This week’s ‘healthy Italian’ meal-prep is so TASTY! Who doesn’t like Italian food!? Inspired by NCAA soccer champion @adamgoldfaden’s order at his favorite Italian restaurant! Full of protein and taste, this meal is perfect post workout or run
Since I always want to make my meal-preps fast and easy, I used the turkey bolognese sauce from Trader Joe’s. I substituted pasta with a bunch of vegetables for a low carb option! It tastes so good you don’t even miss the pasta!
