It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper meal prep and I was wanting to spice things up. I’ve recently discovered buffalo sauce which is mighty tasty and also zero calories – win win. One my hacks to cooking awesome meal prep recipes is to include flavor, and these buffalo turkey burgers are just that. Spicy, full of flavor, while keeping my meal lean and high in protein. During November and December, I pretty much lived off of slow cooker chicken and rice because of how packed my schedule was. Now that I’m in a dieting phase, I want to switch up my recipes and have a variety to choose…

Ground Chicken, Sweet Potato, Black Bean Skillet
Last week I got back on my meal prep game and I went hard. I ended up making 12 meals that will last me over two work weeks because I tend to eat my meal preps for lunch at work and not so much for dinner. This ground chicken, sweet potato, black bean skillet is a revival of a recipe that I made last year when I first started IIFYM and I was experimenting with throwing together different whole foods to find new recipes. This year’s recipe is different because I’m now eating chicken so I instead of using Morningstar ground crumbles (which you can absolutely use if you’re a vegetarian…

Egg White Frittata Muffins
I recently subscribed to Simply Mander on YouTube and saw her prep these egg white frittatas for her breakfast, and I immediately went to my kitchen and made it for myself. Egg whites are my staple breakfast because they’re all protein and super versatile. Over the course of the week, however, I can grow pretty bored with just scrambled egg whites and this recipe adds a a fun flair! It’s also a great way to prep egg whites, which I really haven’t mastered quite yet. I made my version with beefless ground crumbles from Gardein, but ground chicken or lean breakfast sausage would be great with this recipe as well. Amanda used…

Meal Prep Sunday Tips and Recipes
Taking time out of your Sunday (or whatever day is your free day during the week) to prep your meals for the week is going to be the best way to keep you on track to hit your goals.

Prepping meals is also a great way to save money – if you already have meals at home or ready to take with you to work, you’re going to less likely to sway away from those meals and go out for lunch. Also, having a prepared lunch with you at work…
