I learned how to meal prep in law school and it kind of changed my life. Back then, it was all about having something easy to grab in between classes, studying, and trying to fit in a workout. Now, even though I’m no longer in school, life can feel more chaotic than ever and I still do some sort of meal prep every single week.
Some weeks I may just prep a grab and go breakfast while other weeks I cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No matter what I always feel better about the week ahead when I’ve done a little prep.
My weekly meal prep process looks like this:
- Make a meal plan for the week that outlines what my husband and I are eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Look through the pantry and fridge and write my grocery list.
- Head to the store or order groceries online.
- Unpack the groceries and get ready to prep my meals for the week!
A Few of My Favorite Meal Prep Recipes I Make on Repeat
I love trying new things in the kitchen to keep meal prep interesting but I have a few meal prep recipes that I return to time after time.
- Sheet Pan Breakfast Burritos: these are one of my husband’s favorite breakfast recipes! I like to keep a few in the freezer at all times.
- Cucumber Chickpea Salad: the easiest lunch salad that gets better as it sits! I like to pair this with a little extra protein for a quick lunch.
- Slow Cooker Chicken Carnitas: another family favorite! So easy to make and so versatile!
- Cookie Dough Protein Balls: I keep a batch of these in the freezer constantly. They’re perfect when just need a little snack or sweet treat.
I also have a few meal prep containers that I absolutely love and use all of the time!
- Rubbermaid Brilliance Containers: these are my very favorite meal prep and leftovers containers that I’ve been using for years!
- Small Glass Storage Jars: I love these for overnight oats, chia pudding, sauces, or dips!
- Weck Jars: when I need something a little bigger, these are the jars I reach for!
