What do you do about vegetables. My preps are not very delicious and I think they are missing vegetables. What do you think?

    Would help if you post what you made, since else I’m just guessing.

    What I can see (bottom up) is like oats/cereal with some berries, then a banana with I assume some fruits/nuts?, then chicken pasta?, then potato wedges with some butter? and then a shake?
    None of these seem like inherently problematic, but yeah if you wanted to add veggies you could add them to your snack banana, you could add them as a side somewhere, you could try to integrate them in the pasta sauce, there are quite some options even based on what you have here

    Please post all of your recipe(s) / list of ingredients!

    We recently added a rule (#6) requiring either a recipe or list of ingredients, since it is so often requested. If you wouldn’t mind adding that we’d appreciate it!

    There are TONS of steam-in-bag veggie options at the grocery store (you mentioned you don’t know how to cook them).

    However, roasting them on a sheet pan is the easiest thing ever, especially for batch meal prep. Just lay the veggies out on foil or parchment, heat the oven to 350-400. Spray the veggies with olive oil, and put the tray in the oven for about ten minutes. Asparagus and broccolini are my favorites for this method.

    I can’t really tell what you made but yes it’s very beige

    For this week just do raw veggies, make a cucumber tomato onion salad, add a splash of olive oil and vinegar and some salt. Have that the first three days- i do one cucumber as one serving

    Then the rest of the week do raw baby carrots and radishes, one lb baby carrots for four days and a few radishes. Can have with hummus or i just do some lemon pepper right before eating

    It should definitely have vegetables, but even beige food can taste good with the right seasoning- I would also experiment with seasoning to your taste as well.

  7. Those bananas are likely going to be brown by day 5/6, as they are already ripe today. Try to grab a mix of near ripe and very green next time. Should buy you a little extra time.

    I feel like this is the second time I’ve seen meal prep displayed on the floor. 

    Which is concerning because this is also the second time I’ve ever seen a post from this sub on the front page.
