Method
 

Meal Prep Steps
  1. Choose 2 proteins, 2 carbs, and 4 veggies for the week.
  2. Cook the carbs first (quinoa and brown rice), then roast the vegetables.
  3. Prepare the protein: bake or pan-cook chicken, prepare salmon or tofu as desired.
  4. Make one sauce for the week, such as lemon tahini or yogurt dill sauce.
  5. Portion everything into containers, keeping sauces separate to avoid sogginess.
  6. Label containers to easily identify meals.

Notes

This meal prep plan is flexible. Adjust ingredients based on personal preferences and dietary needs. Store prepped meals for 3–4 days in the fridge or freeze for later use. Reheat with a splash of water or broth to retain moisture.
