lifesaver for working girls who hit the gym

After a draining workday, I just throw everything in the microwave for a 5 minute zero effort dinner.

This frozen veggie blend from Costco is shockingly good! The seasoning’s perfectly, not too salty or bland at all.

I’m a total lazy girl so I just microwave it straight, but if you want extra flavor you can pan-fry it instead.

... Read moreAs someone who juggles a demanding job and a regular gym routine, finding quick, healthy meals that require minimal effort is a total game-changer. This fire roasted vegetable melange from Costco has become my go-to lifesaver after exhausting days. What I really appreciate is how well-balanced the seasoning is—thanks to the Himalayan pink salt, black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil, the vegetables have a rich, smoky flavor that never feels overwhelming or artificial. Microwaving it takes just about five minutes, leaving me more time to relax or hit the gym. But if you’re like me and occasionally want a bit more flavor or texture, quickly pan-frying the veg gives it a lovely char and a warm, comforting aroma. The mix of Brussels sprouts, red and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onions provides a good variety of nutrients—vitamins, fiber, and just enough protein to help with muscle recovery. I also love that it’s vegan and gluten-free, which fits perfectly with my dietary preferences. Nutritionally, it’s low in calories and fat, yet filling, so it pairs well with a lean protein or grain if you want a more complete meal. Plus, it’s free from artificial flavors, making it an excellent choice if you care about clean eating. For busy working women who hit the gym and need a meal hack that doesn’t sacrifice health or taste, this frozen vegetable blend is a true lifesaver. It’s a prime example of how convenience doesn’t have to come at the cost of quality, and I highly recommend keeping a bag in your freezer for those hectic days when you just don’t have time to cook.

1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper. Let it sit 10 to 20 minutes to reach room temp. 2. Line the air fryer, add a pat of butter, then place the steak on top and add another butter pat over it. 3. Cook at 180°C for 10 minutes, flip it and cook another 10.

How to LOVE Working Out at the Gym 🖤
Take it from me, the first 22 years of my life… I hated the gym. I would randomly go because of spurts of motivation some days, but ultimately never stuck with it because I just didn’t like it. On top of that… I was really weak. So weak that I couldn’t even lift the bar by myself in a chest press.
