When it comes to meal prepping, the key is choosing foods that taste delicious and hold up well in the fridge or freezer.
You want to choose ingredients that will still taste good days after you’ve prepped them. Think hearty grains like quinoa or brown rice, proteins that reheat well, like grilled chicken or tofu, and veggies that stay crisp, like bell peppers or broccoli.
Don’t forget about sauces and dressings – they can be real game-changers! Store them separately to keep everything fresh.
Absolutely! Meal prepping for five days is not only safe, but it’s also a smart way to streamline your week. The trick is to store your meals properly. Use airtight containers to keep the food fresh and prevent unwanted fridge flavors from sneaking in.
Most cooked meals will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. However, if you’re prepping salads, keep the dressing on the side until you’re ready to eat.
For some dishes, especially those with delicate veggies or certain seafood, you might want to freeze them and thaw them in the fridge the day before eating.
If you’re looking for the easiest meal prep food, you can’t go wrong with a grain bowl because they’re the ultimate mix-and-match meal.
Start with a base of grains – think brown rice, quinoa, or even couscous. These can be cooked in bulk with minimal fuss.
Next, add some protein – grilled chicken, beans, or boiled eggs are easy and can be seasoned to your liking.
Then, toss in various veggies – raw, roasted, or steamed- all work wonderfully.
Don’t forget a dollop of your favorite dressing or sauce on top.
