Taco Meal Prep Bowls

Meal prep for the entire week with these healthy Mexican bowls. This saves you money, time, calories – you honestly can’t beat that!

Meal prep really has been making a huge difference to mine and my clients weekly routine.

It saves time and cuts out those cravings which leads to a leaner and happier you.

Now I have created some alternatives to the traditional weekly meal prep.

The first one I want to share is the taco bowl. Because who doesn’t love Mexican food, right?

Except this healthy take on Mexican food combines all the best ingredients and makes a delicious meal prep bowl.

• Firstly, your main protein can be ground beef or ground turkey. If you want to keep it super lean, then use turkey meat.
• Black beans add another layer of protein and are high in dietary fiber.
• The brown rice gives you your good carbs and extra dietary fiber. This will give you sustained energy for the days tasks ahead.
• Tomatoes are an amazing source of vitamin C and potassium.
• And the avocado, an optional ingredient, is full of all the good fats you need in your diet for great skin, hair and lowering your cholesterol levels. (But I would recommend adding the avocado on the day of serving to prevent any browning).

Hope you guys enjoy! More meal preps ideas to come! Maybe a thanksgiving bowl?!
