Low-Calorie Meal Preps

I have not been consistent with my meal preps so I decided to get back to it. I decided to make my lunch for the next few days because I have a busy schedule. What I have in the photos is my shrimp pasta salad if you do not like seafood you can sub the shrimp for deli turkey meat. The ingredients are spaghetti noodles, cucumbers, fat-free sharp cheddar cheese, tomatoes, shrimp, Olive Garden Light Italian Dressing, Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning, crushed pepper, fresh parsley, Skinny Girl Chipotle Ranch and Old Bay seasoning. Trust me you will love it and I make this one at least twice a month.
