Before we get to the recipies, I want to detail some findings concerning the above points that influence which recipies I include and which I don’t.
Research
Cost
This is a rabbit hole that you could fall down forever in. Just a few points I want to think about:
Produce
This includes fruits and vegetables. This website links to some USDA data that analyzes the cost of all sorts of produce. I could dig into the data, but for now I think I’ll use the old charts from ~2000 that they have on the front page.
Meat
For now, I’m going with the assumption that meats are generally the most expensive way to get your protein. That doesn’t mean I’m cutting them out (due to the tastiness/sharing factor), but I will try to reduce meat use whenever I can.
Breakfast
Oatmeal
Baked
This baked oatmeal recipie is the shit. I don’t put the chocolate chips in, use vanilla blended greek yougurt. FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED TIME TO BAKE!!!
I’ve also seen this apple-berry one that I’ll probably try out later.
Cold
The simple 2:1 oatmeal to milk with added cinammon, bananas, strawberries, and honey.
I am trying to move away from this because I often screw up the ratio and the taste just isn’t where I want it to be without adding brown sugar.
Regular
I don’t do this much since it isn’t very preppable, but this seems pretty good
Egg
Lunch/Dinner
Burrito bowls
This burrito bowl is the shit. High protein and yummy, can’t ask for much else. I make the guac and pico de gallo myself. The beans are a must.
Ingredients
Protein powder
The idea with this recipie is to avoid additives in store-bought protein powders.
