Let's face it, eating on the weekends is way easier and more fun than eating during the week. Especially if you have a full-time job where you don't have the time or luxury to cook or eat a healthy meal out. Planning and prepping your meals for the week ahead of time will help save you time, money, and your health and happiness levels will surely rise!
So let's get your glass containers ready for packing! Your lunch bag or cooler should consist of a healthy meal and snacks needed to get you through your work day. My cooler prevents hangriness and will keep me feeling happy and full of energy throughout the day. Remember, eat only when your hungry, or every 3 hours.
