Meal Prep: Asian Inspired Shrimp!

Hello Beautiful People,

I’m so excited to share this meal prep day with you. I’m a seafood girl so today’s recipe is an Asian Inspired Shrimp with Green Beans and Jasmine Rice, but for all my chicken lovers, guess what I did chicken too! Yes you get two meals using the same ingredients. Because I love you guys and needed to give you a little something more because you waited on me for so long to get some of my favorite meals to you, I added a bonus meal!!! Yes, Seasoned Baked Chicken Breast with Roasted Broccoli and Zucchini.

Meal Prepping for me has become one of the days I look forward to every week because it sets me up for success. When I meal prep, I’m able to stay focused on my health goals because I always know that I have healthy food options available and ready to go. Meal prepping doesn’t have to be a long drawn out day of cooking. I like to get multiple meals done at once, using different or the same flavor profiles and also doing something easy, like rice in the rice cooker or roasted veggies.

Check out the video to see multiple meal prep options that are easy, healthy and cost low cost. You’ll love them!!!
