Set Your Pace

  • If you’re a beginner at meal prep: Be prepared to set aside 2-3 hours. Once mise en place is complete, all of these recipes can be completed one by one.
  • If you’re a meal prep pro, use the sequenced steps below: These steps give you the flexibility to cook items simultaneously in a sequence of events.
  • Be sure to set timers and check on food items to avoid overcooking. Sequencing will save you time and meal prep can be done in 1-2 hours.

Meal Prep Run Down

  1. Preheat the oven and start preparing the items that require the oven such as the baked oats and baked potato.
  2. Next, prepare the beef in the instant pot beef.
  3. Then, boil the chicken breasts.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the peanut chicken celery stir fry.
  5. Afterward, cook the fried eggs and apple and sausage hash.
  6. Once the chicken breasts have cooked, let them cool before shredding them. After they cool, mix together the chicken salad ingredients.
  7. Finally, remove the beef from the instant pot and carefully shred it with a fork.
  8. When everything is finished cooking, plate everything up in containers, and let them cool before refrigerating.

If you’re sequencing your meal prep, be sure to keep an eye on everything! Make sure food is kept refrigerated under 40F degrees until ready to eat.
