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. Start with the recipes that require the oven such as the Egg Frittata.
- Meanwhile, start preparing the items that require the stovetop such as the taco meat, grilled chicken, and turkey meatballs.
- Next, assemble the cold items such as the yogurt and chicken coleslaw.
- 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: The Egg Frittata can be reheated in the microwave while the yogurt can be served chilled
- Lunch: Both meals can be served chilled
- Dinner: Both meals can be reheated in the microwave (serve side salad chilled)
Extra Flavors and Substitutions
- Taco Meat: You can use any kind of ground meat such as chicken or turkey
- Yogurt: You can use any kind of fruit for the topping
- Turkey Meatballs: You can any kind of meat 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
- Fruit: Save the extra fruit for smoothies in the morning
