MEAL PREP

We’re all about helping you to eat well without ‘eating up’ to much of your time! That’s why we love meal prepping. Whether you prep breakfast, lunch or dinner, we know you’ll be thanking yourself for getting organised and saving you cooking as often throughout your week. Here are the meal prep recipes we’re loving this week.

 

BREAKFAST:
  • Basil and Avocado Toast with Boiled Eggs
    Is there anything better than avocado on toast? We think not. Plus avos are going so cheap at the moment which makes this a budget-friendly breakfast too. When it comes to meal prepping this recipe we recommend boiling your eggs in advance and leaving in the fridge cooked, ready to peel and to top your toast with. If you’re someone who makes or eats breakfast at work, why not bring a load of bread, an avo, a bunch of basil and your cooked eggs into work on the Monday. Doing this means you’ll have your breakfast already at work and then all that’s left to do is toast your bread and assemble! P.S. this recipe also works for lunch too!

LUNCH:
  • Tuna Nicoise Salad
    Our version of the delicious Tuna Nicoise Salad uses a coconut cider vinegar dressing which helps to support gut healing and the cleansing of the body. When we meal prep this salad, we’ll have everything except for our can of tuna and dressing already tossed together. When we’re ready for lunch then we’ll add the can of tuna and the dressing on top. This is the sure fire way to keep all the other ingredients fresh.
  • Pumpkin, quinoa and Kale Salad
    This simple recipe is rich in vitamin A & C and is packed full of fibre to help support a happy tummy plus is PERFECT for meal prep! Make sure that you add the dressing when ready to eat.

DINNER:
  • One Pot Lasagna
    Who knew lasagna could be prepared so effortlessly over the stove?! If you’re meal prepping for one, this recipe will give you 4 dinners or if you’re feeding 2, double the recipe! It keeps so well in the fridge and reheats perfectly.
  • Mexican Burrito Bowl
    A healthy, fulfilling and a good-for-you burrito bowl that is so simple to whip up! Full of fresh ingredients and incredible flavour thanks to the tasty taco-flavoured seasoning. Our favourite way to meal prep this is by cooking up the mince and the rice in advance so that when you’re ready for dinner and that’s left to do is prepare your salad ingredients. It’s a HUGE time saver.
