Weight-loss meal prep in 1 hour – High protein meals + healthy snacks for the week (Pt. 3)
1 hour weight loss meal prep
In this video (below), I prepped all my meals and snacks for Monday to Friday in just over an hour (16 meals + snacks). Here’s all the recipes and ingredients!
You guys loved the meal prep series I’ve been doing, so this is part 3 – so you’ve got some more meal options. You can even mix and match between these meals and the ones in that video/post.
And what makes THIS meal prep kind of special is that it’s high protein, it’s ideal for losing or maintaining weight. I’ll show you how to do that at the end; you can customize it to get anywhere from 1200-1800 calories. AND I’ve simplified it A LOT so that it’s easier to get it done in an hour.
If you made all of these meals, you’d be getting almost 100g of protein per day (96+ grams). It’s all GF + DF, and I’ve got vegan options for you!
Hope you enjoy,
Liezl
