Meal prep for the entire week with these healthy Mexican bowls. This saves you money, time, calories – you honestly can’t beat that!
Meal prep really has been making a huge difference to mine and my clients weekly routine.
It saves time and cuts out those cravings which leads to a leaner and happier you.
Now I have created some alternatives to the traditional weekly meal prep.
The first one I want to share is the taco bowl. Because who doesn’t love Mexican food, right?
Except this healthy take on Mexican food combines all the best ingredients and makes a delicious meal prep bowl.
- Firstly, your main protein can be ground beef or ground turkey. If you want to keep it super lean, then use turkey meat.
- Black beans add another layer of protein and are high in dietary fiber.
- The brown rice gives you your good carbs and extra dietary fiber. This will give you sustained energy for the days tasks ahead.
- Tomatoes are an amazing source of vitamin C and potassium.
- And the avocado, an optional ingredient, is full of all the good fats you need in your diet for great skin, hair and lowering your cholesterol levels. (But I would recommend adding the avocado on the day of serving to prevent any browning).
Hope you guys enjoy! More meal preps ideas to come! Maybe a thanksgiving bowl?!
