Mediterranean inspired turkey meatballs in a cauliflower rice bowl is my new favorite WHOLE30 COLD LUNCH MEAL PREP!!!
So I had a stroke of genius a month ago and made these EASY cauliflower rice bowls as my COLD meal prep lunch for the week. COLD CAULIFLOWER RICE?! Yup.
I thought it was going to be a failed experiment. WRONG. Pretty much became my new favorite lunch to take in! And my coworkers didn’t have to smell reheated cauli rice! 🍚
Just made a big batch of Mediterranean inspired turkey meatballs, sliced veggies, and put over a bed of cauliflower rice that I got at a grocery store. Then a drizzle of Tessemae's on the go lemon garlic dressing 🍋
Sometimes I make it the old fashioned way but if I’m in a hurry and only want to spend 35 minutes on Sunday meal prep... this recipe is for folks on the go!!! 🏃🏻💃🏻
Typically on a Sunday, I take a couple hours and batch cook for 3-4 days worth of breakfasts and lunches:
Meal Prep Game Plan:
