Shopping At The Salad Bar. 5 containers, 10 meals, done.
So you want to eat balanced meals but have no time to prep or cook?
No problem! With this super simple salad bar meal plan, you'll have a week's worth of lunches and dinners covered in 1 shopping trip to the salad bar!
I planned the meals based on the various foods shelf life in the fridge (i.e. fish at the beginning of the week b/c it doesn't last as long, and chicken towards the end b/c it last longer).
