Pulled Pork Meal Prep Bowls: 4 Ways

Pulled Pork Meal Prep Bowls: 4 Ways – these four healthy meal prep bowls can all be made together to beat meal prep boredom!

LIFE YOU GUYS. I made and shot this recipe about two months ago. Then I started this blog post one month ago. And now I’m FINALLY publishing it because life has been so crazy busy I can barely find time to shower.

Just kidding, I shower every day, nobody panic. But the real reason I’ve been so busy is because I got a promotion at work!

I’m so so excited to step up in my career and continue to learn and grow. Unfortunately, my little Sammich tends to get neglected along the road.

I’ve been itching to post this recipe because, as you know, I’m obsessed with meal prepping. Also, I’ve recently become sort of obsessed with Costco.

There are so many amazing, healthy products to buy from Costco … I actually look forward to my trips there and always walk out with about 5 impulse purchase items.

Recently, I’ve been loving Love Crunch Chocolate Granola and Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce.

I also discovered their Kirkland brand smoked pulled pork and have been obsessed every since. It’s completely clean, whole 30-approved, and it’s SO good. Plus, making it is as easy as microwaving it to reheat.

This is what I use to make quick and healthy meal prep bowls, but you can also use any leftover pulled pork. I prepare all four bowls together on a Sunday or Monday night for the week. Then, when you’re ready to eat, just give them a quick nuke for about 2 minutes.

The best part about these recipes is that they duplicate ingredients so you can make all four at the same time. Each one of these recipes makes 1-2 meal prep bowls, so it’s the perfect amount for lunches and breakfast hash for the week.

You can also choose to make multiples of just one of these recipes. Each recipe’s instructions will tell you which ingredients you need … just double the recipe and divide amongst three or four bowls.

Here’s the lineup:

Pulled Pork Sweet Potato Hash – the perfect breakfast meal prep recipe. If you can, wait to add the egg until you’re ready to eat.

BBQ Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potato Bowl – probably the easiest on the list! Can be done in just minutes.

Pulled Pork Taco Meal Prep Bowl– my personal favorite. Adding this spice mixture takes the pork to the next level.

BBQ Pulled Pork Quinoa Meal Prep Bowls – for all my quinoa lovers out there!

I hope these Pulled Pork Meal Prep Bowls help to make your life easier, and I hope you love them as much as I do.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 cups cooked pulled pork (I use Kirkland brand from Costco)
  • 2 sweet potatoes, divided
  • 1 red bello pepper, diced
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 1 lime
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning

Instructions

    Pulled Pork Sweet Potato Hash
  1. Dice one sweet potato into small, consistently-sized pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add diced sweet potato, 1/2 diced red onion, and 1/4 diced red bell pepper to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato softens.
  3. Add 1.5 cups cooked pulled pork to the pan and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Crack three eggs into the pan, cover, and let cook without stirring until the eggs are done to your liking. Divide mixture among 3 food storage containers, with an egg in each. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
  4. Reheat for 1-2 minutes to serve. (If you're able to, I recommend frying the egg right before eating it instead of cracking it into the skillet).
  5. BBQ Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potato Bowl
  6. Pierce the other sweet potato with a fork all over. Wrap in a wet paper towel and microwave in 5-minute increments until it's easily pierced with a fork.
  7. Cut the sweet potato in half and place in two food storage containers. Top each sweet potato half with 1/2 cup cooked pulled pork and drizzle with 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce each.
  8. Steam broccoli florets over boiling water until done to your liking. Divide broccoli among food storage containers, cover, and refrigerate until ready to eat. Reheat 2 minutes to serve.
  9. Pulled Pork Taco Meal Prep Bowl
  10. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add 1/2 cup cooked pulled pork, 1/4 cup red onion, and 1/4 cup red pepper to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon taco seasoning. Add a small amount of water if it's not mixing well. Stir to combine and cook until the onion and pepper soften. Place pork mixture in a food storage container. Garnish with jalapeno, lime and cilantro if desired. Pack 2 tortillas separate. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
  11. To reheat, remove tortilla, jalapeno, lime and cilantro. Microwave pork for 1-2 minutes. Assemble ingredients as tacos to eat.
  12. BBQ Pulled Pork Quinoa Meal Prep Bowls
  13. Place quinoa, 1/2 cup cooked pulled pork, 1/4 cup red onion, and 1/4 cup red pepper in a food storage container. Drizzle pork with 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Reheat 2 minutes to serve.
