Meal prep can be daunting and even a bit overwhelming, so I’m sharing 22 recipes you can meal prep right now! Take a look at the list and get started with your meal prep.

If you’re new to meal prepping, I’ve put together a super helpful post to get you started. Check it out here.

Beef burritos with zucchini

• These burritos are a great way to sneak in vegetables without anyone knowing. You can easily prep a whole batch of these to keep in the freezer and enjoy later. I love giving them as a gift for new Moms.

Black bean burritos

• This recipe is made with only 5 ingredients and a great vegetarian meal prep option. Packed with protein and a great filling option.

The easiest freezer meals to prep

• One blog post and 5 great meal prep recipes. Each recipe requires no pre-cooking; simply prep and freeze.
  • Smoked sausage and vegetable soup
  • Sesame Chicken Stir Fry with Broccoli
  • Spicy Chickpea Sweet Potato and Rice Curry
  • Shortcut White Chicken Chili
  • Lemon Garlic Mediterranean Pork

Grilling meal prep

• If you’re brave enough to grill outside all winter long – or maybe you live somewhere warmer than the Midwest – this grill meal prep post is the perfect post for you. I use it all summer long to make things like sweet potatoes, corn, Italian sausages and burgers.

Miso butter and eggs

• Meal prep isn’t just for dinner – don’t forget to prep for breakfast too! In this recipe, you can make each of the components ahead of time then simple assemble when you’re ready to eat.

Energy balls without dates

• I love to prep for snack time too and these energy balls are the perfect thing to make. If you don’t like dates, these are the energy balls to make.

No bake coconut date energy bites

• This recipe happens to be gluten free, vegan and whole30 compliant too! These energy bites are a great snack to grab on the go.

Healthy pasta meal prep

• This 5 ingredient recipe is super flexible and full of flavor. Once you’ve prepped it, you can portion it out into containers so you’re not over-eating, which is so easy to do with a tasty pasta dish like this!

Egg cups

• These egg cups are a great recipe for the whole family and another super flexible option. Put in whatever vegetables and/or meats you have on hand, bake in muffin tins and have an easy breakfast, lunch or snack when you need some protein!

Freezer quiche

• Another great recipe to prep and freeze. If I’m prepping it just for me, I like to freeze in individual slices. But, if you’re prepping for a group, this is a great option too! Another great recipe to enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Quinoa and chicken bowls

• Prep once and enjoy these recipes all week; quinoa and chicken three different ways!
  • Asian chicken and quinoa bowls
  • Mexican chicken and quinoa bowls
  • BBQ chicken and quinoa bowls

5 Ingredient chicken salad

• My favorite shortcut in a recipe like this is to use a rotisserie chicken and simply shred it up. And this chicken salad is made with Greek yogurt so it’s a great healthy lunch option.

Chicken broccoli Alfredo casserole

• Use any pasta you like when prepping this casserole and throw it in the freezer to enjoy on any night you need a warm comforting meal. If you’re thinking ahead, take the pan out of the freezer to thaw the night before for a shorter bake time.

Chicken enchilada casserole

• This recipe is one of my favorites. It’s another easy to put together casserole dish that everyone will love. Again, you can use a rotisserie chicken to shorten prep time if you’d like.

Pepperoni pasta salad in a jar

• If you’re going in to the office these days (and not working from home), packing a salad in a jar is a great option for lunch. This recipe is great because it includes chickpeas, pasta, pepperoni, cheese and greens – what’s not to love!?

Freezer frittata

• Another great egg dish that you can easily prep, freeze and eat when you’re ready. This frittata is made with salsa and sausage, but you can get creative and flexible with ingredients.

Eggless waffles

• We eat these waffles on repeat in our house, so anytime I make the recipe, I double it and make more for the freezer. That way, I always have some on hand.

Buffalo chicken and quinoa

• Quinoa is one of my favorite items to meal prep with because it’s neutral and you can add almost any flavors. Plus, it’s such a great source of protein. This dish is a great one to pack for lunch any day of the week!
