Korean Beef BBQ Bowls

Korean Beef BBQ Bowl : 

The key to a healthy lifestyle is all about planning and more planning! Planning your meals the night before, or even a week in advance are a great way to ensure a healthy diet. An easy way to plan your meals is by creating a weekly meal prep. By creating multiple meals for the week you ensure that you stay light and fit during the week. Try this Korean Beef BBQ Bowl to satisfy your meal prep goals. 

This meal prep creation is inspired by traditional Korean BBQ flavors and provides great comfort while not breaking the waist band. Additionally, the egg on top packs an additional protein source for those looking to build a bit of muscle. This meal prep is perfectly balanced to fit your nutritional needs.

For those cutting calories, you can avoid the EVOO, use lean 90/10 ground beef, and hold off on the egg. Additionally, you can swap out the rice for riced cauliflower or add extra veggies like carrots to the ground meat. 

Check out this recipe below for a great meal prep option that will keep you energized and fit throughout the week. If you like this recipe, be sure to check out our Peanut Sesame Zoodles with Tofu here.
