Make-Ahead Recipes for Easy Meal Prep


Hi Reader,

When it comes to meal prep, it helps to have a few secret-weapon-recipes in your back pocket. Our favorite make-ahead recipes tend to be "building blocks": Individual components that fit well into a variety of dishes so you can reuse them all week long.

These recipes also freeze so well: Make a double (or triple!) batch and store the extras in the freezer until you need them.


Meal Prep Recipes

Meal Prep Turkey Meatballs

I make a batch of these meatballs every month; they pair well with a bunch of sauces. This recipe uses 3lbs of turkey - enough for several meals.


Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

This bright, tangy sauce is endlessly customizable: Add avocado, jalapeΓ±o, or any extra herbs and greens you have lying around!


Toasted Garlic Breadcrumbs

Crispy bread crumbs add texture to salads, pasta, and more. This recipe takes 5 minutes and keeps on the counter all week long.


Parmesan Broth

Save your leftover parmesan rinds and turn them into this delicate, delicious broth. Perfect for pastas, soups, and sauces!


Shredded Chicken

This easy pulled chicken is great in salads, tacos, and more! Bake your favorite cut of chicken in a Dutch oven, shred it up, and store in the fridge.


Cauliflower Cream Sauce

This dairy free sauce is a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. Use it instead of milk or cream in your favorite pasta sauces and soups!
