Buffet Style Meal Prep:

My favorite way to clean meal prep using the buffet style method. A lot of people will prep actual set meals that are usually the same thing for every day of the week. For me, I can’t eat the same thing every single day, so using the buffet style prep is perfect for building new meals throughout the week.

Buffet style prep is simply just prepping a few different protein, veggie, carb and fruit options. This type of prep makes building meals super simple and easy. Below is all the different items I have prepped for the week. Additionally, I will share all the different combination of meals you can get from this prep. It took me around an hour and a half and will make eating clean the whole week a breeze.

Taco Meatloaf Muffins

These little muffins are full of flavor and heat up so well. I will make a few batches at a time and even freeze a batch for later. This is one of my go-to protein options when I prep.

What to serve these muffins with:

• Brown Rice
• Side Salad
• Sweet Potato
• Green Beans
• Broccoli

Chopped Rotisserie Chicken

I always buy a couple of chickens from Sam’s Club on Sundays. I will chop them up and store in a container for easy grab and go meals throughout the week. Each chicken is only $5 so it’s not only a healthy option, but it is budget friendly.

What to serve these muffins with:

• Serve on on top of salads
• Top onto spaghetti squash along with marinara sauce
• Add to mixed veggies in a skillet along with coconut aminos for an easy stir fry meal.
• Mix this chicken together with eggs and veggies for a quick egg scrambled or even an omelet.

Buffalo Meatballs

These meatballs are FILLED with so much amazing flavor and also reheat super well. In addition to the meatloaf muffins, I will also make a few batches at a time and freeze. These make such an amazing lunch pr even eat a couple for a quick snack.

Garden Fresh Tomato and Cucumber Salad

This is one of my all time favorite prep salads. It is super easy and gets more flavor as it sits in the fridge. This pairs awesome with any protein and adds a crunch to your meals.

Chopped Zucchini

Washing and chopping veggies on Sunday makes cooking them throughout the week super easy. I love cleaning zucchini and chopping it so it’s ready to cook. I simply add to the microwave or in the skillet for an easy veggie side dish.

Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash always is such a pain to make. From cutting the squash to cooking it. I always like to add a big squash to the oven while I am prepping. It makes preparing fun meals easy through the week.

Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes

Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes are the absolute BEST! I simply chop 3 or 4 sweet potatoes in chunks and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. I add to a 400F Air Fryer for 10-12 minutes.

Fruit

Just as I do my veggies, I will prepare my fruit by cleaning them and having them ready to eat.
