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:

  1. Before the magic begins, chop, measure, and prep like a pro. Scan your recipes, grab those pans, and cue the cooking jams—it’s go time!

Cooking Phase 1: Start with the Quinoa

  1. Whip up a big batch of quinoa for the following recipes:
    • Cinnamon Toast Crunch Breakfast
    • Citrus Shrimp Salad
    • Chicken Quinoa Fried Rice

Cooking Phase 2: Steak Wrap

  1. Fire up that air fryer for crispy eggplant fries (egg + panko ).
  2. Meanwhile, grill that steak to perfection.

Cooking Phase 3: Breakfast

  1. While quinoa’s bubbling, knock out the spinach egg quesadillas.
  2. Once the quinoa’s cooked, toss together the cinnamon toast quinoa for a sweet crunch to start your day.

Cooking Phase 4: Chicken Recipes

  1. Sauté that cashew chicken first, then move on to the chicken quinoa fried rice.

Final Steps:

  1. 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
  • Keep all items refrigerated under 40°F until ready to eat or reheat
