I have soup with 1 cup veggies for lunch every weekday - my on the go tip: On Sundays I chop, EVOO spray, & roast a head of cauliflower and 4-5 ribs celery, enough for 5 cups chopped veggies, with 4 garlic cloves at 350deg for ~30 minutes that I puree with some spices. I parse this out into 5 microwaveable bowls that I store in the fridge. Then in the mornings I just bring my shaker of chicken broth (adds 5 calories/cup from 1g protein) and my packet. At work I can mix up my soup, add it to my cauliflower puree, and nuke it for my quick lunch. I like the Potato Puree, Chicken Soup, and Chicken a la King the best with this puree. I also do a Roasted Poblano, Red Bell Pepper, Jalapeno, & Garlic puree - this works best with the Chicken Soup.
I also have my IP drink with 1 cup veggies (spinach) every weekday morning - that is just putting in 2 handfuls spinach (to fill blender to the top loosely) with 2 cups coffee (or water, tea, etc) & sweetener or extracts (optional), liquify spinach in blender 2 minutes, then I add my IP packet into the blender another 15 seconds. Pour it over ice in my gigantic mug and I am out the door.
I am generally a bit pooped when I get home so I just have my restricted as my 4pm snack. On weightlifting weekdays I can muster the energy to do a more creative IP + 2 egg white recipe for my 4th packet (powered from my 4pm restricted!).
It's Thursday, July 5th! What are you eating today IPeeps?
