Prep-Head Instructions
Chopping and making dressings/sauces all at once saves so much time. A few tips:
- Breakfast and lunch: Prep over the weekend.
- Dinners: Prep over the weekend or in the morning of the day you’re making it.
- Ordering via Instacart: use the individual buttons under each recipe to add them directly to your Instacart. Take note of the serving size and adjust for the week (i.e. smoothies serve 1 so 5x for the week).
Meal-Prep Breakfast | Blended Overnight Oats
Prep Directions: Follow the recipe instructions to make it all the way through. Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy or reheat as directed in the recipe.
Gluten-free: Be sure the oats are certified gluten-free.
Meal-Prep Lunch | Greek Chicken Meatballs
Prep Directions: Follow the recipe instructions to make it all the way through. Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy or reheat as directed in the recipe.
Dairy-free: Use nutritional yeast instead of parmesan cheese and follow the directions below for dairy-free tzatziki sauce.
Gluten-free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs. We used Alaia’s Gluten Free Plain Bread Crumbs. We also tested this with Gluten-Free Panko Breadcrumbs and both worked well (though we prefer Alaia’s).
