3. Adult Lunchables

@nourishedbynic ADULT LUNCHABLES are the best lunch and you can’t convince me otherwise!! As a dietitian having meal prepped easy lunches like these adult lunchables (or snack plate lunch) are a great way to make sure youre nourishing your body!! #easyrecipe #adultlunchables #mealprep #dietitian #lunchideas #worklunch ♬ Music Sounds Better with You - NEIL FRANCES

Call them "girl dinners," snack plates, or adult Lunchables, but the idea is the same. The most cooking you have to do for this nutritionist-approved meal prep idea from @nourishedbynic is boiling an egg.

Dpending on the thickness of the steak, cook 4 mins each side then repeat 2 mins each side - For easy reheating I would store the lettuce, salsa, sweetcorn, beans and avocado sauce seperately then add to the bowl when ready to eat - You can make the salsa and avocado sauce in advance and store in the fridge for a few days for future use . . . . . #chipotle #burritobowl #steak #beef #mealprep #beefsteak #healthyrecipes #highprotein #lowcalorie #lowcaloriemeals #easyrecipes #healthymeals #weightloss #fatloss #foodie #gymfood #fitness #mexicanfood ♬ original sound - Jalalsamfit

5. Hashbrown Bowl Meal Prep

@teachertastes

Hashbrown Bowl Meal Prep This recipe is so easy and it’s like having your own little egg casserole each day. Use class containers so you can cook it in the container. *i used 28 oz glass containers that are linked in my meal prep highlight* For four breakfasts: -10 eggs (you can add more if you’d like) -4 cups frozen shredded hash browns -1/2 cup cheese or choice -8 mini precooked chicken breakfast sausages -salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes -fresh chives -optional: add a diced red pepper or a veggie of choice 1. Preheat oven to 350 2. Whisk together eggs with seasoning until well combined 3. Spray each individual glass container with avocado oil spray 4. Add 1 cup Hashbrowns to the bottom of each glass 5. Cut up chicken sausage and divide between four bowls (I sautéed mine for a little before to brown it but since they are precooked you can skip this step) 6. Divide eggs into four containers by pouring them over the Hashbrowns 7. Top with shredded cheese 8. Bake for 35 mins 9. After baking top with fresh chives 10. Enjoy for 4 days in fridge or freeze
