This fall I started graduate school and my life quickly became extremely busy. It's been a steep learning curve in adjusting to being a student again, while still juggling work and maintaing my health. But my health is my utmost priority, so I've figured out how to eat healthy on a grad-student's schedule and budget. My trick is to make a bunch of food on Sunday and pack it into tupperwares for my lunches for the week. Since I have no time to be creative and make elaborate meals, I have been sticking with the essentials: green vegetables, protein, and some good carbs. The easist thing for me to make is a raw kale salad, quinoa, and cut up some Tofu-Yu tofu (or another delicious marinated tofu that doesn't need to be cooked) and toss it all together. It's fast, fairly cheap, and very healthy. When I get sick of this, I might add some roasted sweet potatoes, avocados, substitute tempeh for tofu, etc. But this has been my staple meal since I started school. Though I wish I could blog about a fabulously intricate and unique dish I've invented, I just don't have time for that. And perhaps you don't either? So if you're a busy bee like me, try this out!
