#FITGIRLCODE MENU
Sometimes I find it hard to find inspiration on what to eat. What helps me is to plan my days in advance and prep my meals a day (or two) before. To help all of you Fit Girls around the world I created a menu #FITGIRLCODE style.
What I love about this menu, is that you can prep almost everything in advance. Also you can make larger amounts of it if you don’t mind eating the same thing for a couple of days. You’ll only need to make your dinner when you come home. Make sure you have enough containers to store your prepped food in.
Breakfast - Blueberry Muffins
For breakfast I’ll have the delicious easy healthy blueberry muffins. I love these muffins because they’re so easy to make. I usually bake a lot of these muffins and put them in the freezer. When I want to have a muffin (or two) for breakfast I take it out of the freezer the night before and let it defrost. I also like to combine these muffins with a smoothie or hot water with lemon.
What do you need:
- 1,5 big bananas or 2 small ones
- 1 egg
- 1,5 cup of (uncooked) oatmeal
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- A handful of blueberries
Tip: I also like to use raspberries instead of blueberries.

Morning snack - beetroot smoothie
I don’t eat a morning snack every day, but when I have a busy or tiring day I often make a smoothie. This way I'm sure that I won't feel the need to buy other unhealthy snacks. One of my favourite ones is this pretty pink beetroot smoothie by Fit Girl Lisa. Beetroot does not just make your smoothies look real Instagram-proof, no this veggie also improves your athletic performance! Worth the try, right?
What do you need:
- 1 Beetroot (cooked)
- 1 Ripe banana
- 1 Scoop of vanilla protein powder
- Water until you have the thickness you prefer
Blend it up! Easy as that right! Tip: you can either freeze the banana or the beetroot, for a nice cold variation. Enjoy!
Lunch - Cabbage salad with tuna or chicken
For lunch I’ll have the delicious tuna cabbage salad from In love with health. I tasted this salad for the first time when Fit Girl Anna made it this week at the #FITGIRLCODE HQ. I actually never liked cabbage salads, but this one is really nice!
What do you need:
- 200 gr white cabbages
- 100 gr red cabbage
- 1 Spring onion
- 150 gr tuna (you could also use chicken filet)
- 2 tablespoons of quark
- Salt, Pepper and garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ketjap Manis
- 1 tablespoon almonds
Tip: you can also add some cucumber and/or avocado to give the salad an extra fresh taste.
