Easy Four-Day Meal Prep

Meal prep doesn’t have to always mean making everything from scratch! Sometimes it makes sense to take some shortcuts in order to save time in the kitchen. This week’s meal prep was super simple, requiring very little cooking and only two to four ingredients per meal.

Breakfast is granola with Greek yogurt and blueberries, and afternoon snack is bananas and protein bars. Have you tried these protein bars from Costco? OMG THEY’RE THE BEST!!

These lunches and dinners are great examples of how I usually go about structuring my meals. It generally comes down to combining a protein, a complex carbohydrate, a vegetable, and a sauce. Lunches are pesto rice with my favorite Aidell’s chicken apple sausages and frozen mixed veggies. Dinner is asparagus beef stroganoff. I used pre-cooked pasta, and the sauce is just ground beef and cream of mushroom soup! I think I learned that recipe from my dad :)
