{"id":22283,"count":184,"description":"Meal prepping is one of the easiest ways to feed yourself and your family healthy food with less stress. Whether you\u2019re prepping the ingredients or prepping full meals, you will find that meal prep saves time, money and reduces food waste. These healthy meal prep ideas for the week<\/strong> will keep you on track.\r\n\r\nDid you know that I wrote a book about meal prep? It's called Meal Prep in an Instant<\/a> and contains meal plans, grocery lists, and recipes for seven full weeks.\r\n\r\nMeal prep is simply preparing your meals ahead of time. You can do this daily, weekly, or monthly. I like to make my weekly meal prep menu<\/strong> on Saturday and prep on Sundays. It doesn\u2019t have to be every meal of the day, either. For example, I only prep lunches and snacks because I prefer to make dinner every night.\r\n\r\nThere is no single rule on how to meal prep. The best meal prep plan is the one that works for you. Choose recipes that you already know you enjoy and that you can cook with ease.\r\n\r\nThese recipes are perfect for meal prep because they transport well, freeze well, and don\u2019t have a ton of fragile ingredients. Certain foods hold up better for meal prep, such as lean protein, soups, sauces, and whole grains.\r\n\r\nThe recipes on this page are perfect for prepping! Some of my favorite dinner meal prep ideas<\/strong> are rotisserie chicken<\/a>, healthy orange chicken<\/a>, this Chipotle chicken recipe<\/a>, and this skinny buffalo chicken dip<\/a>.\r\n\r\nMeal prepping is for anybody looking to save money, lose weight, or just focus on eating healthier. If you\u2019re a beginner to meal prepping and don\u2019t know where to start, we have your back! Check out our How to Meal Plan<\/a> guide, where you\u2019ll find free meal prep printables, weekly menus, tips, and more!\r\n\r\nWhether you\u2019re prepping with an Instant Pot<\/a>, Crock Pot<\/a>, or using your stove or oven, these delicious and simple meal prep recipes will make your life easier.\r\n\r\nReady to try meal prepping?
