Happy Monday!! Yesterday when I was grocery shopping I stumbled upon some watermelon radishes 🍉!! Have you tried?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Needless to say these radishes were definitely part of my lunch prep this week 🤗. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Watermelon radish & kale power bowl: -2 watermelon radishes, sliced -3 small sweet potatoes, cut into rounds -1 head of broccoli -baby kale -1 zucchini, spiralized -1 block of tempeh -1/4 package of chik’n @quornusa -drizzle of sweet heat sriracha dressing @bolthousefarms •••• I tossed the broccoli and sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Roasted at 400 F for 25 minutes. I cut the tempeh into cubes and marinated in soy sauce, lime juice, and maple syrup 😋. I cooked both the tempeh and chik’n in a skillet for about 5 minutes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Easy lunch assembly this week 🙌🏻. What did everyone prep this week?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨✨PS—> for all my local Cincy people I’ll be taking over @itsworkingouttrx stories tomorrow so be sure to follow them so you can see what I’m up to 😎.

Happy hump day foodies!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I made these easy, yet delicious energy bites last week and they have been fueling me through this busy week! It’s been way overdue since I’ve made a new energy bite recipe to share with you guys. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What I love about making energy bites is that they don’t take long to make, packed with energizing ingredients and the perfect on the go fuel! ••••• Peanut butter & chocolate oatmeal bites 🍫🥜: 1 c old fashioned oats @quaker 1/2 c creamy peanut butter (you can sub your favorite nut butter!) 1/4 c hemp seeds @manitobaharvest 3 tbsp coconut flakes 1/4 c chocolate chips 2 tbsp agave nectar 1 tsp salt 2-4 tbsp almond milk ••••• Direction: melt the peanut butter + agave in the microwave using a glass bowl. Add in the hemp seeds, salt and old fashioned oats and mix. Then add in the milk slowly until the mixture just sticks together! Fold in the chocolate chips & coconut flakes until mixed evenly. Roll into balls and store in the fridge. ••• This made about 18 bites and I usually have 2 for a snack ☺️. What’s your favorite energy bite flavor?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy rolling 🌀

Hey 👋🏻 sorry for being so MIA these last few weeks! My life has been busy busy and I’ve hardly had time to meal prep my lunches let alone snap a pic 😬. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Slowly getting back into the game with this yummy pasta dish! Homemade pesto 🌱 and whole wheat pasta...what else could you ask for?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Definitely a simple recipe to make for dinner this weekend. For the pesto—> 2 cups basil leaves + 1/2 c pine nuts (almonds/cashews also work) + 5 oz finely grated parm cheese + 1 garlic clove minced + 1/2 c olive oil + 1/4 c lemon juice + salt. Pulse all dry ingredients in a food processor until a paste forms and then slowly add the oil, lemon juice and salt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used @barillaus whole wheat penne and added about 4 big handfuls of baby spinach. The heat from the cooked pasta wilted the spinach and then I added about 3 tbsp of reserved pasta water + the pesto and tossed it all together! Topped with some fresh basil and chik’n! @quornusa ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Friday!!

Happy Monday foodie people! These muffins right here 👆🏻might be my favorite 🤗. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love these superhero muffins from run fast.cook fast.eat slow cookbook because they’re perfect as a snack, in a yogurt bowl and freeze great too for those busy weeks when you don’t have time to prep. They sneak in some fruit, veggies, and fiber thanks to the whole wheat flour 🙌🏻. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I do need a new muffin recipe to try out though—what have been your favorite muffin recipes lately?!

Still dreaming about last night 😍. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love @northstarcafe earth day tradition of offering FREE veggie burgers to their customers. Talk about a vegetarian’s dream. ••••• If you live in cbus or Cincy you need to try this out for yourself 🍔(pretend that’s a veg burger 😂)

Happy Monday and happy 🌎 day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Time for another look at what I’m eating for lunch this week 👀. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was feeling something on the lighter and fresh side so here’s what I threw together: ••crispy chickpeas & cauliflower rice bowls•• Ingredients: 1 bag of riced cauliflower 1/2 zucchini, cubed 1 bag of greens 1 apple, sliced thin 1/4 small yellow onion, thinly sliced Handful of parsley & mint finely chopped 1 can of chickpeas 1/2 bag of chik’n @quornusa Chili powder, salt, pepper Dressing: 2 tbsp Dijon mustard + 2 tbsp agave nectar + 2 tbsp white wine vinegar + 1/4 c olive oil + 1/4 c water, 2 tbsp lime juice + salt and pepper ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I roasted the chickpeas at 400 F for 20 minutes and seasoned with above spices! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This salad tastes so fresh and I love the flavors from the dressing and fresh herbs! I’ll probably add some sliced avocado, too 😍. I recommend dressing this morning of to keep it fresh! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s been your favorite lunch to prep for the week?! Hope everyone had a great Easter 🐰.

Sharing this super easy lunch or dinner side dish! ••••• I was craving all the veggies after being gone for 4 days and I also wanted to prep something that was quick, no oven required and yummy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chopped Greek chickpea salad (inspired by @ambitiouskitchen ) was my answer! *ingredients: 1 red, orange, yellow pepper 1 English cucumber 1/2 cup kalamata olives 15 grape tomatoes, halved 1 can of chickpeas, drained Dressing: 2 tbsp olive oil + 2 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tsp dried oregano + 1 tsp garlic powder + salt and pepper to taste ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chop all ingredients and then add to a big bowl. Drizzle the dressing over and toss to combine. Let sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
