WIAW: More Portable High-Protein Meals!

Here are more of my favorite portable high-protein meals =) These are perfect for bringing to work!




4 ounces of chicken, Morrocan spices, olive oil, broccoli, peppers and onions





2 ounces of egg whites, two whole eggs, Italian seasoning, broccoli and peppers and onions



4 ounces of tilapia, chili powder and paprika, avocado and veggies



2 ounces of egg whites and 2 whole eggs scrambled with spinach and peppers


This is my post workout meal these days! 2 ounces of beans, 4 ounces sweet potato, an apple, chicken, oil, and a ton of veggies!


Two hard-boiled eggs, 2 ounces of egg white cooked in the microwave to create an egg pillow, spinach and a little bit of tomato!

And while all of those meals did not come from the same day (they were basically my fave meal from each day for the past several days), this is my contribution to....



What's your favorite way to get your protein & veggies?

    1. Me too! I feel just so...healthy now! It's so weird but I love it. A lot of my GI issues have resolved too.

  5. The best I can generally do in terms of protein/veg is to cover veggies in peanut flour sauce! Far less nutritious than your ideas, sadly.

    I'm terrible for sweet snacking as well - I can't imagine having savoury mini-meals...probably why I don't have the ripped arms that you do!

  9. About the same way-I normally have eggs+egg whites+some sort of veggies/kale. Add some red pepper and it is the bomb! Great WIAW post!

  10. I too am a Tupperware queen so I love seeing your portable recommendations! I'm OK with throwing everything in a big bowl (hello oats and eggs in the same container!). Lately I have been loving tuna or hard boiled eggs mashed up with hummus and honey mustard over greens; chicken with pesto and rice noodles; and cottage cheese with almond butter! And now I am hungry.

    1. hehe - me too! I wrote a grocery list for Max the other day and after broccoli, I wrote, "it's my crack!" hahahah. It's seriously my favorite part of my meals!

  14. Your meals look delicious and nutritious! OK that is a small lie. The scrambled egg/eggwhites in tupperware disturb me. The rest - YUM!

    My fave lunch is a couple Bocas with blackening, a forest of broccoli and vinegary slaw with apples. Of course I am unbearable to be around a few hours later, but that is everyone else's problem.

    1. hahaha. I love eggs in all shapes and forms! Even when they look gross.

      Gotta say..everyone else pays the price for all these veggies I'm eating O_O

  15. Favorite way to cook veggies and protein: fry it up in a skillet with some coconut oil! Always a hit for the family :) But when I'm prepping food for the week, I usually roast them- they tend to stay better longer.

    Also, random question: how much is 2oz of egg? hah... I'm trying to figure out how to make it!

    I love roasting sweet potato, broccoli, some other veggies, and tofu when I need a portable meal.

  18. I need a good kick in the butt! Ever since I did my last comp last weekend, my eating has been completely out of control. On the plus side, I did discover the best ice cream place in the world today... :)
