Meal Prep with Matt

We can't go too long meal prepping before we run into chicken, can we? Chicken is a staple of meal preppers around the world due to its low cost and amazing macros. Trying to spice it up and vary your chicken intake can be a struggle sometime, but smoked paprika adds a flavor that sets this recipe apart from any other plain grilled chicken out there. This week's recipe is adapted from this skillet chicken recipe and this roasted broccoli recipe . The secret to this mediterranean-style meal is the smoked paprika and the lemon juice on the broccoli--adds a bit of pep to an otherwise straight-forward meal. I typically will add hummus to dip the chicken in to add some variety. Blueberries help round out this meal with a bit of sweet fruit.

This week’s meal prep is a simple meal, but a rather long prep time. The main foods are grilled tri-tip and roasted brussels sprouts, with a side of mixed nuts and strawberries. I don’t mind eating this food plain, and the meat is good reheated or just cold. You’ll probably want to reheat the brussels sprouts though. Feel free to not use as much meat or add rice or quinoa if you need more carbs--I’ll talk about why I don’t do so many carbs in a later blog post or another page. This meal is likely going to be one of the more expensive ones, since tri-tip is typically is not a cheap meat, but it's definitely more cost-effective than ribeye. I prep for 6 meals, typically on a Sunday, which gets me lunches for Monday-Saturday of the next week. Sunday is a free-for-all :) Macros Calories: 729 Protein: 55g Carbs: 23.5g Fat: 48g Sugar: 8.5g Shopping List 4.25 lbs of tri-tip (estimating this, we grilled more to have as dinner later in the week) 3x 10oz bags of brussels spro...
