COUSCOUS PREPPIN'

So one way to ensure you're going to eat healthy the next day at work is by prepping the night or weekend before. I know in the morning I'm always rushing and being able to quickly grab my lunch is a time saver! Below is a simple and quick dish that will keep you on track & on time! =)

INGREDIENTS

Couscous- I had Israeli Couscous in the house but any will work
Himalayan or Sea Salt
Paprika
Shallots
Garlic Infused Oil or Olive Oil
Garlic
Scallions
Carrots
Shitake Mushrooms
Cucumbers

Start by preparing your seasonings- you can use anything you like, this was just what I felt like having (not too much salt though, we are trying to be clean!)
Cook Couscous according to package directions; add in seasoning
Chop up your veggies! I also used shitake mushrooms (not pictured)
A few minutes into cooking your Couscous put in the shitake mushrooms and carrots first (cook about 7 min or according to taste), followed by the scallions (another 1-2 min)
 Then I transferred into my lunch bowl for tomorrow and topped with my cucumbers (which I didn't cook because I like them crunchy and raw)

 Happy Prepping!
