Matcha + coconut milk + avocado + vanilla + collagen. Steady energy, no crash.

🐟 Lunch — Spicy Salmon Sushi Bowl

Baked salmon + jasmine rice + avocado + cucumber + spicy mayo + sriracha + sesame seeds. Takeout vibes, way more balanced.

🍯 Snack — Whipped Feta + Hot Honey Plate

What I Eat in a Day | to stay lean + build muscle
This is what my meals usually look like! 🫘 Nothing fancy just clean protein from beans which are also full of fiber and I pair them with quinoa to make the dish a complete protein (adds more protein - quinoa has more protein than rice). Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is between 20-40g of protein.
