You’re a Beaver! Rolling out of bed to get everyone to their things, you’ve got a collagen coffee in one hand and your electrolyte water in the other.  You start to hit your stride at lunch and are already thinking about dinner which is when you thrive.  You’ve been feeling a little uninspired when it comes to dinner and would love some fresh ideas that you don’t need to go hunting down the Pinterest rathole for.  We’ve got you; new recipes, ideas and flavors are our jam and we are thrilled to be sharing them with you.

Before we dive into the food stuff, let’s start this party off with an evening mocktail to help you wind down, support healthy cortisol levels and manage stress.  It’s amazing what some concentrated nutrients in a pretty glass will do to your mind and body.

Cherry Pop

• 3 oz Tart Cherry Juice
• 5 oz Soda Water (Topo Chico is my favorite)
• 1 Lime Wedge
• 1-2 tbsp Canned Coconut Milk
• Optional: Scoop of Magnesium Powder

Directions | In your glass of choice, combine the tart cherry juice with the coconut milk and squeeze of lime. If you’re using magnesium add it here and mix well.  Pour in the soda water and stir lightly.  Add more lime juice is desired.    TIP:  If you have a frother, froth the coconut milk first before pouring into the glass.

Now that you have a solid drink in hand, let’s get into this and start at the beginning of a solid food plan that creates more time and space for you to do the things you love.

Meal planning is a weekly task you probably do, in fact, as a Beaver, you’ve probably got your go-to’s ingrained in your head each week on repeat .  But, have you meal prepped?  Have you spent 1-2 hours once a week prepping for the week so you have little to no cooking the rest of the week?  Maybe you’ve doubled up on dinner Sunday night for the week or prepared some breakfasts for the week, but a planned out meal prep plan can take you from having a few items in the fridge but still cooking a lot during the week, to an organized fridge with meals prepped and ready to go saving you hours every week to do the big stuff.

How to do a meal plan for families?

Winging it at dinner can be fun and exciting, but when trying to manage all the other things going on, some nights it just doesn’t cut it.  Getting a real meal is important to you, but planning in advance can be a pain in the a$$.  Outsourcing the meal plans is an easy win for you and your family.  It will give you the tools to prep ahead without all the planning, just follow the guide each week to create more time for the things you love.  Don’t spend all your time creating your own plan, try mine, you won’t be disappointed.

Is a weekly meal service really worth it?

Let me tell you about the ultimate game changer; a weekly meal service.  A meal service, ours if you’re in our area, or one close to you, can save you money, time and mental load.  

Take 5 minutes the previous week to select lunches, dinners and treats to fill in to your meal plan for the week.  Looking at your schedule and choosing a pre-prepared dinner for those super busy stressful nights and ready-to-eat lunches on those days that you are non-stop can help make sure everyone (including you) get the nutrients you need to be at your best.  Lift the mental load of planning, shopping and prepping for every meal next week.

If you find yourself tossing food at the end of the week, a meal service can help reduce or eliminate food waste making sure you’re not wasting money.  And, if you haven’t done a shop and compare between the grocery store a meal service, now is a great time to do that.  It totally feels like a luxury.  So much so, that I’ve had clients tell me they feel guilty ordering our dinners kits because they feel like they should be cooking for their families.  But heres the thing, there are so many ways to show up for ourselves and our families that are so much more important than cooking dinner and if having some dinner support a couple nights a week helps you show up in bigger ways its so worth it.  And, when you compare like ingredients, add in time saved and sanity won, a meal service really is less expensive. 

See what’s on the menu for next week.

And so my busy Beaver friend, this is a start of something beautiful where you have some new tools to support you in the background while you shine bright and keep building that dam.
