“Being a dancer who only gets a 30 minute lunch break, makes finding a lunch that is filling but not heavy, nutritious but not bland, tricky but not impossible! For many people the thought of meal prep is scary. But what if I told you it’s actually not that bad. The thing that makes it feel overwhelming is probably just the fact that you’re not sure where to start. I mean the whole point of meal prep is to save time, save money and to eat more healthily. Those are big boxes to check! But as a meal prep lover, my goal is to help you make your lunches stress free and fully satisfying.” – Abigail Mattox ballerina with the Estonian National Ballet
