The dinner recipe in this video is from my NEW book ‘Meal Prep For The Busy Girl’! You can use the code ‘NEWYEAR20’ to get 20% off this month only: https://guides.liezljayne.com/busygirlmealprep/

In this video I’m sharing a full day of eating based on what I ate to lose weight – with healthy, high protein recipes from my old food journals (where I wrote down all my favorite recipes that helped me lose more than 40 lbs).

It’s easy to make gluten-free, dairy-free, or even vegan if you want (I’ll mention how)..

Hope you enjoy!Liezl
