1. If you love smoothies for breakfast, make sure they have fat and protein for staying power.
A slush of fruit, spinach, and almond milk might be sweet and refreshing, but it's almost all carbs. Meaning, you'll either crash or be super hungry in just a couple of hours. Add Greek yogurt, nut butter, nuts, avocado, or your favorite protein powder to your smoothie, and it'll keep you full through lunch.

2. If the convenience of a meal kit delivery service appeals to you, try SunBasket. All ingredients are organic, and they cater to special diets.
3. Try making your own condiments from scratch. They'll have fewer ingredients, and they'll probably taste better.
4. For dinner, swap denser carbs like bread, rice, and potatoes for cauliflower. The resulting dish will have a similar flavor profile, often with fewer calories and fewer carbs.
5. For a healthier Tex-Mex-inspired dinner, pile your favorite burrito ingredients into zucchini boats.
6. Swap sugary peanut butter for the natural, sugar-free kind.
7. Don't just meal prep your lunches; make big batches of snacks and dinners, too!
