"If you made a New Year’s resolution to eat more mindfully, at this point, you’re in one of two places: You’ve either been killing the meal prep game and fueling your body with nutrient-dense foods or you’re like me and have fallen victim to the convenience of eating out and choosing a slice of Portillo’s chocolate cake for dinner.
