Oh my goodness, I literally laughed out loud when I watched this. It’s funny because it’s true. 😊 This video also reminded me of why guys don’t wear leggings to work out –it would be quite risqué!
I just switched back to my previous strength style weightlifting routines vs. the pure hypertrophy bodybuilding style workouts I’ve been doing for the past four months. I have to admit that I’ve been enjoying the lighter weight/higher rep routines. I think I’ll work those back into rotation more often. So far, I haven’t noticed that I’ve lost much strength though, which is good!
This is why I have breakfast #1 at home, and bring breakfast #2 and lunch to work with me. I like to do a weekly meal prep on Sunday so I can just grab my food in the morning. I don’t mind eating the same lunch every day for a week, as long as it’s delicious. I tried something new (and super easy) this week and it’s winner winner chicken dinner!
Spicy Chicken and Sweet Potato Meal Prep Bowls, FTW!
INGREDIENTS
2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons spicy seasoning mix (I used Cajun this time)
a few tablespoons of olive oil
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
5-6 cups broccoli florets ( or broccolini)
coarse sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
avocado / hummus / lemon juice / for serving
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Toss the chicken pieces with the spices and a quick splash of olive oil. Stir to combine; store in the fridge for about 30 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
Arrange the vegetables on their own sheet pans (preferably ones with edges to catch drips, etc.). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Arrange the chicken on a separate sheet pan.
Bake all ingredients for 12-15 minutes. Remove the broccoli and chicken. Stir sweet potatoes and roast another 15 minutes or so.
Done! Divide your servings out into containers and be happy you have meals ready for the week! 😀
I love sweet potatoes. They are an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene). They are also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. Additionally, they are a good source of potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus. Plus, they’re delicious!
