In today’s post, I’m sharing 5 meal ideas that use 5 totally different flavors to create 5 easy, high-protein meals for your lunch or dinner meals this week. The idea here is that you’ll prepare your proteins at the start of the week and take just 30 minutes to make your meal each night. Whether you’re cooking just for yourself or your whole family, these simple, high-protein 30-minute meal ideas can easily be scaled for multiple servings, and most use easy freezer and/or pantry ingredients that you may already have on hand!

Meal prep is one of those things that we know can benefit us by cutting down on time in the kitchen and brainpower trying to constantly decide what to eat, but is also exhausting and often ends with tons of uneaten meals. This is where batch prep comes to the rescue, especially when planning meals for your whole family.

We often think of “meal prep” as a meticulous and time consuming routine that ends in perfectly portioned tupperwares full of your meals for the week. The beauty of a flexible approach to our nutrition is that we have the ability to shape “meal prep” into whatever fits our needs and our lifestyles best. We wanted to show the large range of what meal prep can look like for different individuals and their different circumstances, so this week we are sharing our best meal prep tips as nutrition coaches who have our own specific nutrition needs, as well as supporting our clients and their needs.
