Meal prepping is a great tool to help you save money, save


time during busy weeknights and ensure you are creating
balanced meals that fit your macros.

You will see notes about what to add to certain recipes


depending on your goals/preferences to ensure you are finding
the balance that is right for you!

Since we are highlighting certain foods, you can use these


recipes in a variety of ways and even combine recipes to make
a whole complete meal. For example, pair a rice recipe with a
ground beef recipe.

Everyone has different calorie needs, so you may add or omit


ingredients (such as extra oils, milk, cheese, avocado etc.)
depending on your goals.

If you're inexperienced in the kitchen, no worries! The meals


we chose below are great for entry level cooks.

Ready to increase the flavor and fun in your meals?! It’s time
to get cooking, Queens!
