Meal prep recipes are the best! They save you time and money, and when they're done right, they are really tasty, healthy and so convenient.
I love a good meal prep idea for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and know how much you love them too, which is why I am so excited to share with you my 8 best meal prep recipes which are perfect for you to take to work!
All of these recipes are super quick easy, and perfectly fit in a meal prep container so you can quickly grab them on the go. Perfect for rushed mornings, quick lunches and tired nights.
1. Sesame BBQ Chicken with Lemon Yoghurt Dressing
This take on chicken & rice is amazing!! I used YoPRO yoghurt for a dressing because I wanted a healthier and lighter option, that doesn’t skip on flavour!
2. Vanilla & Berry Overnight Oats
These Vanilla Overnight Oats are super easy, delicious and a huge time saver in the morning. Just take them out of the fridge and they're read to eat that morning. Breakfast in two minutes, convenience that tastes good!
3. Meatballs with Broccoli and Rice
This one is super easy and one of my favourites because you can double the recipe and FREEZE the meatballs, which means you can have a delicious, nutritious meal in no time! This recipe will make more meatballs then needed, but I think its great to freeze them - so make bulk!
4. Fish Cakes and Vietnamese Salad
Im all about fun meal preps, and this is my favourite by far! I love the freshness from the salad, it works perfectly with the fish cakes! I typically serve it cold, but the fishcakes can be heated separately. I also would make the dressing as a whole, and dress each salad every day - to ensure no soggy-ness and a super fresh taste!
Everyone has been asking for a VEGGIE meal prep - so HERE IT IS! I used 3/4 cup of rice, 1/2 cup of bean mixture and divided the pumpkin into 3's (roughly 1 cup each!) and used that as the meal prep. Of course, change the amounts to suit your dietary requirements.
6. Peanut Butter & Cacao Overnight Oats
Because I know how much you guys love overnight oats.. here we have the best recipe so far with these delicious Peanut Butter & Cacao Overnight Oats. Mmmm yum, super quick, easy & and delicious. You have to try them!!
7. Honey Salmon
Meal Prep is one of my favourite things to do, because I love being creative and trying new things! This meal prep, I made with salmon! This will do 3 meals - but of course, alter to fit your own nutritional needs! This is something that I would prep for a super easy & quick dinner! In each meal I put 1/4 cup cooked quinoa, 1 cup of veggies, 1 salmon fillet and a squeeze of lemon in each.
