Sharing 4 high protein meal prep recipes! Some new inspiration if you?re looking to amp up your protein intake.
Hi friends! How are ya" I hope you?re having a lovely morning. We?re coming out the other side from dance competition straight into dance picture night at the studio (WHEW) and I?m looking forward to getting some work and studying for IHP done today. I?d love to hear about what you have going on!
Today, let?s chat about protein!! I try to hit 4-5 palm-sized servings of protein per day (based on my personal goals, activity level, body composition, etc.) and protein can be hard to hit if I haven?t done some advance planning and prepping. I?ve learned the hard way that it makes a huge difference to have protein in the fridge, ready to go. Each week, I?ve been taking time to chop veggies and make some protein staples, and it?s been much easier to hit my daily goal.
For today?s post, I?m sharing some staple protein recipes if you?re looking for new inspiration! These are meat-based, but here are some ideas for my veggie and vegan friends: tempeh bacon, edamame, mung bean pasta, sprouted tofu scramble, and lentils in the instant pot.
(Had to use a stock photo because I have a hard time making meat look appetizing… and I think the asparagus is fake"" Taking votes)
