Blog Post: My Favorite High-Protein Lunch (Fast & Easy!)

If you’re like me, you don’t have time for complicated meal prep, but you still want something that’s nutrient-dense, high in protein, and actually tastes great. That’s why this meal is a staple in my routine.

What’s in it?

This meal checks all the boxes: protein, carbs, healthy fats, and flavor. Here’s what you need:

✅ ½ lb ground beef (85/15) – Cooked, fat drained
✅ 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes – A great carb source that keeps energy levels steady
✅ A handful of greens – For fiber and micronutrients
✅ Sprinkle of cheese – Just enough for flavor
✅ Drizzle of chipotle mayo – Adds a kick without overloading on calories
✅ Steak seasoning – Because everything tastes better with it

How to Make It (in 15-20 minutes)

  1. Roast your sweet potatoes – Dice, toss with avocado oil, and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes (or use leftovers from meal prep!).
  2. Cook the beef – Season, brown in a pan, and drain the fat.
  3. Assemble – Add greens, top with beef and sweet potatoes, sprinkle cheese, and drizzle with chipotle mayo.
  4. Enjoy!
