I HATE meal prep - feels like eating leftovers every day. Any advice on quick meals? Food scale at the office, access to fridge and microwave, hate leftovers or reheating

It’s all about the sauce you use to flavor your protein/veggies otherwise yes, your meal will seem bland and like left overs. I follow Equinox’s blog (Futhermore) - they have some great weekly meal prep guides with shopping list included and how to mix up the dishes from day to day.

Honestly because if time, I just eat salads every day and vary my veggies, but skip the dressing, sub lemon juice and add salt/pepper instead.

If you don't mind spending, there are tons of food prepping companies popping up that will deliver to your home or office.

Otherwise I tend to prep multiple kinds of meals and throw them in the freezer. Over time I end up with a huge variety and pick and choose what I want.

Other times I'll meal prep a large quantity of grilled chicken, but just do something different with it each day (one day a sandwich, one day with veggies, one day over rice with sauce, etc...)

Did you do the NIPT? I just had my first prenatal appt and they scheduled me for the NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m a little nervous and anxious. Did anyone get it and got a false positive? Do you not recommend it? I wish I could ask family but we’re not telling anyone until the 12 weeks mark.

I’ve been getting into a healthier routine and make a meal replacement smoothie every morning. I bought a bunch of palisade peaches from a stand and chopped some up and froze them.

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

It’s sucks that I don’t have enough interest to continuously focus on the projects, but now I have even less motivation because I dread dealing with my manager.
