Your Meal Plan

Today's Plan

This recipe creates an amazing smash burger stack with thinly sliced onions (inspired by NYC's Gotham Burger) and a thin slice of melted cheese in the middle. The special sauce is made with a yogurt-base to add extra protein. The burgers are served in a lettuce wrap rather than a bun for a healthier alternative that is still super satiating. You can round out your burger with a simple salad and a side of sweet potato fries (from frozen or scratch).

Breakfast: Peanut Butter and Banana Overnight Oats
Lunch: Tuna-Olive Salad Sandwich with Veggies
Dinner: Protein-Style Smash Burgers

How to take a mental health day to rest and recharge

According to a recent Gallup report, employee stress remains at a record-high level post-pandemic.

The newest generation to enter the workforce is looking for concrete ways to combat this stress. In fact, according to a survey, 82% of Gen Z employees want mental health days — and burnout and lack of work-life balance is a key reason why they would quit their job.

But wanting to take time off to focus on your mental health and actually doing it are two different things. If you feel like you're too busy to take time off or your PTO is limited, know that even a single day can feel like a break, and summer is an ideal time to get a day to yourself on the calendar.

It might be tempting to just keep the day wide open, but that's a mistake.

Here's how to spend a mental health day to maximize the benefits.
