This 7 ingredient meal prep plan takes under an hour of active time and sets you up for 3 easy dinners. Includes a printable shopping list and video prep demo.
I’ve shared how I make easy lunches with this Mix & Match Meal Prep Plan, and today I’m back with a dinner meal prep plan…it’s absolutely incredible how a little bit of prep work can make weeknight dinners so easy!
This meal prep plan has actually been on the site for years, but it was super confusing. So today I have a clear plan with printable shopping list and a video prep demo that is going to help you get your meal prep done easily and efficiently.
What’s on the menu? We are prepping 7 components on meal prep day and turning them into 3 easy weeknight dinners.

Meal prep day
- cook Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chicken– get this going first as it takes the longest. There are also directions to cook in the Instant Pot or in the oven included on the recipe card
- shred veggies– cabbage, carrots, zucchini. I used a food processor but grabbing bagged slaw will cut this step out completely!
- shred cheese– again I used my food processor but you could buy pre-shredded cheese
- slice bell peppers–
- shake up vinaigrette– this takes 5 minutes or less!
Once you have prepped the 7 ingredients, you will store them in the fridge for up to 4 days and use them to make 3 different easy peasy dinners.
Having parts of the meals prepped ahead is going to save you so much time on cook day!
