As we ease back into normal routines and look toward a busy school year, it’s a great time to get reacquainted with meal prep. Taking some time on a weekend to prep delicious, packable meals for the week not only sets you up for an easier week, but it also helps you skip the drive-through, and other convenient temptations, on busy days.
When it comes to meal prep recipes, we think the best ones are packable or freezer friendly. Bonus points if they’re both! After all, meal prep should bring an element of convenience to your week and being able to bring a healthy meal anywhere or freeze it for a quick dinner solution after a busy day is the ultimate convenience.
