Chef Ana's Perspective ## Chef's Notes This meal prep features a vibrant array of colors and textures, ensuring every meal is as visually appealing as it is delicious. **Read the full notes** I focused on lean proteins like chicken kebabs and tender beef, complemented by a variety of roasted and steamed vegetables. The menu includes nutritious sides like quinoa, roasted squash, and green beans, providing a balanced and satisfying culinary experience. Fresh herbs and bright flavors are incorporated throughout, from the lemon-herb chicken to the chive-garnished beef. I made sure to include both hearty and lighter options, catering to diverse preferences within the same meal prep session.
