Meal Prep: Protein Pancakes w/Yogurt and DIY Charcuterie Boxes

I threw together this week’s meal prep with what was in the fridge, and I was fortunate enough to get decent meals out of it!

                I am all for making things simple, especially if you live alone. Why make life harder than it needs to be?

Breakfast: Protein Pancakes with Yogurt

                My breakfast for the week includes:

-          1 Buckwheat Protein Pancake (recipe below)

-          ½ cup of Greek yogurt

-          ½ cup of blueberries

-          2 Tbsp of sugar free syrup

-          A sprinkle of cinnamon

Easy peasy.

Lunch: DIY Charcuterie Boxes

                I made my own adult Lunchable with:

-          2 oz of turkey slices

-          1 slice of cheddar cheese

-          2 hard boiled eggs

-          1 miniature cucumber, sliced

-          Half a navel orange

-          Crackers

Congrats! You’re done! Go to bed!
