We love to set ourselves up for a hassle-free week by squaring away our meal plan for the days ahead. Sounds nice, right? Meal prepping – bulk preparing portions in ready-to-eat containers ahead of time to reheat and reassemble throughout the week – is one the best ways to ensure consistently nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Plus, it can be incredibly helpful when you’re trying to hit certain protein goals.
The best meal prep recipes are carefully constructed to ensure ingredients don’t get soggy (an absolute bummer when opening your lunch bag at work), are nutritionally balanced, and, most importantly, taste delicious and are way more exciting than boring leftovers. No matter your tastes or dietary restrictions, we’ve got a full lineup of easy, high-protein meal prep recipes to keep you full and fueled throughout the coldest months. Stack containers of Moroccan chickpea bowls in the fridge and toss breakfast burritos in the freezer, all easy (and more cost effective) alternatives to last-minute takeout.
