The Best Macro Friendly Lasagna Recipe For Meal Prep

melaniewalessustainableliving

This lasagna is one of my staple dinners. Using simple ingredients and a few key swaps to cut back on the calorie load of a typical lasagna it is an amazing option that the entire family will enjoy. Made in bulk, it is still delicious when reheated during the week. 

Meal planning and meal prep is a huge part of my weight management success. I plan each week what my meals are going to be and their portions. Then I grocery shop and prep ahead of time for those meals. 

To keep and maintain my results I continue to set myself up for success on a daily basis. It’s those moments when we feel tired and hungry that we make the easiest and fastest choice. For me, that used to mean carry out or having extra snacks while waiting on my main meal to come together. However, planning and preparing ahead makes the fastest and easiest choice also the best choice for my health and fitness goals. 

The recipe for my Macro Friendly Lasagna is from the Bulk Meal Prep section of my e cookbook “The Art of Meal Prep for Sustainable Living Volume 1”. 

The recipe pages are taken straight from the cookbook. Free recipe below. Give it a try and see what you think!

I wrote my cookbooks so I could have all my go to recipes in a convenient location to make choosing what to meal prep each week easier. But I am excited to be able to share them with you too. This way you have plenty of easy and delicious recipes to help you reach and maintain your own fitness goals.
