Hey everybody, here’s some meal prep ideas for the week ahead! Sadly this is not my meal prep for this week since I’ll be on a work trip that is probably going to include lots of working lunches and dinners. I think this is from a few weeks ago but I just never posted it. Here’s what my meal plan looked like for that week:
- Monday:
- Lunch – Chicken, sweet potato, broccoli and balsamic reduction (not pictured, already ate it 🙂
- Dinner – Ground turkey, veggie noodles and homemade marinara sauce (ate this too, oops)
- Tuesday:
- Lunch – Spicy ground turkey (just add 1-2 tsp of Emeril’s Cajun seasoning to 1lb of lean ground turkey) and cowboy caviar
- Dinner – Chicken, broccoli and balsamic reduction (recipe here)
- Wednesday:
- Lunch – Spicy ground turkey and cowboy caviar
- Dinner – Chicken and mixed veggies
- Thursday:
- Lunch – Spicy Margarita Shrimp Salad
- Dinner – Ground turkey, veggie noodles and homemade marinara sauce
- Friday:
- Lunch – Spicy Margarita Shrimp Salad
- Dinner – Chicken and asparagus
- Saturday:
- Lunch – Chicken and mixed veggies
- Dinner – Out
- Sunday:
- Lunch – Spicy Margarita Shrimp Salad
- Dinner – Chicken and mixed veggies
I have tomatoes, avocados and lettuce here washed up and ready to go for my salad on Thursday. Plus blueberries and strawberries for my breakfasts and snacks.
Since meal prepping wasn’t an option for this trip, I have some healthy snacks ready to go like homemade trail mix, Quest protein bars and fruit. The snacks in the picture:
- 2 egg whites with black pepper for microwaving (only takes 1 minute to cook, then I top it off with some sriracha sauce)
- 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese with 1.5 tbsp sugar free strawberry jam
- 1/2 Quest bar
- 1 oz low sodium turkey jerky – I found Butterball brand does a good job at keeping the sodium low and still has lots of flavor. If you can find it, Perky Jerky has the lowest sodium but is kind of expensive.
