BULKING TIPS
One of the great things about this dish is how great it can be for cutting, but also how it easy is to make it an excellent bulking meal. For example, you can slice an avocado and garnish this soup with it for an easy additional 234 calories, 21 grams of healthy fat, 12 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of protein.

You can also garnish this high protein chicken tortilla soup with a cheese. For purposes of taste, we recommend a complimentary crumble mexican cheese like Cotija, but a shredded Monterrey jack or even cheddar would also go great and could easily add another couple hundred calories to the bottom line.

Casseroles are any serious meal-preppers staple for keeping themselves fed through out the week. There (usually) easy to make, they store well, and best of all: they make for easy clean up since you are usually doing the bulk of your cooking in one dish, the same dish you will use to serve your meal.

While our recipe is more basic, this goes great with added vegetables.  If you would like to add more vegetables while keeping it keto-friendly, roasted shredded Brussels sprouts, roasted broccoli, or roasted zucchini would be great additions to this dish.  Though, if you are okay with it not being Keto, you could add a variety of other delicious vegetables to it that would kick up it’s flavor.  You’re only limited by your imagination!

Tips for Bulking:

1. Swap out coconut milk for whole fat for extra calories and flavor
2. Increase cheese for extra calories and flavor

Tips for Cutting:

1. Play around with different cheese amounts and types.  You can cut down the amount of cheese you use, use a lower fat cheese and have more, etc.
