It is Monday. So it is meal prep day. I have three really good recipes for you. Very decadent and we are focused on protein this week. Every single one of our recipes is packed with protein. So if you're excited, give this video a big thumbs up, make sure you're subscribed and your bell notification is turned on so you never miss a single meal prep or any other video. I do upload five days a week. Check out that description box down below for nutrition coaching. I do offer personalized to you macros and calories. Highly recommend. And if you want to chat with me directly, I have one on one coaching as well. Links discounts to my favorite things as well as my Facebook group. We'd love to have you over there as well are down in the description box. So let's jump into this protein packed meal prep. For breakfast this week, I am making Kodiak cake protein muffins. I am going to make two different kinds. I'll share with you a couple of tips on how to add even more protein to the Kodiak cake mix. So let me show you what's in our recipe for simple ingredients. You're going to need some Kodiak cake mix, whatever flavor you want. I'm just using buttermilk. I'm going to replace the water with milk specifically because it has so much more protein. So that's a great way to add extra protein to the muffins. You can also pop in an egg and that will also add some additional protein. I'm going to use the salted caramel lilies chocolate chips for half of my muffins and then some fresh raspberries for the other half of my muffins. I did go ahead and decide to add in the egg so I can add the extra protein. And then because these are muffins, I'm going to add in a couple of tablespoons of my Lakonto monk fruit sweetener. This is my favorite sweetener alternative. It does not add any points on the new WW plan. I will link Lakonto down below for you guys with 15% off. Monk fruit is my favorite sweetener alternative. So definitely take advantage of the discount. So for the muffins, everything's going to go into one bowl. So I have two cups of Kodiak cake mix. We'll do two tablespoons of Lakonto, one cup of Fairlife milk, and one egg. Stir that together but make sure not to over stir because then your muffins come out a little bit spongy. I'm going to spray my muffin pan really well with non-stick cooking spray. With my large scoop, this is off of Amazon. They have not had this little scoop pack in stock for quite a while though. If it is, I will make sure it's linked down below for you. But I'm going to scoop in 12 muffins. Now I want to do six and six. So six of my muffins with the salted caramel chips. Six with fresh raspberry. I'm going to put in 10 of the salted caramel chips per muffin and then I'm going to just press them in with my fingers so that they stay. And then in the other six, I'm just going to press in a couple of fresh raspberries. Our muffins are going into a 350 degree oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until they are cooked through. I have to say these look delicious. The muffins are out of the oven. These look so good. Look at the raspberry and the salted caramel. These smell incredible. It smells like a bakery in here. So we made 12 muffins. I will go ahead and put the points here on the screen for you. Don't forget when you click the link on my recipe website, it will automatically recalculate the points into your personal points. We did not use enough chips to add any additional points. So both the raspberry and the salted caramel muffins are the same. Wow. I can't wait to have this with some eggs and maybe some additional fruit for breakfast. For lunch this week, I am making buffalo chicken pasta and I couldn't be more excited to have this all week. So let me show you what is in our recipe. First, you're going to need some pasta. And if you follow my channel, you know that for the last few years, this is my go-to pasta. It's really the only one we use in our family because it is so good. The taste, the texture, everything about this pasta is better than traditional pasta. This is fiber gourmet. It comes in multiple shapes. We have linguine, rotini, elbows and penne. So today I'm using linguine, which is their spaghetti. But look at this. It's 100 calories per serving and three points versus 210 calories per serving and six points. So much lower in points, much lower in calories. It has 25 grams of fiber, which is your recommended intake daily as a woman in pasta, which is pretty incredible, versus two grams in regular pasta, 17 net carbs versus 41. And it contains seven grams of protein. This is really such a great option for pasta. You don't have to feel guilty eating pasta when it is packed with low calories, lots of fiber, lots of protein. I will link netrician down below. That's where I pick up fiber gourmet. They have the best prices, the biggest selection and it's always generally in stock. So I'll link it down below for you. If you haven't tried it, definitely pick it up. You're going to need some buffalo sauce, a can of diced tomatoes, light blue cheese dressing, minced garlic, light butter. The recipe calls for chicken broth. I'm going to go ahead and use a veggie broth because that is what I have on hand. You'll also need a stock of celery, chicken, eight ounces of one third less fat cream cheese and onion and some reduced fat strategies and low moisture part skim mozzarella into a large stock pot. Go ahead and add some water and then we are going to turn it on to high and add in our chicken. We want our chicken to boil just until it's cooked through. Otherwise it becomes a little bit tough. We want the chicken to maintain all of its moisture. Once your chicken is boiled and completely cooked through, go ahead and turn the heat off and remove the chicken into a bowl so that we can shred it up. In the same pan that we cooked the chicken in, we're going to add two tablespoons of light butter. We're going to allow it to melt completely before we add in the garlic, celery and onion. We're going to add in the onion and the celery and allow it to cook down for about five minutes before adding in the garlic. Once your onions and celery are softened, we're going to add in some minced garlic and allow it to cook for about another minute. Add in your can of diced tomatoes undrained and two cups of broth. Bring that to a boil. Once you've come to a boil, go ahead and add in your pasta and we are going to allow it to cook until it is al dente. Once your pasta is al dente, go ahead and turn it down to low. We're going to add in eight ounces of one third less fat cream cheese. I did go ahead and just dice it up into cubes to help it melt a little bit easier. We're also adding in one half of a cup of buffalo sauce and one cup of light shredded and one cup of mozzarella. And then we are going to stir this all together. We want that cream cheese to melt, the cheese to melt. It looks and smells really good. This looks so creamy and decadent. Now we're going to add in the shredded chicken. Give that another stir so that chicken gets nice and coated in the mixture. Go ahead and remove the pasta from the heat. The very last step is we're adding half of a cup of light blue cheese and then giving it one last stir. Look at how amazing this looks. It is so creamy and cheesy. Tomatoes really add a nice color and a little bit of texture along with the onion and the celery. I will go ahead and put the points here on the screen for you as well as the serving size. But wow, this looks like one of the most decadent meals that I've made. For dessert this week, I'm making a berry crumble, but we're making it protein style. It's always good to get protein in with every meal. And this is a great way to do it even in dessert. So let me show you what's in our recipe. I am using my Lakonto monk fruit sweetener. Don't forget Lakonto is in the description box with 15% off. I'm also going to be using my favorite protein powder for any type of baking and that is the Devotion Nutrition. This is the Angel Food Cake Protein Powder. It's a great substitution for vanilla in any recipe. And I also love to make protein shakes out of this as well. There is 20 grams of protein, no added sugar, gluten free and it also contains a six enzyme formula, which is a nice touch to the protein powder. I do have a discount for Devotion. I'll link that down below for you as well. You're going to need some rolled oats, nuts of your choice. I'm doing walnuts. This is a little something different. The recipe calls for almonds, but I'm opting for walnuts. And then you need one cup of frozen or fresh fruit. I have some leftover blueberries and berry blend in my fridge. So I'm going to combine that together for one cup and then some lemon juice. The first thing we're going to do is put our one cup of berries. And by the way, those two bags was exactly one cup. It couldn't get any better than that. Kind of spread that out a little bit. And then we're going to put just a little bit of our La Conte on top to sweeten the berries into a small bowl. Go ahead and add one quarter cup of rolled oats, one tablespoon of whatever nuts you're using, two tablespoons of lemon juice and one scoop of your Devotion Protein Powder. Go ahead and mix that up. It is going to be a fairly dry mixture. Then I'm going to take the mixture and kind of crumble it right on top of the berries. Now this says that this is one serving, but I'm going to make this into two servings. I will give you the points of course for one serving and for two servings on my website. But I think that this would be the perfect little dessert for both of us. You can also prepare this in a little ramekin if you do want to make it one serving or a couple of ramekins. You could also double or triple or quadruple the recipe if you want to serve more people. But this actually looks really good. It's going into a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. And then you can go ahead and set it to broil if you want to really brown and crisp up the top. I just pulled our protein berry crisp out of the oven. I did pop it on to broil for just a couple of minutes. We got that nice crispy brown on top of the clusters. This looks really good. Like I said, this recipe technically makes one serving. I will put the points here on the screen for one serving or two servings. So depending on if you want to enjoy the whole thing yourself or share it with someone else. But this is going to be the perfect dessert for tonight. Thank you for joining me on another weekly W-W meal prep. I hope you are as excited as I am about these three protein packed recipes.
