MEAL PREP GUIDE - March 28, 2025

Miso Ginger Shredded Beef, Pork & Shrimp Cabbage Rolls, Hormone Healthy Raw Carrot Salad, Kale & Carrot Top Pesto, and Potato Chicken Breakfast Bake!

Here’s your meal prep guide for the week!

Each week, I share a meal prep guide with my paid community members to help you cook seasonal, nutrient-dense recipes efficiently, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet.

I post these guides before the weekend so you have time to review the recipes and shopping list, gather your ingredients, and set aside time for meal prep in the coming days. Be sure to check out the editable grocery list, where you can mark off ingredients as you shop!

If you’re only going to prep one thing this week, make the MISO GINGER SHREDDED BEEF—IT IS SO GOOD. We’re stocking our fridge with tons of high-quality protein dishes, like the Pork and Shrimp Cabbage Rolls, which are nutrient-packed and easy to reheat. Breakfast this week comes together in just 5 minutes and is a great, blood-sugar-friendly savory option. The Raw Carrot Salad and Kale & Carrot Top Pesto ensure we're getting our veggies, and trust me, they’re so delicious you’ll be looking forward to them all day.

Ready to cook up some delicious food? Here is this week’s menu:

• Potato, Chicken, and Veggie Breakfast Bake

I wanted something super easy yet nourishing and savory for breakfast this week, so I decided on a quick dump-and-bake situation that took literally 5 minutes to put together. Potatoes provide the healthy carbs, veggies add fiber, and ground chicken delivers the protein. Embracing my lazy side, I simply mixed everything right in the baking dish, flattened it down, and voilà—5 servings of a balanced, wholesome breakfast!

• Pork & Shrimp Cabbage Rolls

I absolutely LOVE a pork and shrimp dumpling at Dim Sum. So, I thought, why not bring those flavors into a cabbage roll? These rolls are packed with protein, lower in carbs, and super easy to make in a big batch. We reheated them for dinner multiple times throughout the week because they made a ton! I served them with a tamari, rice vinegar, and green onion dipping sauce that I highly recommend. If rolling the filling into cabbage leaves feels like too much work, just form the mixture into meatballs and poach them in bone broth for a nourishing, quick meal.

• Miso Ginger Shredded Beef

A giant batch of tender, flavor-packed, nutrient-rich protein—now that's music to my meal prepping ears! This is honestly one of the most delectable things I’ve had in a long time. I love slow cooking chuck roast because it's an affordable cut with more connective tissue (hello collagen for skin and gut health!!). The low-and-slow method turns this tough cut into melt-in-your-mouth beef. The miso and ginger flavors create an umami-lover’s dream, and it pairs perfectly with white rice and a fresh raw carrot salad. Trust me, run, don’t walk, and make this ASAP!

• Hormone Healthy Raw Carrot Salad

Raw carrot salad is the perfect meal prep veggie because it only gets better as it sits in the fridge. This is a simple, minimal-ingredient recipe that comes together in just one dish with 5 minutes of effort, and it’s packed with flavor and health benefits. Carrots are known to help detox excess estrogen and support gut health. Plus, it pairs perfectly with your proteins of the week! Grab a bunch with the green tops attached and don’t throw them away—they’re great for adding flavor or making a homemade pesto!

• Kale and Carrot Top Pesto

It’s probably pretty clear by now that I’m obsessed with leafy green pesto. While basil pesto is, of course, delicious, using kale and carrot tops that would otherwise end up in the compost makes me feel like the coolest, zero-waste, nutrient-packed home cook ever. Try it out and let me know if you feel the same! Turning kale and carrot tops into an addictive sauce feels like a cheat code for life, and when you serve pesto pasta packed with leafy greens, your whole family will be impressed. Toss it with a quick protein and some pasta for a satisfying weeknight dinner, or just dip some veggies for a healthy snack!
