Healthy Eating Weeknight Meal Prep Spicy Shrimp Recipe

Healthy Eating Weeknight Meal Prep Spicy Shrimp Recipe

2019 is the year of habits for our family. Between the 2 of us, we are juggling 3 jobs, a million after school activities and a handful of out of town trips, and that’s just in Q1. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to grab fast food, throw some nuggets on a plate for dinner and binge on Netflix. I think when we don’t intentionally decide to do something, we unintentionally decide to do the exact opposite. Same is true when it comes to healthy eating. I want to be more intentional with our meals and menus so we make our healthy eating habits a little easier and stress free! I’ve noticed when we stock our fridge with healthy options, our whole family is more likely to reach for it. For Kai, that means washing all her fruit ahead of time and cutting them up so she can easily grab ‘em. For the whole family, it means meal prepping ahead of time! I know, I know, meal prep is not so hard or boring when you have the right recipe! It doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating. You can start small and just double the recipe so you can have lunches for the next day. Grilling is an easy way to make more proteins and sides without the extra effort.

Ever since I discovered the new Rubbermaid® TakeAlongs® Meal Prep Containers, the “prep” part is even more a breeze! These containers come in an affordable 10 pack, large enough for a whole work week’s lunch and dinners. My favorite part is the built-in divider to keep your sides separate. The lid snaps on super tightly with Quik Clik Seal™ technology so you don’t have to worry about spills. The easiest part, the Rubbermaid® TakeAlongs® Meal Prep Containers are microwave, dishwasher, freezer safe and BPA free! Until 2/10 you can save extra on these nifty containers with Walmart special roll back savings!
