Meal prep doesn't have to mean spending your entire Sunday in the kitchen. With a little planning and the right recipes, you can prepare meals for the whole week in about an hour.
Season boneless skinless chicken thighs with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Bake at 200°C for about 22 minutes. Cook jasmine rice on the side and steam some frozen broccoli. Divide into five containers and serve with sriracha mayo or teriyaki sauce.
Brown ground turkey with taco seasoning, diced onion and a can of black beans. Prepare cilantro lime rice as a base. Pack into containers with corn salsa, shredded cheese and a small cup of sour cream on the side.
Cook a full box of penne while sautéing zucchini, yellow bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and red pepper in olive oil with garlic. Toss the cooked pasta with the vegetables and a light sauce. Finish with fresh basil and parmesan.
Pick two to three recipes per week. Cook grains and proteins first. Chop all vegetables before you start cooking. Label your containers with the day of the week. And most importantly, keep it simple.
