Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Lean Ground Beef (90/10 or 93/7)
- 2 cups Jasmine Rice (cooked)
- 1 large Bell Pepper, diced
- 1 small Red Onion, diced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 24 oz Low-fat or Full-fat Cottage Cheese
- 1 cup Fresh Berries (Blueberries, Strawberries, or Raspberries)
- 2 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup Crushed Walnuts or Almonds
- Optional: 1 tsp Cinnamon or 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is mostly browned. Add the diced red onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Continue cooking until the onions are translucent and the beef is fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary to keep the meal lean.
- Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the broccoli florets directly to the pan. Pour in the soy sauce and add a splash of water. Cover the skillet with a lid for 3-4 minutes to steam the broccoli until it is tender-bright green. Toss everything together to ensure the beef and vegetables are well-coated in the seasonings.
- Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly into four meal prep containers. Top each portion of rice with the ground beef and vegetable mixture. Allow the food to cool slightly before sealing the lids. These bowls stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheat beautifully in the microwave.
- For a smoother texture, you can blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until it reaches a yogurt-like consistency. Divide the cottage cheese into four small jars or containers. For breakfast, top with fresh berries and honey. For a dessert version, stir in cocoa powder and a dash of sweetener before adding the crushed nuts. Store these in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go high-protein snack.
