10 Lunches To Meal Prep For A Week

Meal prep means planning meals ahead and getting only the ingredients you need, which will save you time and money and minimize the waste. Once you get into that habit, you’ll learn how to meal prep for the upcoming week. The ability to meal prep in advance is particularly useful for those who lead busy and unpredictable life and very frequently need a boost of energy on the go. Whether you pack it in a lunchbox or have it ready once when you come back home, either way, you save time and avoid frustration. Additionally, it’ll become easier for you to track what you consume, keep an eye on properly portioned meals and stay healthy thanks to a well-balanced diet. To make it simple for you, here’s the list of 10 Lunches To Meal Prep For A Week!

1. Turkey Lunch Bowl

Easy peasy recipe for a delicious meal you can have on the go or reheated at home once you come back. Limey brown rice, a big handful of sweetcorn, a side of tomato salsa and your daily portion of meat. Very simple and tasty, just the way it should be!

2. Buddha In A Jar

This is so simple to meal prep and so nicely served, even if it’ll be in your lunchbox! Cooked brown rice with a drizzle of soy sauce, covered with baked veggies and chicken, and topped with avocado and greens! Add a dash of salt and pepper, and the meal is done!

3. Vegan Mexican Pasta Salad

Very creamy and flavorsome dish will not only satisfy your stomach but your mind too. High in carbs and nutrient dense meal you can meal prep on Sunday night and kick start your day! The combination of various spices give this meal a proper texture and savor you shouldn’t resist!

4. Thai Coconut Quinoa Bowl

Hight protein lunch that will give you the energy to power through your day. It is a delicious and easy plant-based meal with a flavor of coconut, which makes the entire meal more exotic. Meal prep and save for later!

5. Creamy Tomato And Spinach Pasta

I tend to call it a cheeky meal for lazy people because it takes a few minutes to make and doesn’t contain many ingredients either. Use a wholegrain pasta to keep it healthier and avoid cream cheese to make the sauce thicker. That’s how I like it!

6. Vegetable Fried Rice

Another meal prep recipe for lazy people, meaning 10-minute rice with vegetables! Great alternative to the post-workout meal since it’s a source of protein and carbs. Again, I would advise using brown rice or basmati – more nutritious and healthier! Pro tip: spice it up with a tablespoon or two of dark soy sauce which makes the dish extra flavorsome!

7. Honey Chipotle Meatball

I know what you think, sweet and spicy does not go hand in hand! Yes, they do and it is a bomb! The fully satisfying dish you can meal prep a day before to enjoy a wholesome nutritious lunch! If you’re a plant foodie then swap the meatballs with vegan “meatballs” and follow the recipe. Either lentil balls or chickpea balls will work well in this recipe!

8. Spicy Honey Garlic Instant Pot Noodle

Great food inspo for those who don’t tolerate gluten to meal prep for a week! I can’t stress enough how delicious rice noodles are! So soft and delicate but at the same time full of flavor and nourishing! If you’re a fan of Asian cuisine then follow along with the recipe and meal prep for your belly and satisfaction!

9. Prawn Zucchini Noodles

Zucchini noodles have been very popular in recent years promoting healthy foods and a plant-based diet! You don’t have to be vegan to love to meal prep and enjoy every bite of it. Here’s a very simple recipe you can meal prep for yourself and family in 15 minutes!

10. Coconut Mango Chicken

Hats down for this recipe and congratulations to the author! One of my favorite chicken recipes I’ve found lately! Exotic, Asian and flavorsome dish to meal prep on Sunday or for the entire week! You will love it – and thank me later!
