Notes
*Calories are an estimation and are per serving. This is a high-protein meal, so don't be deterred by the calories!
Prep ahead: cook the cauliflower rice and lamb and store them in a container in the refrigerator; then, slice the vegetables and store them in a separate container
Substitution: can use ANY cut of lamb! I typically go for ground because it's less expensive, but any kind will work
