15 Faster Than Fast Food, Healthy Meal Options
When stress is high, time is low, and even thinking about what to put together on a plate is panic inducing, I totally understand why fast food seems like the most obvious option. It's convenient, it's cheap, and well... it's fast.
But you and I both know that if living a healthy lifestyle, weight loss, and/or increased energy are the goals, fast food is not the way to get there.
But that doesn't change the fact that sometimes (or more often than not) even 20 or 30 minutes in the kitchen preparing a meal is too much time.
Heck, I'm there often. There are tons of times I have literally 5 minutes between clients and I have to get food in my face before I'm on the floor for another 4 hours straight.
I know the importance of fast and easy. But I also know the importance of prioritizing healthy choices. Which is why I've put together this list of snacks and meals that will take you faster to put together than it would take you to drive to a fast food restaurant, wait in line, place your order, and wait for your food to come out.
I have also put together an extra special freebie for you today that I think you are going to absolutely love!
