You’ll begin Day 2 with a Greek yogurt parfait layered with granola and berries and a bright glass of orange juice. For lunch you’ll have a teriyaki chicken rice bowl with jasmine rice and steamed broccoli. Dinner pairs pasta with marinara and meatballs, roasted zucchini and garlic bread, plus hummus with pita and a banana—there’s a smart way to prep it all…
Breakfast — Greek Yogurt Parfait & Orange Juice
Start your morning with a creamy Greek yogurt parfait layered with crunchy granola and fresh berries, finished with a light drizzle of honey, paired with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
You’ll find the parfait balances protein and fiber, keeping you full until midday.
Choose plain yogurt to control sugar, stir in a spoonful of chia for omega‑3s, and pick mixed berries for antioxidants.
Spoon granola just before eating so it stays crisp. Sip the orange juice slowly to enjoy vitamin C and a natural energy lift.
If you’re prepping ahead, assemble the yogurt and fruit in a jar, top with granola at serving, and chill.
You’ll appreciate the quick cleanup afterward, every morning.
Lunch — Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl With Jasmine Rice & Steamed Broccoli
One bowl of tender teriyaki chicken over fragrant jasmine rice with crisp-steamed broccoli gives you a balanced, flavorful lunch you’ll reach for again. The glossy, slightly sweet glaze pairs perfectly with the rice while the broccoli adds crunch and vitamins. You get protein, carbs, and fiber in one satisfying dish that travels well or sits neatly on your plate.
Scoop a mouthful to enjoy salty-sweet chicken, aromatic rice, and bright broccoli together. If you like a little heat, drizzle sriracha or toss scallions and sesame seeds on top for texture and aroma.
Serve it warm for comfort or chill the components separately for an easy reheatable option that fits busy schedules and keeps lunchtime simple and nourishing. You’ll finish energized and satisfied every time.
Dinner — Pasta With Marinara, Meatballs, Roasted Zucchini & Garlic Bread
After a balanced teriyaki bowl, you’ll switch gears to classic comfort: al dente pasta tossed in bright marinara, savory meatballs, crisp-roasted zucchini, and warm garlic bread.
You’ll twirl pasta coated in a vibrant tomato sauce, punctuated by Italian herbs and a hint of red pepper. The meatballs are browned, tender inside, seasoned with garlic, parsley, and Parmesan.
Zucchini slices roast until caramelized edges add texture and a subtle sweetness that balances the sauce. Garlic bread comes out golden, brushed with butter, garlic, and a sprinkle of parsley for freshness.
You’ll plate portions that satisfy without excess, pairing flavors and textures for a familiar, homey dinner that’s easy to serve and enjoy. You can add grated cheese or crushed red pepper to customize each plate.
Snacks & Light Bites — Hummus With Pita Chips and Banana
Think of this snack as a balanced bite: creamy, garlicky hummus with crisp pita chips and a sweet banana to cleanse the palate.
You’ll get savory and sweet contrast that satisfies without weighing you down. Hummus delivers protein and fiber, while pita chips add crunch and quick carbs for energy. The banana supplies potassium and natural sugars, making the trio suitable between meals or after light activity.
You can vary hummus spices, like lemon, cumin, or paprika, to change the profile, and choose baked or whole-wheat chips for added nutrients.
This combo travels well, stores easily for hours, and suits many dietary preferences, offering vegetarian, dairy-free, and nut-free options for simple, reliable, everyday snacking. It works well as a quick office pick-me-up or post-walk reward.
Meal Prep Tips & Serving Suggestions
When prepping this trio, keep components separate until serving so chips stay crisp and hummus stays fresh — pack hummus in a small airtight container, pita chips in a crush-proof bag, and the banana whole or sliced with a squeeze of lemon to prevent browning.
For the rice bowl and pasta, cool cooked rice and pasta quickly, portion into meal containers, and store sauce separately to avoid sogginess. Reheat protein and vegetables together for even warmth, and add jasmine rice last.
For the parfait, layer yogurt, berries, and granola right before eating to keep crunch. Label containers with dates, use clear lids so you see contents, and pack utensils and napkins.
Serve chilled or warm as intended. Don’t forget sauces and condiments on side.

You’ll enjoy a balanced Day 2 menu that’s easy to prepare and satisfying to eat. Start with a bright Greek yogurt parfait and fresh orange juice, move to a savory teriyaki chicken rice bowl with steamed broccoli, then dig into comforting pasta with marinara and meatballs alongside roasted zucchini and garlic bread. Keep hummus with pita chips and a banana handy for snacks. With simple prep tips, you’ll stay energized and happy all day today.
