Revolutionise Your Meal Prep with 60g Plant-Based Protein Per Meal! Easy Meal Prep For Working Out 💪

This is my protein packed meal prep that's easy to make, absolutely delicious, completely plant-based and each meal contains over 60 grams of protein. This is perfect if you go to the gym and weight train. We're going to be making a rich and luxurious black bean stew with all the Mexican flavours and to accompany it, I'm going to make a dip that I tasted in Mexico. An ancient Mayan pumpkin seed dip called sickle pack. It is so tasty but also packed full of proteins and other amazing vitamins and minerals. We're going to serve it with some quinoa and some lovely broccoli. So I really love to work out and keep fit. I've played sport all my life and it's still with me today. I'm pretty much training every day. A couple years ago I did a marathon and you can see how I fuelled myself during that training by clicking this link. But today I'm going to show you a meal prep that I eat quite often because right now I'm lifting weights, I'm trying to get strong and this meal prep is my go-to because it's not only hitting all the macros I need, it's got loads of great vitamins and minerals in it but it tastes so delicious. It's not boring and bland like many other meal preps out there. So I'm going to show you how to make it today. Let's get cooking. First up for that lovely stew, I'm going to finely chop up some onion, garlic and chilli and get that sautéing in my saucepan for a few minutes in a little bit of oil. So now I'm going to add some spices. You must get a good pantry at home of dried herbs and spices because they elevate dishes. I'm going to add some dried cumin, dried coriander, some oregano and a pinch of ground cinnamon. If you don't have any of these, don't worry, it's not going to destroy the dish if you don't have one of them. Just add a little bit more of another one or add a spice or a herb that you think will complement the dish nicely. Be creative. So avid watchers of the channel may know that I actually cooked this dish for a special guest on the channel a few years ago. If you guys know who it is, comment their name below and I'll choose one lucky person who gets it right to win a copy of my Plants Only Kitchen cookbook. I'm going to add some more flavourings to help make this really rich. I'm going to add some tomato puree, chipotle paste, soy sauce and some black beans and chickpeas. I've got about 500 grams of beans going in here. It averages around 7.5 grams of protein per 100 grams. So just make sure these beans are coated in all those amazing flavours. Nothing fancy about these beans by the way, they're organic but they're just from cans from the supermarket. I've just drained and rinsed them. I'm going to get some water in here now plus some thyme, some salt and then pop a lid on and let it bubble away for about 15 to 20 minutes and I'll show you how to make the quinoa next. So to make the perfect light and fluffy quinoa, rinse off your quinoa and get it into a saucepan and just cover it with some water about a centimetre above the quinoa. Add a pinch of salt and then pop a lid on the pan and just let it cook over a low heat for about 20 minutes and here are some quinoa facts. Quinoa is one of the most protein rich foods we can eat. It's a great source of fibre, it's rich in iron and magnesium. Per cup has about 8 grams of protein. The seed comes from Peru and Bolivia but I'm going to actually try and grow it in my garden this year in Wales. When the quinoa has plumped up and you can see a little strand coming off it, it's ready. So let's make that ancient Mayan dip sickle pack. Pumpkin seeds have 20 grams of protein per 100 grams. I'm going to get these blitzed up in my blender with some chopped garlic, spring onions, a couple of small tomatoes, a little bit of chilli, some ground cumin. I'm also going to add a pinch of salt and some fresh coriander. Wow. Now you can have it as chunky as you like. This is looking perfect now. This is bringing back some good memories right now. I'm going to add a squeeze of lime to the dip and give it one more pulse in the blender and that's it done. Right, let's check on that quinoa. Yes, that's perfect. It's nearly absorbed all the water and you can see those little strands I was telling you about. They've now separated so that shows that the quinoa is cooked. Special ingredient going in to the stew because it's nearly ready. Some dark chocolate, rich in antioxidants, but also just going to add this really luxury, rich, luxuriousness too. I'm running out of adjectives. It's too cold today, guys. I'm warming up, but we're also going to stir through some chopped coriander too, but it smells so good. It really does. And this is going to be great meal prep. It's time to serve up the meal prep. It didn't take me that long at all. I've got my meal prep containers laid out for four days. First up going in there, my lovely light and fluffy steamed quinoa. I'm going to top it with the beautiful, luxurious black bean and chickpea stew. Then some of that incredible sickle pack, a few tablespoons of that because that's going to help bring everything together. And I've got some big hitting toppings that you need to incorporate into your diet because they are protein packed and mineral rich. First up, some organic tofu. I just roasted my tofu. You can cook it however you want, but it's eight grams of protein per hundred grams. And this is going to be the perfect crispy topping to my meal prep. No meal is complete without some lovely greens. I'm putting on some steamed broccoli. Okay, my secret topping. This is going to take the dish to the next level because they're protein packed and they're so good for your hair, skin and nails. Hemp seeds. These seeds are unbelievable. 10 grams of protein per two tablespoons. I'm going to get a generous sprinkle over the top. Plus, I'm going to top with some fresh coriander and some chopped spring onion. And that is the meal prep done. The meal prep will store in your fridge for up to five days. I simply reheat mine in the microwave for around four and a half minutes. When it's piping hot, enjoy that meal. It tastes so good. This meal prep is so tasty, guys.
