    I do Taco Salad a alot- I buy the ground beef or turkey and make up a large batch. I freeze it in individual serving sizes!

    For dinner/lunch- just throw the lettus, cherry tomatoes, onions and whatever else you want- heat the the meat up and toss on the salad- I put 1 serving of cheese on top and some no fat sour cream!

    Its great for dinner or lunch!

    and...I only have to make it once every few weeks. I do that with alot of stuff. I bake a bunch of chicken and then freeze them- good for wraps, salads, fajitas,rice, stir frys etc....

    simple, healthy breakfast: greek yogurt.. mix in anything you like. fruits, nuts, cereal. i've been mixing in peanut butter, almonds, and some sweetener.. it's even great for dessert!

    lunch: grilled fish, grilled chicken.. with lots of sauteed veggies. i sautee mine in a pan with cooking spray, hot sauce and spices. i also have used citrus juice.. yummy.

    dinner: sometimes i make extra of those sauteed veggies and mix it in with some egg-whites and cheese. smoothies are also quick, healthy, and delicious. use greek yogurt, frozen fruits, water (or juice) and some sweetener. add protein powder if you'd like, too.

    I also do greek yogurt with honey/vanilla/berries (whatever) for breakfast. Salad for lunch. I usually cook/prep in advance for dinner.

    I made a lot of food on the weekend and freeze it in individual servings. During the week, I use the slow cooker to keep the house cool and minimize cooking time. :)
