Menu Plan 3/19/12 - 3/25/12

I thought I would start sharing my menu plans for the week. For dinner, if it's not so calorie safe, I just have a small portion and either lots more of the veggie side, or add a big 'ol salad. If in doubt, add a salad!  Breakfast is Shakeology, I usually just mix in 1 cup vanilla almond milk, 1 cup water, 1 tbs instant espresso, 1 tbs greek yogurt and 1 scoop Shakeology in my shaker cup. If I feel like using the blender I do 1 cup water, 1 cup vanilla almond milk, 1 banana, 1 tbs instant espresso and 1 tbs Better 'n Peanut Butter. If I could get my hands on some PB2, I would use that instead!

Monday:
Breakfast: Shakeology
Snack: Greek yogurt and watermelon
Lunch: Veggie burger on 100 calorie muffin with 1 wedge laughing cow light swiss, tomatoes, spinach and mustard. Salad
