Lazy Girl Meal Prep: 5 Easy Ways to Get Protein Without Cooking for Hours
If you’re skipping meals or surviving on granola and oat milk lattes- we gotta talk. Protein is the MVP for energy, muscle, and cravings. And no, you don’t need to meal prep like a bodybuilder to hit your goals.
Here’s how I (and my busiest clients) get our daily protein in- fast.
1. High-Protein Smoothies
Keep frozen fruit, vanilla protein, flax, and almond milk on deck. Blend + go.
Add collagen or Greek yogurt for extra grams. My favorite protein powder? Puori, bourbon vanilla. Use code HARTWELLNESS at checkout for a little discount.
2. Rotisserie Chicken
The OG lazy girl hack. Eat cold, throw it on salad, or wrap it up with avocado + greens.
3. Cottage Cheese or Greek Yogurt
20–25g of protein with zero effort.
Top with berries, hemp seeds, or a drizzle of honey if you need sweet.
4. Hard-Boiled Eggs + Jerky
Snack packs that don’t suck. Pair with fruit or veggies for balance.
5. Tuna Packets or Salmon Cans
Lame name, big protein. Add mustard, lemon, or olive oil — done.
Bottom Line: You’re not “too busy” you just need go-to’s that don’t suck.
A little prep = less stress, more progress.
