Welcome to Protein Meal Prep: Episode 6!

(If you missed last week’s edition, catch up here…)

This week’s protein meal prep lineup is simple, satisfying, and packed with protein – perfect for busy schedules and zero-effort meals during the week!

For breakfast, I put together some easy protein egg bowls that are super customizable and reheat like a dream. I also made a batch of protein chia pudding, which has been my go-to for something a little sweet but still filling (and loaded with fiber and protein!). For lunches or dinners, I kept it classic with bone broth rice and chicken – nourishing, easy and seriously underrated.

Whether you’re sticking to a routine or just need a few easy wins in the kitchen, these recipes are all about convenience without skimping on nutrition.

Let’s get into the recipes…
