Tips for meal prepping these healthy dinner ideas
- cook once eat twice: planning for leftovers means one less meal to worry about later in the week
- prep your vegetables ahead: chopping asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, etc ahead will make dinner prep a breeze
- cook your grains ahead: quinoa and rice can keep in the fridge for up to 4 days
- assemble but don’t cook: some of these meals (like the Asian Peanut Chicken, the Chickpea Tortilla Soup, and the Crockpot BBQ Chicken) can be assembled in bags or containers and stored in the freezer until you’re ready to cook.
