Centr Team

You need protein to build lean muscle and fuel your fitness goals, but you also need to save time because life just keeps coming.

What’s the answer? High-protein meal prep.

Meal prepping takes less time than you think and – especially if you’ve just started a new workout program like Hybrid Strong – can play a big role in setting you up for success.

We’ll get you started with a few of our favorite high-protein meal prep ideas to keep you making gains morning, noon and night.

Breakfast

Whether you’re getting up early to work out or maximizing your sleep and recovery, the best breakfast is the one that’s already waiting for you in the fridge.
