daily meal plan: number seventeen

See my first post in this series to understand a little more about how I put together my meals.

DAILY MEAL PLAN

BREAKFAST: Brown sugar, cinnamon, walnut apple chia seed oatmeal

Product tips & suggestions:

• Oatmeal: Trader Joe’s, Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal
• Chia seeds: I recommend buying these from the bulk bins at your local grocery store – much more affordable!  Trader Joe’s also sells a bag for $4.99

LUNCH: Snack Plate Lunch – turkey and cheese rollups, sliced fruit, whole grain crackers and a piece of fruit

Product tips & suggestions:

• Turkey: Boar’s Head Lower Sodium Turkey Breast
• Cheese: Boar’s Head Lacey Swiss or other Lower Sodium option, Cabot Snack Packs, Sargento
• Crackers: Hint of Salt Triscuits, Trader Joe’s Woven Wheat Crackers, Mary’s Gone Crackers Original Crackers

SNACK: Small latte and a piece of fruit – or choose from one of these other options!

Product tips & suggestions:

• Latte: Try to stick with a plain latte (just espresso and milk) versus one with a lot of add-ins which can add up the sugar and calories in the drink without offering much nutrition

DINNER: One-Pot Chipotle Chicken Black Beans and Rice

Product tips & suggestions:

• Chicken: I like to buy boneless, skineless chicken breasts
• Black Beans: If buying canned, I look for low-sodium or no salt added

note: product suggestions are my own personal preferences based off careful analysis of nutritional facts and taste preference.  products provided to me free of charge or on a sponsorship basis will be noted however rest assured i will never recommend a product that i don’t personally use and enjoy!
