Meal planning notes

  • Prepare the base ahead of time and portion it before adding fresh toppings.
  • Keep sauce separate until serving so the texture stays fresher.
  • Use the same structure with a different protein later in the week.

Substitutions

  • Swap the protein for tofu, chicken, salmon, turkey, or beans based on preference.
  • Use cauliflower rice or extra greens when you want a lower-carb version.
  • Change the sauce to vary flavor without changing the full recipe.

Storage and reheating

Store components in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat the cooked ingredients first, then add sauce after warming.
