So you don’t know “how” to meal prep? Or maybe you think it’s too hard, takes too long, or isn’t worth the effort because “I can just grab lunch somewhere — it’ll be healthy and doing it myself doesn’t save that much money anyway!”

Well… let’s bust that myth right now. Here’s a tried and proven solution that lets you whip up 6 meals — enough for 2 meals a day — in less than 20 minutes. Each meal packs a minimum of 45g of protein and comes in at around 600 calories.  And did I mention that each meal is less than HALF the cost of a store bought equivalent???

I mean, this saves you MONEY.  It saves you TIME.  It saves STRESS.  And it will keep you fuelled with high-quality protein all week long.

Let’s get prepping! 💪🥗
