Sunday meal prep is honestly one of the best things I have done for my week. A couple of hours in the kitchen means lunches are sorted, dinners come together faster, and future me is so much less stressed. These are my favorite recipes for exactly that kind of cooking session, all easy to make in a big batch, all fridge friendly, and all still delicious a few days later.
Farro Bowls
One of my absolute favorite meal prep recipes right now. Cook the farro, chop the veggies, and store everything separately in the fridge. Then just pull it all together whenever you need a quick lunch or dinner. Full recipe: Farro Bowls
Curried Couscous Salad
This salad is basically made for meal prep. The flavors get even better as it sits in the fridge, so it tastes more delicious on day three than it did on day one. Make a big batch on Sunday and you have got a ready-to-eat lunch for most of the week. Full recipe: Curried Couscous Salad
Mediterranean Bowl
Fresh veggies, chickpeas, hummus, and a bright lemon dressing all stored separately in the fridge and assembled in minutes. Everything keeps beautifully for three to five days, which makes this one of the easiest and most satisfying meal prep lunches I know. Full recipe: Mediterranean Bowl
Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad
Make a big batch on Sunday and you have lunches sorted for days. Creamy, crunchy, sweet, and tangy all at once. Scoop it into wraps, pile it onto toast, or just eat it straight from the container. Full recipe: Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad
