Some of the best things about summer are the plentiful seasonal fruits and vegetables.
One way to taste that tropical feel is to incorporate fruit flavor into your meals.
Summer shrimp meal prep: 3oz shrimp, 1/2 of a bell pepper, 1 cup coconut brown rice.
Shrimp , even in a small amount, is loaded with protein, cooks quickly, and easy to enjoy with cold or hot prep meals.
Tips to mix up your cooking prep.
- Utilize different oils for flavor: peanut or coconut oil can add hints of hidden flavors to enjoy your foods.
- Switch up your stocks: instead of chicken or beef stock add fruit juice or coconut water or milk to cook rice or protein sources.
- Play with shapes, slice and dice certain cuts of proteins or vegetables can stretch your basic preps, ex) slice up basic steak and chicken breast into fajitas or sandwiches or salads .
- Pair with nice spices: fresh ginger and basal, fresh rosemary and lemon zest, lime and coconut (not just for drinks).
- Make your own sauces : Most bottled sauces have too much on the food label. Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup and other unnecessary added sugar and sodium.
