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 400°F for about 22 minutes. Cook jasmine rice and steam frozen broccoli on the side. 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 on the side. Fill containers with corn salsa, shredded cheese, and a small cup of sour cream.
Cook a full box of penne while sauteing zucchini, yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers in olive oil with garlic. Toss the cooked pasta with the vegetables and a sauce. Add fresh basil and parmesan.
Choose two to three recipes per week. Cook grains and proteins first. Chop all vegetables before cooking. Label your containers with the day of the week. And most importantly, keep it simple.
