WHAT I EAT IN A DAY LONG DAY AT WORK AS A DISABLED GIRL// Trying to eat good food for my body

Hiya!
I’m Ellie and this channel follows me on my journey through life, navigating chronic illness and disability in a world that wasn’t designed for us. Today I was working until late so my focus was on food to keep me going all day. I really struggle to find the time to make good food and healthy food so any tips would be great!

    Batch make smoothies and freeze them in mason jars - you can throw in loads of good ingredients, and just grab them out of the freezer the night before or the morning you are heading out

    I always add some neutral protein powder to my smoothies as well to try and make it a more balanced meal/snack that will keep me fuller and fueled longer

    Frozen ready meals!! Tesco do some pre-done bags of paella and risotto, all you have to do is heat it up in a pan! Has veg in it so you don't have to worry about adding sides and extras, only takes 5ish minutes to heat it up! If you start cooking, I highly recommend mixed bags of frozen veg, that way you don't have to do any prep work and you don't have to worry about it going out of date quickly

    i like to eat skyr (icelandic yoghurt) or greek yoghurt and put in some prechopped nuts and either cut up some berries/fruits and add them or buy frozen ones and put those in if i take it to go (as in i’ll eat it later so that the frozen things can soften up a bit) sometimes i add some honey or maple syrup on top so it’s sweeter.😊 for something salty i usually just have bread with cream cheese and some cut up veggies on the side or make a cheese and ham sandwich and bring some tomatoes. some days i either have a banana or an apple or an orange as a little snack. other days i have biscuits or both haha

    For cooking I love making hearty soups in the crockpot. Its nice when you just have to cut things up (or buy them pre-cut) throw it in a pot and forgert about it for the rest of the day till its time to eat. For snacks I like having fruiit and yogurt or some jerky or some chips

    I actually have an idea for healthy snacks! I get double chocolate protein cookies 🍪, they’re individually wrapped (so can take them out), high protein, low sugar & taste like a normal cookie & great energy boost 😋 I have a link for 45% off your first order if you want, but this isn’t an ad lol, I’ve just being getting them myself for a year or so myself ☺️

    For snacks I tend to grab granola bars, trail mix, protein drinks, or put together cheese & salami & crackers (or just some cheese if I'm in a rush lol). Currently working on widening my selection so I will be reading the rest of these comments too 😅

    @SmallandStrong66 Oh, interesting! I didn't realize that was an American phenomenon, sorry 😅 My mom has sometimes thrown nuts and dried fruit (and some chocolate) together to make it from scratch, but that is definitely less easy

    I could do it in a big mason jar and then take what I fancy with me… although we all know I’d take the M&Ms and leave the rest
