The Protein Meal Prep Plan (Cassy Joy Garcia)

From the bestselling author behind Cook Once, Eat All Week, holistic nutritionist Cassy Joy Garcia delivers 30 weeks of protein-packed recipes in The Protein Meal Prep Plan—your go-to guide for powerhouse dinners that are big on comfort and flavor. Each recipe delivers a minimum of 35g of protein per serving as well as plenty of gut-friendly fiber to keep you feeling full and energized.

Every plan centers on three main ingredients: a protein (chicken, beef, or pork), a starch (such as potatoes, brown rice, chickpeas) and a vegetable to keep your weekly supermarket shop affordable and minimize end-of-week waste. Then those main ingredients are creatively configured into three meals. For example, a week including ground beef, bell peppers, and cannellini beans becomes: Honey-Harissa Meatballs with a Lemon-Dill Bean Salad (44.8g protein per serving), a Creamy Ground Beef Taco Soup (55.5g protein per serving), and Philly Cheesesteaks with a Champagne Vinegar Side Salad (55.4g protein per serving). 

In addition to a detailed grocery list, each plan includes an easy-to-follow prep-day guide, options for adjusting meals to suit dietary needs (gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, lower-carb, lower-fat, and vegetarian) as well as swaps, skips, and tips for fine tuning.

Protein and fiber charts, a comprehensive nutritional index, and key information about maximum assimilation, resistant carbohydrates, and plant-based protein sources gives you everything you need to plan, prep, and power through your week with confidence.
