If you've been here for a while or you follow me on Instagram and YouTube, you know that I'm a big fan of ingredient prep, which is a type of meal prep. Instead of creating the same individual meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ingredient prep is more about prepping the components of a meal — protein, carbs, veggies — that can either be pieced together or paired with something else to make a complete meal. As someone who likes to switch things up during the week, having components of a meal versus the same meal every day is my jam.
Ingredient prepping has also given me the space to be more creative with the seasonal ingredients I buy on a weekly basis. With this method, I always have healthy foods prepped in the fridge or freezer to enjoy, which has made my life so much easier.
Strawberry basil chia pudding — If strawberry basil ice cream exists, so can a chia pudding version of it! This is dessert but healthier 😋
Three green pesto pasta — Can be enjoyed as is or with additional protein
Sardine mediterranean salad — So delicious as a lunch wrap and with crackers as a snack
Nettle rose tea — I used it for an Arnold Palmer (half tea, half lemonade) and omg so refreshing!
Harissa butterbean stew — I had leftover stew from last week and froze some servings to enjoy this week. I had it for breakfast and lunch!
I’ve been lovingggg these recipes and I hope you do too!
Strawberry Basil Chia Pudding

If you know me, you know that I love getting creative with my chia seed pudding flavors! I’ve made so many different versions — from key lime pie to sweet potato pie to creamsicle and more — so me getting creative and making a strawberry basil flavored chia pudding shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Triple Green Pesto Pasta

Sometime last year, I learned that pesto isn’t always made up of basil. Traditionally, yes, but it doesn’t HAVE to be. It can be made from almost any leafy green - arugula, kale, spinach, cilantro, etc (but don’t try romaine; that doesn’t sound like it would be good at all lol). And since learning that, I’ve been hooked on making arugula pesto and a kale cashew pesto (inspired by the kale pesto from Trader Joe’s); however, as part of my ingredient prep for the week, I wanted to switch things up a bit and make this Triple Green Pesto Pasta.
Sardine Mediterranean Wrap

One thing about me, you will always be able to find 2-3 tins of sardines in my pantry at all times! I typically enjoy them for breakfast — either as part of a breakfast plate, in this shakshuka-inspired dish, or when I’m craving something a little more cozy, I’ll make this

As you know, I’m currently doing a Summer Drink Series (hopefully you know lol but if not, you can check out the latest episodes here), and while this drink isn’t officially part of the series, it’s just as refreshing, functional, and delicious as the other drinks I’ve been sharing.
