Suggested Food Prep Sequence

This is a suggested sequence of steps you could use to prep all of the items listed above. Whether you continue to practice this way or simply take away parts of it that work, organized cooking and food- prepping is a valuable lifestyle skill that you can use for years to come.

1. Start out by turning your oven to 400 F, and while it’s pre-heating, do the steps needed for the Butternut Squash Frittata. Once the squash is in the oven, set a timer for 20-25 minutes.

2. Get the Quinoa on the stove and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

3. Do the steps to prep the Turkey Veggie Stew. Start cooking it and then get the Asparagus prepped and in the oven.

4. At this point your squash should be ready for the next steps. Mash it down and get the crust on the stove. Finish and put away the quinoa and turkey veggie stew.

5. Prep the veggies and chicken for the Lemon Chicken recipe. Start cooking the chicken. The frittata should be ready for the eggs at this point, so finish the last steps and get it back in the oven.

6. Once the asparagus and frittata finish cooking, lower the oven to 350 F. Prep the Shredded Chicken Breast and get them in the oven for 30 minutes.

7. Mix up the batter for the Pumpkin Protein Muffins. Put them in the oven. They should be done cooking along with the chicken breasts.

8. Get the Oatmeal on the stove and while you wait for it to boil, mix up the Sun-dried Tomato Pesto.

9. Chop up the vegetables for the Mixed Green Salad. Toss with the greens and whisk up the dressing. Store these separately. Measure and mix the Trail Mix.

10. Finally, package up your Green Smoothie Bags if you decided to make them ahead of time. If not, make sure your greens are washed and bagged and the fruit is clean and ready to be added daily.

Weekly Green Smoothie Prep:

When I get home, the first thing I do is wash my fruits and vegetables in a basin of warm water with a little apple cider vinegar (approximately 1/4 cup for a sink half full of water).

Since some of my fruits and veggies are going into smoothies this week, I’ll sometimes save myself time later by bagging up ingredients like the greens and some fruits and setting them aside for quick smoothie making later.

I’ll also chop up any greens I plan to cook with later as it’s super convenient to have pre-washed and ready veggies on hand. For example, I’ll take the stalky stems off the kale and chunk it up into a bag so I can quickly cook it later.

These are all optional ideas to help you get organized - try them out to see what you like and find most helpful. Here is a quick video to show you how I sometimes do green smoothie set-ups.

Use the recipes for this week’s green smoothies.

Carbs

quinoaYield: approximately 5 servings*You will need: medium sized pot, measuring cups

1 1/4 cups dry quinoa2 1/2 cups water

Optional Soaked method – to partially predigest the grain - Place quinoa in a bowl and cover with water and 1 T apple cider vinegar. Cover and allow to soak for 8 hours. Drain through a cheesecloth or similar and cook in fresh water. This is easily accomplished by setting it out first thing in the morning, and cooking it when you come home, or start it at night and cook it the next day.

1. Measure quinoa and rinse very well in a mesh strainer.2. Add the water to saucepan and then add the quinoa. If you soaked your quinoa overnight,

reduce the amount of water to 1 3/4-2 cups.3. Cover and cook over medium heat until it comes to a low boil. 4. Reduce heat slightly and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until quinoa has absorbed all

the water and is light and fluffy.

*This recipe will make 5 servings if you are eating 1/2 cup servings. If you are feeling hungry or are more active, you may increase the serving size to 3/4-1 cup.

old-fashioned oatmealYield: 4-5 servings You will need: large pot, liquid measuring cup, measuring cup

The night before:3/4 cup steel cut oats1 cup filtered water2 T acidic medium (any of these: yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, etc.)

1. Place oats in a large bowl and cover with 1 cup water, and add in your acidic medium.2. Cover and leave on the counter (not the fridge) for at least 7 hours, but no longer than 24

hours.3. After soaking, rinse and strain off any excess liquid and set the oats aside.4. Combine soaked oats with 1 cup fresh, filtered water on the stovetop. Allow to simmer for

10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool, cover, and store in the fridge.

How to See the Nutrients in Your Meals

In each of your meals, I’ve used a letter to represent which nutrients are included to help you recognize them.

P: ProteinC: CarbG: Greens/VeggiesF: Fat

V: the Vegetarian/meatless option - will include the nutrients for you as well.

This can be super helpful if you are trying to swap out different foods for the foods in your meals - if for example you are dining out, or haven’t done all of your prep yet and looking for good alternatives that would work just as well as what’s on the daily menu.

I encourage you to include the green smoothie, even on your NSA meal day, because the fiber and nutrients will help your body process some of the other foods you're eating.

If you go out to eat on a non-NSA day, try to order something similar to what you would have made.
