A lot of working moms tell me that healthy meal prep is one of the areas where they struggle the most. They have the best intentions to cook more, and to get healthier meals on the table.

However, life intervenes: youth sports practices, work-related travel, social commitments, etc. When life gets busy like this — and we don't have the right plan in place — home cooked meals fall by the wayside, and take-out becomes the new normal. Which is okay once in awhile, but not every day.

Too many restaurant meals and take-out burritos can leave us feeling bloated, low-energy, and burned out. On top of that, it makes us feel like a lame parent.

Which is a problem when you're a working mom — this gig would be a lot easier, and more fun, if we had more energy and felt better, right?
