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
Chopping and Prepping Ingredients:
- Before you start cooking, chop, measure, and prep all your ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother. Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Review your recipes and gather all of your cooking pans and utensils.
- Marinate the Italian Chicken while you start your oven recipes.
Cooking Phase 1: Start with the oven recipes
- French Toast Sausage Roll Ups: Slice each bread and dip it in the egg and milk mixture. Roll the sausage into the bread slices. Place them in a greased baking dish and bake them in the oven..
Cooking Phase 2: Stovetop (while oven items bake)
- Italian Chicken and Green Beans: Grill the chicken on each side. Then transfer the chicken to a sheet pan and finish cooking it in the oven.
- Meanwhile, boil the green beans. After they get tender, saute them in a pan.
- Beef Stir Fry: Saute the beef strips. After they cook, remove them from the pan. Add the Chinese broccoli to the same pan and sauté it until they are tender. Return the beef strips with garlic, and mix them all together.
Cooking Phase 3: Assembly
- Assemble salad components for the salmon salad. Cut the avocado and stuff it when you are ready to eat the meal to prevent the avocado from browning too early.
- Assemble the salad components for the celery chicken salad. Keep the wrap separate from the chicken salad until you are ready to eat the meal to prevent the wrap from getting soggy.
- Mix together the ingredients for the chia pudding and place them the containers and let it set.
Final Steps:
- Storage: Once all the dishes are fully cooked, plate everything into individual containers. Allow them to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator for storage. This will keep your meals fresh and ready to enjoy throughout the week.
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
