This week I’m going to try and resolve once and for all my “last minute dash” problem. I like making things fresh, I like eating things fresh. But, I need to resolve the problem of when I get called into work or when I’m at work all day and end up eating takeaway because I didn’t “think”. In the past, if I’ve pre-prepared green smoothies the night before, or my own muesli bars or something like that, I’ve been fine to skip to work last-minute ‘grab n go’. But when I’m not prepared, I always eat fast-food. I need to get some more ideas. So far, my list is small but I’ll update this list as the week goes on (I’ll have more time later in the week):

  • Soups
  • Curries
  • Casseroles
  • Muffins
  • Muesli Bars
  • Green Smoothies

Do you have a great idea? What do you do? Please let me know on Facebook, email, or comment below.. I really want to know some great staples for “grab n go” healthy food or food that can be cooked in batches and heated/eaten very quickly..   Updated 8th June – Ok, so I failed this task pretty badly. Day one I did well, but every day afterwards, I strayed off the path. I’ll have to do this task again. And I’ll have to rename this week to something else.. :/

Wow, I’m really not doing well on the research this week am I.. and I’m working for the next 4 days so it would’ve been ideal to learn more than banana & dates before now. Oh Well.. will continue, but there’s just so many things I’m learning right now, that I’m just not allocating time to this, although I have a great desire to. This week I’ve been watching Ted Talks, various documentaries, listening to consciousness-like podcasts and more, and I’m really stirred up about some of them which is making me dig deeper and deeper and that has my focus right now.
