Steamed Asparagus

When you’re looking to level up your meal prep from “standard” to “premium,” there is one vegetable that stands above the rest: Steamed Asparagus. For the Prept Fam, asparagus is the ultimate “lean and mean” green. It’s elegant, efficient, and packed with functional benefits that help you look and feel your best. Here’s why this nutrient-dense powerhouse belongs in your weekly rotation.

1. The Low-Carb Legend
If you’re watching your carbohydrate intake or following a Keto/Paleo lifestyle, asparagus is your best friend. With only about 8–9g of net carbs per pound, it allows you to eat a massive, satisfying portion while keeping your blood sugar stable. It’s the perfect way to fill your plate without filling your carb count.

2. Nature’s Natural Detox
Asparagus contains a unique amino acid called asparagine, which acts as a natural diuretic. For the Prept Fam, this is a secret weapon for shedding excess water weight and reducing bloating. It helps flush out extra salt, making it the go-to veggie when you want to feel lean and “tight” for the weekend or a big event.

3. High-Performance Micronutrients
Don’t let the slim stalks fool you; asparagus is a heavyweight in the vitamin department.

Vitamin K: Essential for bone health and proper blood clotting.

Folate (B9): A key player in DNA repair and energy production.

Antioxidants: Rich in Vitamin E and glutathione, which help fight oxidative stress from intense workouts.

4. Effortless Pairing
The earthy, slightly nutty flavor of steamed asparagus makes it the perfect partner for high-quality proteins.

The Power Couple: Pair it with salmon or steak for a classic, high-performance meal.

The Prept Breakfast: Chop up your cold asparagus and toss it into an omelet with a dollop of our Sour Cream.

The Zesty Side: Top it with a generous scoop of Pico de Gallo for a fresh, crunchy contrast.

Prept Fam Tip:
Asparagus is best enjoyed al dente. We steam ours so it retains its signature snap. If you’re reheating it, give it just 30–45 seconds in the microwave—any longer and you’ll lose that perfect texture. For an extra gourmet touch, hit it with a squeeze of fresh lemon or a sprinkle of sea salt.

Upgrade your greens. Order your Steamed Asparagus by the pound and stay Prept for peak performance.
