4 Easy & Healthy Recipes to Meal Prep

I have come to realize that living a healthy life is all about finding the perfect balance and getting into a consistent routine that is not only manageable but enjoyable. Meal prepping might not be for everyone, but can be a great thing to try. I'm not a huge fan of leftovers myself, but do like meal prepping foods that are fresh and can last the longevity of the week. Below are 4 easy & healthy recipes to meal prep.

4 EASY & HEALTHY RECIPES TO MEAL PREP

PEANUT BUTTER CHIA SEED OVERNIGHT OATS

  • ¼ cup organic steel cut oats

  • 2 tbsp of whole chia seeds

  • ½ cup of almond mink (sweetened, flavored or unflavored – you pick)

  • A drizzle of honey

  • ½ a tbsp of syrup

  • dash of Cinnamon

  • 2 tbsp of peanut butter/almond butter (add right before digging in)

I like to line up the jars on the counter and add all the ingredients (listed above, minus the peanut butter) into mini mason jars. Once all the ingredients are in the jar, I stir the contents to make sure everything is well blended. Last, but not least, I seal the jars and place neatly in the refrigerator.

CRISP PB CAKE

  • 1 lightly salty rice cakes

  • 2 tbsp honey peanut butter

  • 1 honey crisp apple

This is my FAVORITE breakfast item, which I eat almost everyday. This is also probably the easiest breakfast / snack to make. Place a rice cake onto your plate, spread a generous layer of honey peanut butter on the cake and top it with thin slices of fresh honey crisp apples.

KUMATO BURRATA FRESH SALAD

  • 3-4 kumato tomatoes

  • burrata (measured to personal liking)

  • 2 tbsp of fig balsamic dressing (can be found at Trader Joes)

Cut the tomatoes right before you're ready to eat into slim slices. Crumble your desired amount of burrata on top and then drizzle the fig balsamic dressing over both ingredients and enjoy!

NO BAKE OAT BITES

  • 1 cup of rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup of almond butter

  • 1/3 cup of honey

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

  • 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix all together. Once batter is made, take a baking sheet and line it with wax paper. Use the batter to make small oatmeal balls and place neatly in rows of 4 (depending on the size of your tray). Place the tray in the refrigerator and let it set for 20 minutes. This is an easy and yummy recipe that you can munch on throughout the day or enjoy after dinner as healthy dessert pick me up.
