the school year approaching... conferences, field trips and plotting out our summer plans.

What's been saving me — truly — is having a solid rotation of meals that are easy, high-protein, and actually taste good.

I'm still in the midst of my calorie deficit (read my week 3 update here). I had a little stall with work travel in week 4 but I'm still feeling really good and ready to hop into week 7!

For this week's meal ideas, I switched up the formatting a bit. I'd love for you to reply to this email and let me know your thoughts on it if you have a minute. Enjoy!

High-Protein Crepes

High-Protein Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

They feel fancy, take barely any time to make, and are always the first thing gone when I bring them somewhere.
