Yum – those quinoa bars look amazing 🙂 I always prep my fruit for the week, make sure it is washing and ready for me to grab in the mornings! Since there are only two of us, I don’t do a ton of prep as our dinners usually provide us with leftovers for lunch the next day. When we have kids I’m sure I’ll have to do a little more planning!
Fitcupcaker
yea, I love leftovers…I usually plan all my dinner meals because my hubby doesnt like to cook 😦

I really love a good homemade granola bar. I feel so much better about eating those as opposed to processed store-bought granola bars that are full of preservatives.
Fitcupcaker
I agree!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance
The quinoa raisin bars looks very tasty!! My go-to meal prep every week is my daily lunch salad. I make sure all the produce has been washed, chopped and thrown into containers so I can grab-n-go. 🙂
Lisa @ Lisa the Vegetarian
I love meal planning for the week on the weekends. I think lunch prep is one of the most important things to do ahead of time, because who wants to be chopping veggies/assembling food late at night or early in the morning on an already hectic work day?

thanks girl 🙂

I love using quinoa in granola bars. These look heavenly!!! And those Tex Mex lettuce wraps might just get added to our weekly list too. I am working on it right now : )
I made the blueberry muffin bake this AM and I ended up with baked oatmeal instead. Not sure what I missed. What kind of oats did you use?
Fitcupcaker
Oh no so sad 😦 I am sorry. What kind of protein powder did you use? ALso did you add the baking powder?? Ive used quick oats and steel cut oats.
Luv What You Do
I did do baking powder but no protein powder. Ohh I may have forgotten the salt. I bet that was what happened. Luckily it still tasted great and I can’t wait to try it again!
Fitcupcaker
as long as it tasted good! I have found that Some oats do work better than others…the other day it took about 25 minutes instead of 20 too..,.just keep experimenting 🙂
Luv What You Do
I will do! Posting pictures today because it really was a tasty breakfast!
Fitcupcaker
I forgot also, the protein powder added extra dry ingredients so if you left it out thats about 2 tbsp so yours might have been a thinner consistency due to that!

I feel like quinoa is popping up all over the place because of it’s great nutritional value for people , I’ve never had it- I’m usually an oats and brown rice girl, but after seeing this recipe, I think I’m going to start giving it a shot.
Fitcupcaker
You can use it in so many ways! You should def try them!
