Meal Prep: Ropa Vieja - Chewjitsu.net

Several of my students and people that randomly saw my last meal prep video sent me messages telling me that they loved the Thai Chicken recipe I posted before. So I posted another favorite of mine. This recipe is another easy meal prep. It’s a crockpot version of Ropa Vieja. If you’ve ever eaten at a Cuban restaurant it’s probably on the menu.

I just wanted to share that someone asked why I decided to post cooking videos. The reason is because I have a ton of students who are busting their tails in the gym and looking for improvement. Whether that is in performance or the way they look like without their shirt.

So to try and help more I started posting these cooking videos. I know that for me personally, I made the biggest jumped in progress when my diet is in check. Meaning that I’m eating healthy food.

With that said, eating healthy doesn’t always taste the best. So I’m also trying to share ways to eat really well while still being able to enjoy your meals. This is super important because if you’re on a diet and hate the food you’re eating, it’s unlikely you’ll continue.

So make sure that if you’re trying to get the most out of your training and stick to your diet. Meal prep! Being prepared for the week will help you avoid eating poorly and make sure that you’re getting the nutrition you need to fuel your body properly.

Alright, I’ll get of my soap box. If you want a good tasting recipe, watch the video and give it a try.

Thanks!
