Meal Prep Run Down

Since it’s Thanksgiving week, we are doing a short prep since I know we have lots to prep for the big holiday gatherings. However, here are some meal prep recipes for earlier in the week. Have a great Thanksgiving break!

1. First prepare the cranberry muffins in the oven.
2. Next, prepare the balsamic steak bites on the stove top.
3. Finally, prepare the celery chicken salad wraps.
4. When cooking is finished, plate everything up in containers, and let them cool before refrigerating.

If you’re sequencing your meal prep, be sure to keep an eye on everything! Make sure food is kept refrigerated under 40F degrees until ready to eat.

Assembly Tips

• Evenly divide meals according to the serving size

• Keep all items refrigerated under 40F until ready to eat or reheat
• Breakfast: The muffin can be warmed up in the microwave.
• Lunch: The chicken salad can be served chilled.

Extra Flavors and Substitutions

• Muffin: Feel free to use enjoy with a side of Greek yogurt for added protein.
• Chicken Wrap: You can use lettuce wraps or even regular sandwich bread
• Steak: Use your choice of steak cut
• Supplement meals with additional snacks such as fresh veggies and fruit for additional daily caloric needs. You can use lime/lemon and olive oil in place of salad dressing

Extra Leftover Ingredients Not Used
