Happy Friday! I just finished my lunch today and it reminded me that I had yet to share this week’s meal prep with you! Meal prep has been saving my life you guys! Knowing that I have a healthy meal waiting for me in the fridge that takes just a few minutes to heat up makes my life a lot easier.
Here’s what I made this week. The quinoa was a little more labor intensive but I made up for it with a simple protein and simple veggie.
Easy Meal Prep: Thai Cashew Quinoa, Chicken and Broccoli Bowls
1. Famous Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad
I got this recipe from Ambitious Kitchen and it’s SO good. The ingredient list is pretty long but I already had most of it on hand so it wasn’t too overwhelming. And it didn’t take long to prepare at all (I bought the cabbage and carrots pre-shredded). This would also be a great healthy side dish to bring to a party or BBQ this summer.
2. Rotisserie Chicken
I’d prefer organic but we got ours at Costco. I simply shredded it and used some of it for a salad and the rest for these bowls.
3. Steamed Broccoli
Pretty much nothing easier than this!
Combine all three and save for later! For a vegetarian version you could easily just leave the chicken out or add tempeh or tofu. We actually ate one serving for dinner and I stored the other two servings. I gave Mike twice as much of the thai quinoa salad and extra chicken to make his more filling.
If you love this recipe or want to make it later, please pin it on Pinterest!
