Blanched Broccoli

Prept Fam, we don’t just eat for fuel; we eat for performance, longevity, and (let’s be honest) convenience. When it comes to the “Mount Rushmore” of meal prep, Blanched Broccoli sits right at the peak.

It’s the quintessential prep staple, but if you’re only seeing it as “diet food,” you’re missing out on its true potential. Here’s why a pound of Prept broccoli is a game-changer for your weekly routine.

1. The Science of the “Flash Blanch.”
Why blanched and not just raw or mushy-steamed? At Prept, we flash-blanch our florets. This process involves a quick scald in boiling water followed by an ice bath.

The Result: It locks in that vibrant emerald color and, more importantly, preserves the Vitamin C and Sulforaphane (a powerful antioxidant) that usually gets destroyed by over-steaming. You get the crunch of raw with the digestibility of cooked.

2. A “Protein-Plus” Vegetable
Most people think of broccoli as just fiber. But for the Prept Fam, every gram of protein counts. Broccoli is surprisingly protein-dense for a vegetable, offering about 12–13 grams per pound. When you’re trying to hit those high-protein targets without adding extra meat, a hefty side of broccoli is the most innovative way to close the gap.

3. The Ultimate Meal Base
Think outside the “side dish” box. Because our broccoli is blanched to a perfect al dente, it’s incredibly versatile:

Not one, but 3 unique ways to enjoy it!
The Prept Stir-Fry: Toss it into a hot pan for 60 seconds with our Sautéed Peppers and Onions.
The Cold Crunch: Chop it up cold and mix it with Pico de Gallo for a refreshing, crunchy salad.
The Creamy Bowl: Stir in a dollop of Sour Cream and some cracked pepper for a guilt-free “creamy broccoli” fix.

4. Effortless Fiber
Let’s talk gut health. One pound of broccoli packs nearly 16 grams of fiber. In a world of processed snacks, having a container of Prept broccoli ready to go ensures your digestion stays as on track as your workouts.

The Prept Fam Hack:
If you’re reheating your broccoli in a microwave, place a damp paper towel over the top. This creates a mini-steam chamber that revives the florets, making them taste like they were blanched just seconds ago.

Stop scrubbing stalks and start living. Order your Blanched Broccoli by the pound and stay Prept for whatever the week throws at you.
