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

1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Start preparing the potatoes and start baking them in the oven.
2. Next, prepare the batter for the peanut butter bar. Place it in a greased baking dish and bake it in the oven.
3. Then, prepare the beef for the instant pot.
4. Meanwhile, boil the chicken breasts in a pot. After cooking, remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them with two forks. Let them cool before assembling the celery chicken salad.
5. Then, prepare the peanut chicken celery stir fry, and cook the breakfast potatoes and eggs.
6. After the instant pot, beef is finished cooking, carefully let the steam release and open the lid. Remove the beef from the pot and shred the beef with two forks.
7. Separate half of the beef for the stuffed baked potato and the other half for the beef soft tacos.
8. 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
• Let all items cool before placing them in the refrigerator
• Keep all items refrigerated under 40F until ready to eat or reheat
• Breakfast: The fried eggs and potatoes and peanut butter bar can be reheated in the microwave
• Lunch: The celery chicken wrap can be served chilled while the beef for the soft tacos can be reheated in the microwave
• Dinner: Both meals can be reheated in the microwave

Extra Flavors and Substitutions

• Bananas: If you don’t want your bananas to turn brown, wait to slice them before you
• Chicken Salad: You can also use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken so that you don’t need to boil the chicken
• Potato: You can also use sweet potato
• 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.
• Fruit: Use leftover fruit in smoothies, on top of yogurt, or with your cereal
• Veggies: Freeze any leftover veggies for later use. Use leftover herbs in omelets or other dishes for the weekend
