Welcome back to my healthy food prep series where every week I share a new menu of five recipes and grocery lists to go with it. If you want the recipes and the grocery list, comment recipes. Every prep starts with a healthy and nourishing high protein breakfast option. I like to make these on the go friendly as well for busy mornings. These feta and herb jumbo breakfast biscuits. Check all the boxes for a healthy breakfast. You can eat them on their own because they're so protein and fiber packed. You'll be full and satisfied. Pairing them with toast. Since I went with a savory breakfast, I had to put a banana bread on the menu for my sweet tooth this week. This is a chocolate chunk sticky date banana bread. If you're thinking, wow, that sounds insane, you'd be right. Those two recipes in the oven. We're finally able to get started on a big loaded bowl for the week. This is a lemon garlic and herb loaded rice salad. I use protein rice here to really up the protein. And throw in some chickpeas for some fiber. By making the herby the base of the bowl and then tossing the rice and chickpea mix in it, you avoid having to actually make a dressing and marinating it this way actually helps it with the meal prep process. It'll get better as it sits in the fridge over the course of the week. All of my menus include a healthy sweet treat to satisfy and honor our sweet tooth craving. This week I'm making vegan no-bake Twix cups. I love these because they're in the freezer. We'll set them in the freezer and then we got started on our next recipe, which is a Greek inspired spicy meatball. Quick close up of the breakfast biscuits before they got packaged up. I need you to understand that when I said jumbo, I was not kidding. The time the meatballs came out of the oven, my kitchen literally smelled like a restaurant. These are so flavorful and juicy. They'll be perfect pairing with the loaded rice salad, but honestly, I'll just snack on them on their own because they are that delicious. I want to show you a cross section of the Twix cups. I took one for the team. You're welcome. The best for last, obviously, is the sticky day chocolate chip banana bread. Look at this cross section. The chocolate with the dates, the perfect. So I'm obsessed. If you like this menu, I have nearly 50 more of my healthy meal prep series.
