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, preheat the oven to 400F.
- Next, cook the grapefruit in the Air Fryer.
- Then, bake the breakfast potatoes and zucchini slices in the oven.
- Meanwhile, cook the taco meat and ground beef cabbage stir fry on the stovetop.
- Afterward, cook the cod filet and assemble the grapefruit coleslaw
- 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.
Assembly Tips
- Evenly divide meals according to the serving size
- Let all items cool before placing them in the refrigerator
- Keep all items refrigerated under 40F until ready to eat or reheat
- Breakfast: The grapefruit can be served chilled. You can also keep yogurt and nuts separated to prevent them from getting soggy
- Lunch: The cod and beef zucchini nachos can be reheated in the microwave. Serve the grapefruit coleslaw chilled
- Dinner: Both meals can be reheated in the microwave
Extra Flavors and Substitutions
- Breakfast Taco Meat and Potatoes: Feel free to use sweet potatoes
- Grapefruit: You can also do this with large oranges
- Taco meat: You can also add sliced avocado for added healthy fat
- Ground meat: You can use your choice of ground meat such as chicken or turkey
- 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
- Protein: Freeze any uncooked meats and save them for a later recipe, or you can cook the full amount, and freeze the portion that you do not eat, and save it for later use.
- Veggies: Freeze any leftover veggies for later use. Use leftover herbs in omelets or other dishes for the weekend
