What I Cooked for my NBA Player Client

Recipes to everything I made on this day

When I cook for professional athletes, the focus is always on food that fuels — but never sacrifices flavor. It’s about creating meals that support recovery, energy, and performance, while still making the client excited to eat every day. This week’s Mediterranean-inspired menu delivered all that and more: protein-packed meal prep, a vibrant and elevated dinner, and cookies so good my client almost finished the whole batch in one sitting.

If you’re looking for meal prep inspiration that checks all the boxes — clean, flavorful, and satisfying — here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what I made, with full recipes to try at home.

Family-Style Meal Prep Menu

For meal prep, I always make sure there are fresh greens and house-made dressing in the fridge so my client can assemble quick, nutrient-dense salad bowls using the proteins and sides I prep. This keeps meals flexible, fresh, and easy to enjoy throughout the week.
