With a new week comes fresh opportunities to get your life together. Opportunities to clean things up a bit, give life to some good meal prep ideas, and bring out your planner to schedule the week ahead. It’s a clean slate for you to refocus your energy and to start becoming your best self. And by that, I 100 percent mean getting back to your healthy routines if you’re like me and have swan dived off the boat for the weekend (four outfit crises, nine episodes of Suits, and six margs later). Whatever mess I got into on Friday and Saturday doesn’t count, right?
There’s no better way to ring in a new week than to whip up some pre-prepped meals that, for lack of a better term, don’t suck. You know, the one-in-a-million meal prep ideas that you actually look forward to at dinnertime and the ones that make you want to take your lunch break as soon as possible at 11 a.m. If you’re ready to take your meal prep game to the next level, there’s no better place to start than these 20 prep-ahead recipes that will set you up for success this week and beyond:
