Full Day of Eating: Easy Summer Meals
Per usual, this isn't about eating perfectly, it's about finding meals that help me feel my best, but aren’t overly complicated.
Clear Protein Powder I used! (code “balancedwithbritt”)
Snickerdoodle Protein! (code “balancedwithbritt”)
Pre-Workout Snack
I like to keep my pre-workout snack simple and easy to digest while still giving me some quick energy/carbs before lifting!
What I had:
1 Nature's Bakery Lemon Fig Bar (sooo good!!)
Alani Nu Energy Drink
Create Creatine + Electrolytes (code “britt20”)
Post-Workout
After a workout, I always prioritize getting in some protein! 20g or more :) Clear protein is my go to!
What I had:
Clean Simple Eats Clear Protein (watermelon!)
Breakfast
Summer means I am alwayssss busy, so we are not overcomplicating breakfast. This has become one of my favorite balanced meals lately!
On my plate:
Dave's Killer Bread avocado toast (1/2 avocado + 1 slice of bread)
2 hard-boiled eggs
2 pieces of Amylu chicken sausage
Kiwi
Strawberries
This meal gives me a great balance of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and carbs to keep me full throughout the morning.
Lunch
Lately I've been obsessed with what's been dubbed the "Supermodel Snack” on tiktok lol. It's fresh, high in protein, and perfect for hot summer days when you don't feel like cooking! I also had some cheese, snack mix, and fruit on the side.
On my plate:
Sliced heirloom tomatoes
Deli turkey
Cottage cheese
Everything But the Bagel seasoning
White cheddar cheese slices
Catalina Crunch Snack Mix
Fresh fruit
It's one of those meals that looks kinda weird but takes just a few minutes to throw together and is really good!
Dinner
Dinner was one of my all-time favorite “fakeout takeout” recipes!
Panda Express Noodle Dupe
If you've been following me for a while, you know this recipe is on repeat in our house!! It tastes like Panda Express chow mein but with a macro-friendly twist that's perfect for meal prep.
Dessert
Lately I've been making this macro-friendly Snickers-salad inspired bowl and it's SO good!!
Macro-Friendly Snickers Salad
Ingredients:
½ cup fat free Greek yogurt
½ scoop protein powder (i use snickerdoodle!)
1 teaspoon sugar-free instant pudding mix (cheesecake flavor)
½ cup CocoWhip
½ green apple, diced
½ BUILT Cookie Dough Bar, chopped
Mix together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, and pudding mix until smooth. Fold in a spoonful of CocoWhip, then top with sliced apple and chopped Built Bar.
It seriously tastes like dessert while packing in plenty of protein to finish the day!! I can’t stop eating this.
Final Thoughts
One thing I hope these full day of eating posts show is that healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated. Some meals are homemade, others use convenience foods. Some are meal prep. Some are just snacks thrown together on a plate. Not perfection, just balance!
If you try any of these meals, I'd love to hear what you think! And if you're looking for even more macro-friendly recipes, be sure to browse the rest of my recipe collection here on the blog.
