Let’s be honest.
Sometimes I just feel too lazy to make a green smoothie or a kale salad. I just want to run out the door and be on my way or I just want to stuff the first thing that I see in my face.
I don’t even want to take 3 minutes to throw a bunch of things in the blender. I don’t even want to take 3 minutes to massage some oil and sea salt into a bowl of kale. Even though, I know it will make me feel so great!
So to solve this little snafu and to ease my days, I often times make at least double of what I am going to eat for that meal. Green shakes, kale salads and quinoa are the best for this.
You can make a big ole blender full of goodness and bottle it up for the next day or even later that day. I am constantly saving my own life by making extras and having it on hand.
Today, happened to be one of those days when I got busy working, working, working and then was overcome with hunger and tada there was a big ole jar yummy green goodness sitting in my fridge waiting for me. LIFE SAVER!
The same goes with massaged kale salads. They keep great for a couple of days in the fridge. I don’t know how many times I get home or finally make it to my kitchen and really the last thing I want is kale salad.
But, when I open the refrigerator door and see it staring at me I go for it every time. Often times I have saved quinoa as well so I will mix them together, maybe top it off with a little olive oil or avocado, whatever I feel like. Then, what do you know? I am then completely and utterly satisfied and fulfilled. Even the many times when I really wanted something junkier. My saved kale salad saves my day.
So, when you take time to make yourself something good, make it a double! It really doesn’t take any extra time and trust me you will really enjoy being your own life saver.
