Weekly Meal Prep

Ginger chicken meatballs, edamame bean salad, fajitas, and almond chia puddings.

Lately, I’ve been trying to up my protein intake! I’ve realized I recover so much better from workouts and have wayyy more energy when I’m getting a ton of protein throughout the day. I feel like a lot of women are in the same boat of not getting enough. The ginger chicken meatballs were a personal highlight for me this week and I found myself snacking on them straight out of the fridge! I made the fajitas for my fiance to bring to work and he’s been snacking on them with some flour tortillas. He said they’re perfect!

What’s on the shopping list?

This week I got everything at Safeway. This sounds like an ad but I promise it’s not. If you download the app you can clip coupons and they offer you weekly deals based on what you purchase every week and you save so much money. I picked up ground chicken and sliced steak for less than $10/lb.
