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mixed bags of frozen veg, that way you don't have to do any prep work and you don't have to worry about it going out of date quickly

Oohhh that’s such a good idea!
Meat and cheese I love food instant pot like the mini carrots onions potatoes and a roast I'm going to cook for a few hours. You water in it. And then good food eat few times
Meal prep and freeze! Snacks: rice cake, fruit with dip like hummus or peanut butter, popcorn/ nuts/ pretzles

Meal prep is something I really need to get my head around! I really want to start though
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’ve never had a crockpot or a slow cooker but I feel like winter might be the time for me to try it!
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 ☺️

Ooh that’s a great idea! I’m really trying to get protein in at the minute so I’ve been having protein yogurt pouches. I’d love to try these!
Amazing video by the way and I really enjoyed watching it on KZread as well

@@SmallandStrong66 your welcome Ellie
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 😅

When I was in America I loved trail mix but I’ve never found it in the uk

@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

@SmallandStrong66 Ooh yeah that would work! Lol we all know the m&ms are really the whole point of trail mix...
