Your High-Protein Meal Preppin Plan Is Here! πͺ

|
|
Mika here, you certified nutrition coach! I'm back with another meal prepping plan to make hitting your protein goals so much easier β no powders or fancy supplements needed. This week, we're basing our meal plan on shopping at Trader Joe's, so you can prep your meals for just $60! Honestly, probably less because you already have many of the staples. |
|
|
π How to Use This Plan
- Download the meal plan + grocery list PDF above.
- Use the quick recipe overview on the PDF to make the recipes, or head to each recipe's full blog post using the links or QR codes in the PDF.
- Cross off any ingredients you already have.
- Grocery shop (the list is sorted by aisle for speed!).
- Meal prep when it works best for you β 1 hour on Sunday afternoon is our go-to.
- Store, reheat (or eat cold), and enjoy all week long!

π‘ Protein Prep Tips:
- βProtein Pancakes: You can reheat these from frozen or in the fridge in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, on a stovetop, in a toaster, or in a toaster oven until heated through.
- βStreet Corn Chicken Salad: I use a stand mixer to shred my chicken because it's super easy and gets it super shredded!
- βChocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie: Blending the cottage cheese ensures there are no curds. Cottage cheese can be hit or miss with some people, so be sure to blend it completely for the best taste and texture. This can take up to 2 minutes, depending on how powerful your blender is.
Just a reminder, on how this works - every other Thursday, weβll send you a high-protein meal plan designed to help you prep a little bit so you can head into the week with your meals ready to go.
That means: β
Easy-to-prep recipes for breakfast, lunch, and snack/dessert (no more than 1 hour of prep required) β
Great for reheating or grab-and-go β
Organized grocery list + clickable recipe links (all in printable PDF format)
Whether you're chasing fitness goals, feeding your family, or just trying to stay full through the day, this plan is built to fuel you right, with minimal effort during the busy workweek.
