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!

This week’s lineup is all about easy, protein- and fiber-packed meals you can prep ahead! The Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes are baked on a sheet pan for simple batch cooking—and they’re loaded with fiber to start your day right. Beef & Bean Bowls are portioned into four containers, ready for quick grab-and-go lunches. The Soy-Ginger Pork Patties make a big batch of flavorful protein and pair perfectly with the refreshing Peanut Rice Noodle Salad. And we’ve prepped a big batch of Sautéed Mushrooms & Zucchini, so you always have some nutrient-rich veggies on hand to round out any plate.

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

• Protein & Fiber-Rich Sweet Potato Sheet Pan Pancakes

Ever made a whole sheet pan of pancakes? You need to try it—no flipping, no babysitting the stove, and no re-buttering the pan every few minutes. These are fluffy, delicious, and loaded with fiber from sweet potato, oats, chia seeds, and berries. Plus, they’ve got a solid protein boost from eggs, yogurt, and beef protein powder, making them a much more balanced option than your average pancake stack. Each serving packs 6g of fiber and 20g of protein—perfect for a gut- and hormone-friendly breakfast or snack that actually keeps you full.

• Beef & Bean Bowls

I love a good ground beef bowl, especially when it's packed with fiber from creamy beans and avocado mash. The best part? You can meal prep these into 4 individual containers with the base layers of beans, beef, and cheese. Then just customize with your favorite toppings: shredded cabbage, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, avocado, fresh herbs! They’re perfect for a quick dinner or an easy grab-and-go lunch. I love scooping it up with tortilla chips or wrapping it all in a warm tortilla.

• Soy-Ginger Pork Patties

Whip up a big batch of these Soy-Ginger Pork Patties so you’re never scrambling for protein during the week. They come together in one bowl, take just 10 minutes to prep, and leave you with a stash of salty, savory patties you can reheat and serve with rice, veggies, or even tossed into soup. I especially love them on top of the Peanut Rice Noodle Salad for a full, balanced meal. Pork is naturally rich in high-quality protein, B vitamins (especially B12 and thiamine), zinc, and selenium—key nutrients that support hormone health, energy production, and immune function.

• Peanut Rice Noodle Salad

There’s nothing better than creamy, salty peanut sauce poured over chewy noodles and a mountain of fresh veggies and herbs. I can eat a giant bowl of veggies, as long as the sauce is right. This dish is kind of like a deconstructed rice paper roll, but way easier to prep. It stores beautifully in the fridge and makes an easy base for a balanced meal: you've got your carbs, fiber-rich veggies, and tons of fresh herbs. I love it with the Soy-Ginger Pork Patties for a quick, protein-packed lunch or dinner. You could also top it with shredded chicken or tofu to make it a full meal!

• Sauteed Mushrooms and Zucchini

Mushrooms have some REALLY cool benefits when it comes to their fiber content, so I have been trying to incorporate them into my daily meals! Mushrooms are rich in β-glucans, a type of soluble fiber that may support the body's natural detoxification processes, including helping bind and eliminate PFAS (forever chemicals). They also provide antioxidants, immune-supportive compounds, and B vitamins. Zucchini adds gut-friendly fiber, hydration, and vitamin C, making this combo a low-effort way to boost nutrients and volume in any meal. Meal prep these so that you always have a gut and hormone healthy fiber to add to your dishes!
