Meal Planning Tips & Recipes

Meal Planning Tips: Think about what you’re going to make for the week before you go to the grocery store so you are not overwhelmed. Also pick your meal prep day. Mine is Sunday so every week I set aside about 2 hours to prep and make everything. Big tip is to prep your snacks, separate your snack items into bags whether it be almonds, strawberries or whatever it may be to ensure you stay on track.

Let’s start with two of my favorite UMP recipes. S’mores Protein Waffles are great during my Muscle & Strength Building season and my Protein Frappuccino works in both my muscle & strength and weight cutting phases.
