#232 Last Week’s Meals

If you guys want to eat more heathy but you need some inspiration, here are all the healthy meals prepared last week :) Hope you like it xx

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m in Alicante (Spain) for 4 weeks so taking the opportunity to cook my own meals rather than eating out all the time!

The food availability isn’t as good as Australia (definitely took that for granted!), and I didn’t want to buy lots of condiments that would go to waste when we leave. So the meals are pretty simple.

Also, I’m not counting calories or macros or anything, just trying to eat healthy.
