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, pre-heat the oven to 400F.
- Next, prepare the items that require the oven such as the Honey Oat Muffin Bars and Tilapia with the peppers and cherry tomatoes.
- Place the items in the oven and start baking them.
- Meanwhile, prepare the items on the stovetop such as the grilled chicken, taco meat, buffalo meatballs with cauliflower, and orzo pasta.
- Finally, assemble the yogurt with fruit.
- 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: Serve the yogurt and fruit chilled, however, the honey oat muffin bars can be reheated in the microwave
- Lunch: The grilled chicken wrap can be served chilled. The taco meat can be reheated in the microwave
- Dinner: Both meals can be reheated in the microwave
Extra Flavors and Substitutions
- Breakfast Fruit: Feel free to serve any kind of fruit on top of your yogurt and with your muffin bars
- Wrap and Soft Taco: You add sliced avocados to these meals for additional healthy fats
- Tilapia: Feel free to cook salmon instead of tilapia
- Meatballs: You can use your choice of pre-cooked meatballs such as chicken, beef, or pork
- 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 for a later recipe, or you can cook the full amount, and freeze the portion that you do not eat, and save for later use.
- Veggies: Freeze any leftover veggies for later use. Use leftover herbs in omelets or other dishes for the weekend
