I love lasagna dishes and casseroles! Put a bunch of ingredients together in a large lasagna pan, and BOOM. A meal for 6... or in my case as a single lady, 6 servings of a meal!
This has been one of the tricks I've learned while going through 80 Day Obsession. If I can create a quick and easy dish, and then let the oven do the cooking, that frees up my time to do other things... like SLEEP.
In the last few weeks of Phase 3, I've been stepping up my nutrition a notch. Autumn suggests eating from the top third of the food list, so I created a handy dandy excel spreadsheet. And it helped me realize how I wasn't really eating from the top third as often as I assumed I was. I use this to help with meal planning, as it narrows the range of foods down that I want to consume, and I can explore new-to-me foods and make "healthier" pairings for my meals.
So here's a great meal pairing for your pre-workout meal, which for me in Plan D is R, G and Y with a teaspoon (plus a P fruit, which I have on the side). Is this an "OMG SO GOOD" meal? I'm not going to lie and tell you yes, so the answer is NO. But when all you do is focus on nutrition and eating the right portions of the right foods at the right times, this is a pretty awesome go to - especially because it takes such little time to throw together! And it's not heavy, so it's perfect for pre-workout.

Egg-Veggie-Edamame-Pesto Bake
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 6
Container counts: R, G, Y, 1 teaspoon
Ingredients:
12 eggs
3 cups broccoli, chopped into small pieces
3 cups of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 bag (3 cups total) of edamame, shelled
6 teaspoons of Fixate Pesto
Cooking spray
Lasagna pan
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray lasagna pan lightly with coconut oil spray.
3. Prepare your veggies. Wash and chop/slice. For veggies like broccoli, microwave for 2-3 minutes with 1 TBSP of water to steam slightly.
4. Assemble your casserole. Spread veggies evenly across the bottom of the lasagna pan. Spread edamame evenly on top of the veggies.
5. Crack all 12 eggs into a bowl, add approximately 2 TBSP of water and 6 teaspoons of Pesto, and then whisk until well combined.
6. Pour egg mixture evenly over the veggies/edamame, and shake pan gently to help evenly distribute.
7. Place in oven and let bake for 25-30 minutes, or until eggs are set.
8. Remove from oven, let cool, and then divide into 6 servings.
I wrapped each serving individually in tin foil and stored in the fridge for 6 days. When ready to eat, I removed the tin foil, placed on a plate, and reheated in a microwave for 45-60 seconds.
What you get is a relatively tasty, super easy/quick pre-workout meal. When you're meal prepping as often as I am, this a great go-to for a healthy way to fuel your body. If you make it, let me know how you liked it, and/or what changes you suggest!
