High Protein Meal Prep for Energy and Endurance

Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast, diced
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until fully cooked.
4. While the chicken is roasting, cook the quinoa according to package instructions.
5. In a large pot, steam the broccoli florets and diced red bell pepper until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Once everything is cooked, assemble your meal prep containers by dividing the quinoa, roasted chicken, black beans, steamed vegetables, and cherry tomatoes evenly.
7. Drizzle fresh lime juice over each container and top with chopped cilantro.
8. Serve with sliced avocado on the side or place it in the container if preparing to eat later.
