Nutrition Prep Work

Anyone that knows me they know I love to eat.  Honestly it's probably one of the main reasons I focus so heavily on nutrition as a coach.  It's the whole "work on your weaknesses" ethos of CrossFit that drives that I'm sure.  Unless I am intentional about my nutrition, intake, and timing it falls off faster than anything else I do.

For those at the box who have been participating in the zone challenge I have been preaching the importance of prep-work.  It's hard some weeks to find the time to get it done.  This weekend with Easter it was no different.  Fortunately there are a lot of simple recipes out there that can be put together in under 30 minutes of work.


3 Block Fiesta Bowl
----------------------
3 oz ground turkey
1 oz shredded cheese
1.25 cup riced cauliflower
.25 cups black beans
.25 cups fresh salsa (Garden Fresh brand)
3 Tbs fresh avocado
Chilli Powder
Cumin
(additional spices to taste)

I start with 1.25 lbs of lean ground turkey, one large head of cauliflower, one can of black beans, one avocado, and one container of Garden Fresh salsa - the good stuff you find in the deli - not the cheap shit you find in the middle of the potato-chip isle.

The result is four 3-block zoned meals that meet my personal threshold of 75%+ paleo.  This is my go-to meal for my mid morning meal.

It's a great option for someone that's short on time and looking to get the prep-work done for the day or week quickly.
