I usually make a Smoothie that consists of a banana, some plain fat-free yogurt, 1 scoop chocolate Orgain protein powder, about 1/2 cup almond milk, and some frozen blueberries. Sometimes I add Chia seeds, instant coffee, or cocoa powder. This smoothie is filling enough for me til I need a small snack around 3:00.
I relied a lot on using a slow cooker. I planned out what meals to have each week and I planned to make enough to have leftovers. I often made a new meal on Mondays and Wednesdays, leftovers on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
