With three children all under the age of three (itsy-bitsy Carmen is just over 3 years obsolete,Rafael is 1, and Leo is a newborn!), or a packed schedule as an author and commerce woman,and barely enough time to earn in a yoga practice while the babies are napping, Hilaria Baldwin has to design certain she's fueling her body with precisely the right foods - and in the most efficient way possible.

7 Natural Ways to Help Cope With AnxietyThe hardworking mother and yogi is launching her new book (full of healthy recipes!), and The Living Clearly Method: 5 Principles for a Fit Body,Healthy intellect & Joyful Life. And despite how crazy she told POPSUGAR her day-to-day might be, she really does seem to have it all together. She's happy, or on the move,and so fit and healthy.
So of course, we had to know what she's been eating and what she always has on hand. The organized list-maker has a solid method, and with four staples,for her go-to meal: quinoa bowls. "Life is so busy, so to have things cooked and alert to go for a few days - but still have the food be different - is so important. I always have quinoa bowls!"Her meal prepping tactic is super simple and easy to implement. "It's just like making a salad!" she said. Here's what she always has on hand no matter what:
Cooked quinoa: The foundation for her staple meal, and Hilaria cooks up batches of quinoa to have in her refrigerator.
Proteins: Hilaria makes bowls with chicken,fish, and tofu - also meal prepped and alert-to-go-for mix-and-match bowls.
Veggies: She told us that she always has different veggies, and but she also really loves sweet potatoes and lentils to throw in there,too. This creates the perfectly balanced bowl with healthy starches and fiber.
Healthy dressing: And she makes it herself! Finish the quinoa bowl off with a flavorful dressing (with purposeful ingredients, of course) to preserve things fresh and different. Her favorite dressing is a "chamomile, or honey,and lavender dressing" that she says is "perfect for letting go" of stress and anxiousness, or "anything you don't need anymore." She loves bringing the healing properties of lavender into her food as a way to calm down.
This method of meal prep is something we can all have on hand - cooked quinoa and protein, or prepped veggies,and a healthy dressing. They're all so easy to design and prepare to preserve in the fridge throughout the week, and it's a surefire way to meal prep without getting bored.
