The Ultimate FIT Meal

Rachel Maser of Clean Food Crush is back at Total Gym Pulse with another clean eating recipe! Check out “Build-A-Bowl” The Ultimate Prep Ahead Meal!

The Perfectly balanced 400 calorie FIT meal:

This is great for when you don’t know what to make, or want to prep a few meals ahead of time.

Pick ONE option from each category:

Experiment with your own combos!

Step 1: Protein  – 120 calories chicken, turkey, fish, tempeh, tofu, edamame, or eggs made with 1 tsp HEALTHY oil.

(I used a chicken breast in the photo… Here are my quick tips: Use just 1 tsp oil *per serving (avocado, coconut, or olive oil) in a hot saute pan. I prefer cast iron for even cooking, and moist chicken. Season breasts with your all your faves; I used cumin, garlic, sea salt & fresh ground pepper. If the pan is properly preheated, then 3-4 minutes per side is all you’ll need. Immediately wrap breasts in foil, and let sit for 10 minutes. Perfectly moist breasts!)

Step 2: Grain  – 1/2c quinoa, brown rice or diced, cooked sweet potato.

Step 3: Greens –  1c kale, baby spinach, or other leafy greens (I used fresh chopped Red Leaf lettuce, here)

Step 4: Veggies – 1c roasted, steamed or raw veggies

Step 5: Beans – 2T-3T of your choice of beans(optional) If using canned, be sure to rinse!

Step 6: Fat –  50 calories avocado, feta cheese, hummus, guacamole, or homemade dressing (from CFC dressing guide).

Unlimited fresh lime, lemon juice, or vinegar may also be used as additional dressing.

Step 7: Seal, store (dressing/fats separate) in the refrigerator & eat within 3-4 days.
