Sour Cream

Why the Prept Fam Doesn’t Skip the Sour Cream
In the world of clean eating and meal prep, “fat” is often treated like a four-letter word. But at Prept, we know that a sustainable lifestyle isn’t about deprivation—it’s about balance.

Our Sour Cream is the unsung hero of the fridge, providing the creamy, tangy finish that turns a “diet meal” into a gourmet experience. Here’s why this classic topping has a permanent place in the Prept Fam’s routine.

1. Healthy Fats for Nutrient Absorption
Many of the vitamins found in your Prept veggies (like the Vitamin K in your Steamed Asparagus or the Lycopene in your Pico de Gallo) are fat-soluble. This means your body needs a source of healthy fat to actually absorb and use them. A dollop of sour cream isn’t just delicious—it’s actually helping you unlock the nutrition in your greens.

2. Instant Texture Upgrade
Meal prep can sometimes feel a bit “dry” by the end of the week. Sour cream is the ultimate fix. It adds a velvety, rich texture to your meals that makes every bite feel indulgent.

The “Creamy” Hack: Stir a spoonful into your Cooked Black Beans to create a rich, stew-like consistency without the need for heavy oils or butter.

3. The Great Cooler-Downer
If you like to spice up your meals with hot sauce or jalapeños, sour cream is the essential cooling agent. It balances the heat in your spicy fajita bowls (featuring our Sautéed Peppers and Onions) and rounds out the acidity of a fresh Pico de Gallo.

4. Versatility Beyond the Potato
While it’s the soulmate of our Roasted Potatoes, the Prept Fam uses sour cream in creative ways all week long:

The Quick Dressing: Thin it out with a little lime juice and cilantro for a zesty crema.

The Protein Scramble: Whisk a teaspoon into your morning eggs for the fluffiest scramble you’ve ever had.

The Pasta Sauce: Stir it into our Linguine with a splash of pasta water for a light, tangy cream sauce.

Prept Fam Tip:
A little goes a long way. Because sour cream is calorie-dense, we recommend using it as a “finishing touch.” By adding it after you’ve reheated your meal, you preserve that cool, refreshing contrast against your warm potatoes or beans.

Balance is everything. Add a pound of our rich Sour Cream to your order and stay Prept for a more flavorful week.
