Balancing school, work, and a healthy lifestyle is tough. Some days (like today!) I’ll be so caught up in writing articles and then — what time is it? Better get to the gym before it closes — and look! Room needs to be cleaned sometime in this lifetime. I’ve already lost my cat in here twice. Might as well sweep some clutter underneath the bed.

…and before you know it it’s 1:30 and your stomach’s growling. You need food, fast.

And there’s no way I’m going to give you permission to hit the drivethrough at Sonic. No way.

What this article series is about:

• Quick, easy, healthy meals. I’ll post nutrition information including the calorie count and the % of all of the essential vitamins and minerals in each dish, along with an explanation of why it’s good for you so you can create your own healthy meals!
• Eliminating excuses. Don’t tell me you don’t have time. You do! And I’ll prove it.
• Saving you $$. I’ll post the approximate price of the dish, and then I’ll compare it to what you would pay at a restaurant for the same, but less healthy, alternative. Spoiler alert: my 5-minute meals are going to save you money!

Stay tuned for the first recipe!
