A Peek On My Plate! (August)
If you've been following along on Instagram lately, you've probably spotted a few of these meals already! These are the breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and little favorites that have been on repeat in my house lately. As always, everything is macro-friendly, realistic for busy weeks, and full of foods I genuinely look forward to eating.
Whether you're looking for meal prep inspiration, easy snack ideas, or a new recipe to try this week, I hope you find something to add to your rotation!
🍳 Breakfasts
Strawberry Waffle with Peanut Butter & Jam
I've been keeping preworkout simple lately, and this combo has been on repeat. Toast a waffle, spread on my favorite peanut butter, add a layer of jam, and you've got the perfect sweet-and-salty breakfast that takes just a few minutes.

Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches
These freezer-friendly breakfast sandwiches are one of my favorite ways to make busy mornings easier. I prep a batch ahead of time so I can just heat one up before heading out the door.
🥗 Lunches & Dinners
Glazed Sheet Pan Salmon
This has quickly become one of my favorite weeknight dinners!! Everything cooks together on one pan, so cleanup is minimal.
Cottage Cheese and Beef Sweet Potatoes
One of my go-to high-protein lunches! The combination of seasoned beef, roasted sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, and toppings is so filling and packed with flavor.
Barbecue Chicken Salad
This has been one of my favorite meal prep lunches lately. It's packed with protein, loaded with crunchy veggies, and the BBQ flavor makes it anything but boring.
Italian Stuffed Zucchini Boats
An easy way to sneak in extra veggies while still feeling like you're eating comfort food. These are cheesy, hearty, and surprisingly filling.
Tomato Basil Protein Pasta
Fresh tomatoes, basil, parmesan, and grilled chicken make this one of my favorite summer dinners. It's light, fresh, and comes together quickly.
Mediterranean Meatball Bowls
These bowls have been such an easy meal prep option. Juicy turkey meatballs paired with rice, fresh veggies, and a simple homemade sauce make lunch something I actually look forward to.
🥨 Snacks
Wild Protein Crackers
These have become my favorite grab-and-go savory snack. They're packed with protein and perfect for throwing in my bag when I'm running between errands.
Chicken Chomps + Kraft Cheese Stick
My current favorite high-protein snack combo. Simple, filling, and easy to keep on hand for busy afternoons.
PopCorners Protein Chips with Good Culture Cottage Cheese
I've been obsessed with using cottage cheese as a dip for years, and these protein crisps are perfect for scooping. Such an easy way to get extra protein in throughout the day.
Built Cookie Dough Chunk Puff
If you need a sweet protein snack, these are still one of my favorites. The Cookie Dough Chunk Puff tastes like dessert while helping me hit my protein goals.
