Welcome aboard if you’re new! Our meal planning tool is your personalized meal prep assistant – you can tweak your serving sizes or skip some recipe options, it’s all in your hands! Our meal plans are meant to be a guide, so feel free to use all recipes or just a few to get you started! Click on each recipe to learn more prep tips. Enjoy the meals at your pleasure, but here’s an example of how we plan out the meals during the week:
Set Your Pace
- If you’re a beginner at meal prep: Be prepared to set aside 2-3 hours. Once mise en place is complete, all of these recipes can be completed one by one.
- If you’re a meal prep pro, use the sequenced steps below: These steps give you the flexibility to cook items simultaneously in a sequence of events.
- Be sure to set timers and check on food items to avoid overcooking. Sequencing will save you time and meal prep can be done in 1-2 hours.
Meal Prep Run Down
- First, prepare the beef udon in the Instant Pot since this will take the longest.
- Next, prep all the items that require the oven/Air Fryer such as the sausage rollups and chicken tenderloins.
- While those recipes are cooking, prepare the beef with cabbage and the pan-fried tofu on the stovetop.
- Finally, prepare the pan-fried potatoes and eggs.
- When everything is finished cooking, 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.
