I tried the viral “lego” meal prep but with one big change

Описание: I decided to try the viral “lego" freezer meal prep, but I wanted to do it my own way. With this type of prep you freeze your meal prep items in individual portions and if you make enough items, you’re able to mix and match to make different meal combinations. But what I’ve noticed is a lot of people are prepping really big serving sizes with this type of prep (I think the portions seem less when they’re in frozen cubes), and that could be counterproductive for some women who might be prepping specifically to get healthy or to lose weight. I decided to try figure out how I could make 400 calorie meals (like I usually do on my channel) with any combination of protein, starches and vegetables. I’ll share how I did this with all the recipes, plus all the meal combinations I make with my items for over a week.. and also my thoughts on how this type of prep compares to the meal prep I usually do, and if I think it’s worth it.

Ps. All recipes are gluten free and dairy free, and you can easily make them vegan if you want.

Hope you enjoy!
