I am a single mom of three boys and between running them from friends to practices to going to games not to mention working full time I feel I am always on the go. I don't always have time to make a good healthy dinner so I grab a sandwich or something quick. any other ideas on a healthy meal on the go?

I like my crockpot. Can bake potatoes and sweet potatoes in them, can make roasts and one pot dinners. I like the roasted whole breast of chicken.. can't do a whole chicken, but can cut it up. put veggies, onion in with the chicken and leave it awhile and when you come back, voila.

I also make things in batches , eat some the first night and freeze enough for a couple of meals later in the week, then just heat and eat.

I bought this lunch bag that is insulated so it keeps things cold. I eat a lot of pretzels and hummus, dry healthy cereal and walnuts. Lots of protein to keep you going. Oatmeal in the morning is quick also.

I carry a lunch box around with me... and i carry around raw veggies with dip, apples and on the go peanut butter, pretzels, .... stuff like that!

Great advice from worldofblah Protein is key . That's why I eat a lot of beans , mainly kidney beans . For desert I may have a handful of walnuts or almonds ,OR fruit : banana (potassium ) ,orange, blueberries topped with plain greek yogurt .
MMM! I'm making myself hungry I have to go and have some .

I like to snack on raw almonds and greek yogurt. The single serving cups of greek yogurt are actually about the same price per serving as if you bought the larger tub. Go figure!
