Week 2: Meal Prep Ideas

Meal prepping for work or school can be a breeze this week by following my easy formula. Here is a breakdown of what I have on the menu!

MY SIMPLE MEAL PREPPING FORMULA:

• 1 x grab and go breakfast - I recommend trying to prep at least enough for three days of breakfasts!
• 1 x balanced snack to reach for - Choose something that is high in protein and fiber!
• 1x protein you can easily add to lunches (make it versatile- something you could add to salads, bowls, wraps etc.)
• 1x carbohydrate source to add to a variety of meals
• Properly wash and store your produce- I recommend chopping up 3-4 vegetables to easily grab for snacks and to add to meals. This will make it much mor likely they will get eaten!

Here is what's on the menu this week:

Quick & easy protein for lunches:

Meal prep storage staples:

Vegetable tray

I get asked where I got my vegetable tray every time I post it. Unfortunately the exact one we have is very old, and I haven't been able to find a link for the exact same one.

However, I've rounded up a few similar options you can try out:

• Covered veggie tray with dip holder
• Round locking veggie tray
• Round covered veggie tray
• Covered veggie tray with handle (but no dip holder)

Containers

• 9 piece- glass container set with lids - these are great because it comes with small, medium and large options!
• 5 piece- glass container set with lids- I find medium containers are the most versatile, so if you are looking for just the medium sized, these are a great option!
