Tips if you plan to meal prep these recipes:
A general rule of thumb for meal prep is that most meals are good in the fridge for about four days. They are typically safe to eat even longer than that, but they may start to lose some of their taste or structural integrity.
Depending on what type of meal it is, how long it lasts may vary, but all of the meals listed below are safe to meal prep! Having some great airtight containers to store your food in will help keep it in its prime for longer.
If you’re the type of person that doesn’t like the thought of leftovers (no judgement!) you can always learn how to repurpose your meals into something else! Not only does this incorporate some more diversity in your weekly meals, but it reduces your food waste!
