Turmeric Ginger Recovery Zoats
The superfood combination of turmeric and ginger in these oats work their superpowers on your body to help you recover from those tough workouts! The zucchini just adds some extra nutrients & a fluff factor & you really don't taste it so it's a great way to sneak in veggies (which ALSO help your body recover from workouts!) So try these turmeric ginger recovery zoats... it's easy to mix up a bunch of batches for #mealprep and eat them all week :)
Cashew Maca Cookie Clusters
Maca is a superfood that among many other important things, helps to balance our hormones! And hormones rule the body, so I'd say we want to keep those balanced. The taste of these little energy bites reminds me of snow ball cookies (if you have ever had those) because the cashews give them a creamy yet crunchy texture. These are also low carb and packed with protein and involve ZERO cooking, hooray! So keep those hormones in check and nosh on these.
Clean Lean Chocolate Pancakes
These pancakes just require one bowl to make, so they are easy enough for busy weekday mornings. However, they are decadent enough to feel like you are indulging in a scrumptious weekend brunch. They're clean and lean just like the name and full of magnesium from the cacao (so they help regulate metabolism, blood sugar and keep your bones strong!)
Bad-A$$ Protein Brownies
These "brownies" are BAD A$$ there is no way around it. You feel like you are eating a FLUFFY and FUDGY (AF) brownie but each serving has insane (bad-a$$) macros! If you cut it into 8ths each one only has 5 grams of sugar and 10 grams of protein (AND only about 150 calories) WOOOOOT WOOOOT! Make these and eat them for breakfast, snacks or dessert, they're healthy enough to eat ALL DAY LONG.
Lean Turkey Meatloaf Muffins
These are one of my favorite things to meal prep. They're flavorful, filling and full of lean, clean, nourishing ingredients. They're pre-portioned and portable too. Plus, added bonus, they're popular with people of all ages/sexes/taste preferences in my opinion. Prep a batch eat eat them all week on salads, with roasted vegetables, with pesto or marinara sauce on them or on zoodles or noodles!
Vegan Cashew Pesto
This pesto is dairy-free and delicious. So easy to whip up a batch and eat it in all different ways. I love to put it on "zoodles" but it is also great on any pasta (my favorite is chickpea), toast or even as a dip for raw vegetables!
"Cheesy" Baked Zucchini Coins (Money in your Mouth)
