April 21, 2025 Meal prep monday.

Crockpot Carnitas:

• 4lbs pork butt or pork shoulder

• 1.5 cups chicken bone broth

• 1 cup orange juice

• 2 limes, squeezed

• 2 tsp oregano

• 2 tsp cumin

• 6 minced garlic cloves

• 1 tbsp salt and 1 tbsp pepper

On your Pork, evenly coat with salt and pepper. Add the pork into a crockpot, then add all the other ingredients to the crockpot. Let roast on high for about 5 hours or until you can easily shred the Pork (this will depend on how big your Pork was!).

Once done, preheat the oven to 450 degrees, shred the pork and put in a baking dish. Place in the oven until the top of the meat crisps up (5-10 minutes).

You can take it out of the oven, mix it up and place back in until most pieces are crispier. Store in the fridge for the week to make different meals!

Garlic Aioli Turkey bacon Breakfast Sandwiches:

• 6 Slices Turkey Bacon

• 8 Eggs

• 6 Cheese Slices (Pepper Jack or Cheddar)

• 1 serving egg whites

• Bagels (I use Daves Killer Bread)

Garlic Aioli:

• 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise (I use Avocado Mayo!)

• 1 minced Garlic Clove

• 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

• 2 Tsp Olive Oil

• Salt and Pepper to Taste

In a medium skillet, cook up your Turkey Bacon.

Mix together your eggs and egg whites. Season with salt and pepper. Add to a greased pan and cook until done.

Lightly toast your bagels and once everything is done cooking, put the garlic aioli, cheese slice, eggs + turkey bacon into the bagel. Place the other side of the bagel on top and wrap in parchment paper.

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer.

Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Protein Balls:

• 1 cup Cottage Cheese

• 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup

• 2 tbsp Vanilla

• Cinnamon, to taste

• 2 1/2 Cups Almond Flour

• 2 scoops Protein Powder (I use Clean Simple Eats!)

• 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips

In a blender, add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla. Blend until smooth.

In a mixing bowl, add in your almond flour, protein powder and cottage cheese mixture. Add in your chocolate chips and mix together.

Once done mixing, store in the fridge for 20 minutes. Take the mixture out and use a small ice cream scooper to form into balls (1 tbsp sized balls). Store in the fridge for a week!

*This dough is a bit stickier than normal protein balls due to the cottage cheese*
