Balsamic Scallops & Asparagus over Spaghetti Squash

Today was a PERFECT day for meal prepping!! Easter is over and it was FINALLY nice outside! So the grill came out, I took my challenger grocery shopping and we prepped our meals for the week together!

Some of the groceries we bought were:

VEGGIES:

Green beans

Asparagus

Spaghetti Squash

Butternut Squash

Onions 

Tomatoes

Spring mix/Spinach 

Mushrooms

Protein:

Chicken

93% Lean Beef (for hubby and maybe I'll have some stuffed peppers :) )

Egg whites

Tilapia

Scallops

Fats:

Natural Peanut Butter

EVOO

Almonds (raw and yes I buy coconut almonds by blue diamond)

PB2 (peanut butter powder with 85% less fat)

Dairy:

Almond milk

Greek Yogurt (plain)

Other:

Balsamic Vinegar

Agave nectar

Fresh minced garlic

So here is an example of what I get when I am eating clean and prepping for the week.  Since my NPC Figure Competition Saturday, I have literally fallen off track with my eating which I kinda new it was going to happen because I was allowing myself to enjoy a couple days before cracking back down to the grind.  Fortunately, I actually miss my clean foods!  Once you are eating so healthy, your body and taste buds get acquired to what you are feeding your body with, just as if you eat unhealthy. 

So on a good note, I'm excited for this meal prep and get back into my regimen!
