On the Menu: Sea Bass, Shrimp Salad, and Steak Frites

Sunday Meal Prep | Week of May 4th

Happy Sunday, readers.

Let’s start with tonight’s dinner: pan-seared sea bass with French lentils and arugula pistachio pesto. It’s one of those meals that feels restaurant-level but is surprisingly easy to make. The pesto adds a fresh, punchy twist—peppery arugula, buttery pistachios, and just enough garlic to make it interesting. Paired with lentils and crispy-skinned fish, it’s satisfying without being heavy, and full of flavor from start to finish.

And speaking of satisfaction: let’s chat protein for a second. As much as I talk and share about this, I feel like everyone is still full of questions.

So, next week, I’m putting together a deep dive into one of the most common nutrition questions I get—how to get enough protein (and why it matters). But before I write it, I want to hear from you. Click this image and drop all your questions here👇.

Also a few announcements for paid subscribers. Our monthly Ask Me Anything thread is open in the chat. This is a place for you to drop all your random nutrition Qs. I’ll also be hosting a live conversation about protein later this month. If you’re not a paid subscriber and want to get in on the fun, join us:

Here are a few meal prep-adjacent things I’m loving these days:

Random beauty finds
I found the OSEA Hyaluronic Lip Booster in a gift bag recently, and it’s insane—so hydrating and lush. I’ve been reaching for it nonstop.
Also, this round brush: I got my hair done last week and bought the stylist’s blow-dry brush on the spot. It’s that good. Smooths without tugging and perfect for beach waves.

Travel must-have
I have a busy couple of weeks of travel (heading home from a family wedding in Mexico today) and I’m all about my magnesium and glutathione. I love traveling with LivOn Labs—they’re super effective and easy to pack.

And..I have a deal for you: Buy the glutathione and get the magnesium for free. Just add both to your cart and use code MIAMAG at checkout.

Alright, friends, let’s cook!

This week’s dinners are simple, flavorful, and packed with high-quality protein to keep you feeling steady all week. Think: crispy sea bass with lentils, a bright shrimp and quinoa salad, an easy chicken tostada night, and steak frites to close things out strong. Nothing fussy—just really good food you can actually get on the table.
