30 Easy Meal Prep Recipes You’ll Make On Repeat

It happens every few weeks without fail: I look up from my laptop as the clock strikes 5:30 p.m. and have a sudden realization. 1.) I have to make something for dinner, and 2.) I have absolutely no clue what that dinner is going to be. And I know I’m not alone in this all-too-regular dilemma, but I can’t help but feel like it says something about my adulting abilities (or lack thereof). During these occasions, what I really need are some easy meal prep recipes I can prep ahead of time and just pull out of the fridge at dinnertime. Otherwise, I steadily get hangrier as I search my refrigerator and kitchen cabinets, hoping that I won’t have to resort to my trusty takeout go-to. Sure, meal prep requires a bit of time upfront, but it’s all worth it to dodge those vicious delivery fees.
