3 Easy Meal Prep Hacks (+ Bonus: Best High-Protein Breakfasts on the Go!)
Hey Girl HEEEEY!
We all know meal prep can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are three easy ways to simplify your meal prep, save time, and stay on track—without spending your whole Sunday in the kitchen.
1️⃣ Batch Cook Your Protein
🔹 Grill, bake, or slow-cook a big batch of protein (chicken, beef, tofu, or salmon) at the start of the week.
🔹 Keep it simple with seasoning so you can mix it into different meals—tacos, salads, stir-fries, or grain bowls.
🔹 Time-saver tip: Use a slow cooker or Instant Pot for hands-off cooking while you do other things! <—looove me some crock pot chicken with Siete Taco Seasoning!
2️⃣ Use Pre-Chopped or Frozen Veggies
🔹 Pre-chopped veggies save so much time! Grab a mix of bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots for easy stir-fries.
🔹 Frozen veggies are just as nutritious and can be roasted, sautéed, or tossed into soups.
🔹 Quick hack: Throw spinach or kale into your morning eggs or smoothie for an effortless nutrient boost of minerals other foods may be lacking.
3️⃣ Prep & Assemble, Don’t Pre-Cook Everything
🔹 Instead of full meals, prep the building blocks: cooked grains, chopped veggies, and portioned-out proteins.
🔹 Assemble fresh in minutes—toss together a quick bowl, wrap, or salad without the soggy leftovers.
🔹 Pro tip: Keep a go-to sauce (like pesto or a Greek yogurt dressing) to instantly level up any meal. <–TJ Maxx has the best tiny containers for this!
