12 Amazing Meals Prepped in One Day For The Rest Of The Week

Meal prepping saves money and ensures you eat healthy, homemade meals throughout the week instead of resorting to drive-thru. Over the past few years I have created six delicious recipes for Litehouse that you can easily meal prep in one day. Everyone pinned, shared and commented on those like crazy! We decided to make three more meal prep recipes that you can add to the list. You can pick and choose from below what recipes you’d like to make for the week.
• Lemon-Lime Cilantro Chicken on a spinach salad
• Cilantro Chicken over rice (or mashed cauliflower) with roasted sweet potatoes and balsamic mixed vegetables.
• Italian Turkey Burgers over mashed cauliflower with black beans and orange and soy glazed green beans.
• Sweet Potato and Quinoa Patties
• Lemon Ginger Chicken over Brown Rice and Sautéed Greens
• Chicken Avocado and Chickpea Wrap
• Balsamic Chicken with Quinoa, roasted rainbow carrots and feta.
• Cajun Steak with roasted sweet potatoes, peppers and jalapeños.
• Feta Dill Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps
These three new recipes: balsamic chicken, cajun steak and feta dill tuna can be done start to finish in less than a few hours. To make prep time go smoothly you can break them into three steps: initial prep, roasting, and pan frying. Don’t let cooking three meals at once overwhelm you!
