Make sure to go to How this page works first if you haven’t yet.

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. First, boil the quinoa and rice and microwave the sweet potatoes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the items that require the stove top such as the lentils, chickpeas, cauliflower fried rice, and breakfast quesadilla.
  3. After the quinoa cooks, assemble the cinnamon toast quinoa and the kale salad.
  4. 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: Breakfast quesadillas can be reheated in the microwave. Serve the cinnamon toast chilled
  • Lunch: The stuffed sweet potatoes can be reheated in the microwave, serve the quinoa and kale salad chilled
  • Dinner: Both meals can be reheated in the microwave

Extra Flavors and Substitutions

  • Quesadillas: Add slices of avocado for extra healthy fats
  • Breakfast Quinoa: You can use any kind of fruit to serve with the quinoa
  • 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
