Meal Prep with Me

High Protein Breakfast Biscuits, Lemon Lentil Soup, High Protein Stuffed Manicotti

Meal prep is one of the ways I bring my philosophy to life. I believe food should feel supportive, not stressful, and that systems only work if they fit into real life. That means meals that are simple, nourishing, and flexible. I don’t believe in rules or perfection. I believe in creating structure that makes space for freedom.

This week, I prepped a few meals that feel balanced and doable, all with plenty of flavor. They are not about tracking or restriction. They are about having food on hand that supports health, saves time, and reduces the mental load of what to eat every day.

Here’s what I made this week:


🍳Breakfast: High Protein Breakfast Biscuits

I love starting the day…

… with a meal that feels substantial without being complicated. These biscuits are made with flour, eggs, cottage cheese, shredded brussels sprouts, and a bit of cheese. They are hearty, protein rich, and easy to grab on busy mornings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 10 eggs

  • ½ cup of cottage cheese

  • shredded brussels sprouts

  • shredded cheese

  • olive oil


🥗Lunch: Lemon Lentil Soup

Light, warm and nutrient dense

This lentil soup combines mirepoix, green lentils, bone broth, and plenty of cumin. The lemon zest and juice brighten the flavors and make this meal feel fresh and energizing. It is one of those meals that reminds me how simple ingredients can come together into something deeply supportive.

Ingredients

  • mirepoix (onion, carrot, celery)

  • green lentils, rinsed

  • cumin (lots of cumin ☺️)

  • bone broth

  • lemon zest & juice

My Final Thoughts
