High Protein Meals

Share ONE High Protein Meal with the BFB group to receive a bonus 5 raffle tickets for this week's challenge!

But because I'm the trainer, I'll step it up and share a high protein breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options. For this week, our goal is to get 100g of protein per day.

Breakfast:

Overnight Oats

I will make 5 batches of these on Sunday so I can grab one each morning and eat whenever I like. Beware: DO NOT eat any overnight oat recipe that says it's cake. For example: if it says, carrot cake overnight oats or cookie dough overnight oats. These are wayyyyy too high in sugar.

Lunch:

Vietnamese Deconstructed Spring Roll Salad

I make my own dressing of rice wine vinegar, olive oil and salt

I will also make a giant batch of this, including boiling 2 pounds of shrimp so that I don't have to prep this each day.

Dinner:

Butternut Squach & Chickpea Curry

I follow this recipe to a T except that I roast my butternut squash, garlic and ginger in the oven at 450 for 20 min. Using this step, I find that squash takes sweeter and the whole pot has a more complex flavor profile. You do not need to do that though! Also, this recipe is great to double and freeze half for another day when you don't have time to cook dinner.

Snacks:

Snacks should have about 10-20g of protein!
