Meal Prep Plan Week 3

I’m so excited to share a new meal prepping plan for those of you interested in meal prepping and wanting some more variety! I seriously love all of the meals on this meal plan! I think my favorites are the spicy cilantro chicken and the spicy fish taco bowl. I found these two healthy recipes on Pinterest and now I’m obsessed! You can find the recipes with my own cooking directions to these two meals here.

I highly encourage anyone trying to eat healthier and/or wanting to try out meal prepping to check out these meal plans! There are three different plans so far! You can follow each of them each week exactly as they are or you you can definitely pick and choose what meals and snacks you personally like and put your own meals together.

Feel free to comment on your thoughts, experiences, suggestions, etc! Also, don’t forget to post your meal prep photos on Twitter and Instagram as well as sharing this blog post on Facebook! Make sure to tag me on Twitter: @jacklyn_barrera & Instagram: @jacklyn_christine . I’ll be sure to post your meal prep photos on my Inspired Meal Preppers page!

You can find all three meal plans here!

Happy Prepping!!!

Cooking Tips

Typically for the week I cook the following:

• 2 tilapia filets
• 2 cups brown rice
• ½ lb whole wheat spaghetti
• ½ turkey sausage link
• 1 cup green beans
• 2 cans of black beans
• 1 can of corn
• 4 chicken breasts or 1.5 lbs of chicken

*I would prepare all of this food and portion it all out into your containers first before preparing the other meals because you may have enough food for more than the days I have listed on the meal plan.

• I prepare my breakfast each morning.
• I season the chicken and tilapia with a mixture of 3 spices to add some kick to it: cayenne pepper, ground cumin powder, and chili powder.
