Meal Prep: Summer Shredding Begins!

Good Morning my Sweet, Friends! Happy Sunday!

Excitingly enough, I will be going to Destin, Florida, at the end of July and I am SO excited. I have never been to any beach on the East Coast and I can't wait to see what it is like!

However, we have been bulking the past 4 months... and with bulking we all tend to put on some fat. Which I am totally ok with. Got to make those gains! But.. its time to say goodbye to bulking season and hello to summer shredding! Which means... carb cycling, or low-carb and high-carb days.

Here is what I picked up at the grocery store this week:

• Water

• Creamer

• Trail mix

• Rice Cakes

• Baggies

• Greek Yogurt

• Eggs

• Watermelon

• Green beans

• Asparagus

• Bananas

• Potatoes

• Apple-wood Chicken Sausage

• Chicken Breast Tenders

• Power Crunch Bars

• Ranch Seasoning

So, how do we turn that, into this?

Well, its probably one of the easiest meal preps ever with less carbs! My meals will be:

Breakfast: Egg whites and sausage

Snack: Fruit and protein bar or trail mix

Lunch: Ranch-chicken and asparagus

Dinner: Ground turkey, green beans, and a little bit of potatoes

How You Do It:

1. Cook the turkey to your preference. I seasoned it with olive oil, garlic, and various garlic seasonings.

2. Season your chicken. In a bowl, I placed one pound at a time of chicken and two spoonfuls of ranch seasoning and tossed them gently. I put my pan on high heat with some olive oil and placed the chicken in the oil. I seared the chicken on both sides to be golden brown. Then reduced the heat and covered it with a lid.

3. I placed my asparagus in the microwave, according to the directions, and while that was cooking I cut up my watermelon and potatoes.

4. Then I boiled my potatoes for 20 minutes and drained the water once the were done.

5. Finally, I weighed and portioned everything out. Done! So, so easy! And little clean up.

That's all folks! I hope you have a blessed week!
