QUESTION:

• Are you trying to get better at meal planning?
• Do you find yourself eating the same recipes every few weeks?
• Or are you counting macros?

If you are bored of eating the same recipes every week and answered yes to any of these question, then you are going to want to check out my notes below. Tips on how you can incorporate this Peruvian Red Snapper Ceviche into your meal plan.

NOTES FOR MEAL PLANNING:

Meal planning doesn’t have to be hard or take a lot of time. In fact, meal planning can be fun when you are provided with easy new recipes each week. Meal Planning can also help save money, prevent food waste, and save you time.

The best things about this recipe is: it’s easy to clean up, simple to make, tastes phenomenal, and is a protein packed meal. A great recipe during the week or weekend dinner.

NOTES FOR MEAL PREP:

Typically my recipes are recipes that can be meal prepped and/or are great re-heated. However, this recipe is different from my typical recipe. I love to cook and that means cooking all types of food, and sometimes that means cooking recipes that are not meal prep-able, or good the next day. This is one of those recipes.

Not that this dish is not AMAZING, because I am telling you, it is! It is one of my all time favorites! Although, this recipe really does need to be eaten the day it is fully prepared.

However, there are certain elements of this recipe that can be prepped:

• You can prep the citrus liquid that the fish is cooked in 1-5 days before it is actually mixed in with the fish.
• Also you can prep the Aji Verda sauce 1-7 days before it is mixed in with the fish.

By prepping these few things in advanced, it does make the actual preparation of the Peruvian Red Snapper Ceviche a breeze the day you do plan to eat it!

NOTES FOR COUNTING MACROS:

Typically, I give tips on how you can adjust the recipe to fit your macro goals. However, the adjustments that can be made to the recipe itself won’t necessarily change the macros much.

Adjustments that can be made to this Peruvian Red Snapper Ceviche:

• You can choose to use a different type of fish, these are the types that I would recommend: shrimp, tilapia, cod, bass, halibut, fluke, rockfish, grouper, mahi mahi, or snapper. Be sure to get the freshest fish possible.
• You can also choose to use different types, combinations, and amounts of citrus: Lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, and any variation of those fruits.
• You can also choose to use more or less Aji Verde Sauce

Although, these adjustments won’t change the macros much in this recipe. This is just so you can make adjustments based on the ingredients you have or can find in your local grocery store.

However, the one macro that you can easily adjust would be the carbohydrate and to do this would be based on the extras…the items your serve with the ceviche:

• Tortilla Chips
• Plantain Chips
• Boiled Sweet Potatoes
• Crispy Choclo
• Rice
• Aji Verde Sauce

All of these are the typical sides or dipping devices used to eat the ceviche. Additionally, they are all high in carbs, allowing you to add more or less carbs to your meal. Use your imagination and eat your ceviche with as many items/sides as you would like. Whatever fits your macro goals!
