Meal prep recipes + back to school lunch ideas πŸ™‚


​

Hi Reader,

Back to school season is here and if your house is anything like mine, the mornings are about to get a whole lot more hectic. πŸ˜„ Before I get into this week's recipes I wanted to share something I put together with my favorite kid-approved lunch recipes, tips for making packing easier, and all the lunchbox essentials I swear by. It's the perfect place to start if you're trying to get ahead of the school year chaos!

Now onto the meal prep recipes! The best thing I've found to survive the school year without losing my mind is doing a little meal planning and prep on the weekend. Breakfasts that are grab and go, lunches that come together in minutes, and dinners that are on the table fast without a ton of cleanup. This week's lineup is built exactly for that. Family friendly, easy to prep ahead, and actually delicious.

READER FAVORITE THIS WEEK

Viral Date S’mores

"Wow!! These were so easy to make and totally satisfied my s’mores craving. I never would have thought to use dates this way, but they were absolutely delicious!" - Alexis


Easy Protein Bars

They take 10 minutes to make, are packed with real ingredients (no weird stuff), and actually taste good. Perfect for snacks, lunchboxes, or when you need something quick and filling on the go.

Zucchini Bread Protein Balls

These are such a delicious way to sneak in some veggies while satisfying your sweet tooth. πŸ₯’


Workout Sets I've Been Reaching For Nonstop

Sharing some of my favorite activewear pieces! These are the sets I wear most often because they're lightweight, flattering, and hold up really well. Perfect for workouts, walks or errands.

Casual Summer Look

I've been reaching for this outfit on repeat lately. The sweater vest is lightweight enough for summer but still feels polished, and paired with denim shorts and comfy sandals it's an easy look that works for just about anything.

Wishing you and your family the smoothest back to school season yet! Here's to easy mornings and even easier dinners.

Talk soon,

Brittany
