Meal Prep: Beef & Broccoli Bowl



image pinterest


Our last meal prep recipe of the month is a delicious blend of spice, beef and broccoli. It has all of the things we look for in a filling, lean, meal. Protein from the beef, fiber and nutrients from the broccoli, red pepper and rice and healthy fats from the oil.

If you have been reading our meal prep posts this month, you should have a few easy ideas to whip up for the week.  The Chicken and Veggie Bowl  and the Chicken Salad that uses Greek Yogurt instead of mayo are both delicious ways to plan ahead for diet success.

This week's recipe is super fast, it has minimal ingredients and it has a spicy kick that will definitely pick up your work day. It also packs a whopping 45 grams of protein, which makes it better and tastier than most protein shakes.  Switching up the meats, veggies and seasonings in your meal prep will keep you from getting bored, it will keep you excited about your diet and when you aren't bored... you're more likely not to splurge on foods that don't meet your needs.
