Easy Meal Prepping Recipes for Breakfast

Fruit

If you want SUPER easy, just cut some fruit! Pair your fruit with some protein and this would be a great breakfast! Even easier, put some into a Tupperware that you can easily grab when you want to eat.

These are my favorite meal prep containers!

Overnight Oats

This are my FAVORITE breakfast right now! SO easy to prep and seriously so yummy!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Rolled oats
Milk (any type – I use oat milk or almond milk) – you want to use enough milk to cover the oats but not make it too soupy
1 tsp Maple syrup
Optional – cinnamon
Toppings – this really depends on what you like! My fav are berries or apples. I like to add sliced almonds too! You could add banana, other types of fruit, nut butters, get creative!

Recipe:

Mix everything together and put it in the fridge to enjoy the next day (or the rest of the week!)

Meal Prepping for Dinner

Personally, I don’t meal prep my dinners. I have a little more time in the evenings and really enjoy making dinners, plus I plan meals but like to mix and match depending on what I’m feeling like SO here are some easy meal prepping ideas for dinner.

I like to get an assortment of veggies and proteins to keep in my fridge for dinners for the week. Then each night, I pick a veggie or two and a protein to go with it.

Some of my favorites:

Brussel sprouts and air-fried chicken
Artichoke and steak
Broccoli and salmon
Air-fried cauliflower with a ground turkey tomato sauce
Spaghetti squash with shrimp

I also keep stuff in the fridge to whip up an easy salad as a good side dish for dinner.
