Taking two proteins, two carbs, a few sauces and a big bag of veggies and transforming them into 12 meals in under one hour! Mix and match to get 12 different meal prep bowls.
I’ve shared how to prep 24 lunched in 2 hours before, but you don’t have to be in the kitchen for two full hours to crank out a bunch of meals. Today we’re talking efficiency and taking some shortcuts to get these 12 meals ready in under an hour!
Today’s meal prep is for those of you who are short on time, but still want some variety in your meal prep routine. This meal prep session makes 12 unique meal prep bowls with three different flavor profiles, two different carb options and two different proteins.
These are not real ‘recipes’, and to be honest I was pretty much winging it here. My goal was to show you a formula you can use to get variety in your meal prep and getting them prepped quickly!
Take these ‘recipes’, switch out the sauce, or the protein or the carbs, and make it your own.
The mix & match formula
- 2 carbs- I am using quinoa (1/2 cup per bowl) and sweet potato (1/2 sweet potato per bowl)
- 2 proteins- I am using chicken breast (3-4 oz per bowl) and chickpeas (1/2 cup per bowl)
- 3 sauces- I made my own lemon dill yogurt sauce, used store-bought teriyaki and store-bought salsa
- veggies- I grabbed 2 big bags of pre-chopped & washed veggies and roasted them up
Watch the video below to see exactly how I put together this prep ahead meal plan. It’s so easy! You can find more of my recipe videos on my YouTube channel, or on Facebook.
