Meal Prep for Beginners
Meal prep gets oversold as color-coded containers and a four-hour Sunday cook. It doesn't have to be that. Start with a couple of recipes that reheat well and build from there.
1. High protein chicken bowls
The classic starting point for a reason: portion once, eat all week, doesn't get boring fast.
2. Lentil soup that reheats better than it started
Soups are one of the most forgiving meal-prep foods. This one actually improves after a day in the fridge.
3. Tuna pasta salad, no reheating required
Good for anyone without easy microwave access at work or school. Serve cold straight from the container.
Ad4. Cowboy caviar for grab-and-go lunches
Chop once, portion into containers, and you've got a week of no-cook lunches or sides.
5. Slow cooker pulled pork, 3 ingredients
Set it, forget it, and portion the results across the week. About as low-effort as batch cooking gets.
