Look, I get it. Not everyone has the luxury of a microwave at work, and eating your sad looking sandwich every day makes you question your life choices. But fear not, I’ve got the perfect high-protein, no-heat-needed meal to keep you full, fueled, and feeling like a champ.
This Prawn & Pasta Power Bowl is quick, easy, and actually tastes good cold (unlike that sad, dry chicken breast you've been forcing down). Plus, it’s packed with 45g of protein to keep those gains you've been working so hard for at the gym.

How to Make This
Gather Your Ingredients – Chop, dice, and cook your pasta and prawns. Ensure that it has cooled down a bit before adding them to the meal prep containers.
Assemble Your Bowls - Divide each serving with a mix of salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, corn, pasta, capsicum, red onion and prawns, portioning them as needed.
Store the Sauce Separately - Trust me, nobody wants a soggy salad. Keep the dressing in a little container in the fridge and drizzle it over when you're ready to eat. Mix and enjoy!
Extra Tips:
If you don't like prawns (get a grip), you can swap them for chicken if you'd like.
Try to make 4 portions at one time to save time.
Want an extra protein boost? Add boiled eggs.
Need more flavour? A squeeze of lemon, some fresh dill and some chilli flakes will take it up a notch.
No more boring, dry meal preps. Just high-protein, no-microwave-required deliciousness that’ll keep you fueled for the day.
Now, go make it and thank me later!
