    How to meal prep

  • Quinoa: Cook a batch of quinoa at the start of the week and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for easy assembly in the mornings.
  • Bananas and Pecans: You can slice bananas and measure out pecans the night before. Store the bananas in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
  • Chicken Sausage: Pre-cook chicken sausages and store them in the refrigerator. Simply reheat a link in the morning to save time.
