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:
- Gather all ingredients, spices, tools, and equipment, and review the recipes in advance to make meal prep easy and stress-free.
Cooking Phase 1: Oven Recipes:
- Apple Muffin Bar: Preheat the oven to 400°F, mix banana and egg until smooth, stir in oats and baking powder, pour into a greased dish, top with diced apple, and bake 15–20 minutes until cooked through.
- Rosemary Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F, cube the potatoes and artichokes, toss them with chicken, seasonings, and olive oil in a baking dish, bake 35–40 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F, then serve with arugula salad and lemon vinaigrette.
- Island Spiced Pork: Preheat the oven to 400°F, roast butternut squash, apples, and red onions with olive oil and seasonings for 15–20 minutes, marinate and sear the pork tenderloin, finish cooking it in the oven until 145°F, let rest, and serve with the roasted vegetables.
Cooking Phase 2: Stove Top Recipes:
- Egg Deli Roll Ups: Sauté bell peppers in oil until soft, stir in eggs until set, then place eggs on layered turkey slices, fold, and secure with a toothpick.
- Turkey Toscana Soup: Sauté onions and garlic in oil, brown the turkey, then add broth, collard greens, potatoes, and seasonings, simmer until tender, and finish with coconut milk and red pepper flakes.
Final Steps:
- Salmon Stuffed Avocado: Dice the onions, peppers, and apple, chop the green onions, mix with salmon, mustard, mayo, sriracha, and seasonings, then fill avocado halves with the salad and serve with celery sticks.
- 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.
