My Weekly Meal Prep Process

Written By Lisa Daronatsy Kiyindou

This week’s menu:

🌯Black Bean Breakfast Scramble, 🥙 Za’atar Chicken Salad and 🍲Beef Bulgogi with Cauliflower Rice

For me, meal prep is not about restriction. It is a tool that helps me feel prepared, nourished, and free from the constant question of “what’s for dinner.” It is a system that creates space in my week and supports my health in a way that works long term. See what I made this week. ⬇️

🍳Breakfast

Black Bean Breakfast Scramble

Add some fiber to your breakfast by adding black beans into scrambled eggs. This would be great in a tortilla to add some additional carbohydrates.

🥗Lunch

Za’atar Chicken Salad

I love a quick chicken salad. This one had great flavor and came together quickly. The next time I make this I’ll try grilling my chicken.

🥘Dinner

Beef Bulgogi with Cauliflower Rice

Trying to make something you’ve never made can be intimidating! That’s how I felt starting this week’s dinner item. I had fun learning more about how to bring this one to life!
