Meal prep ideas are one of my favorite recipes because I can easily have balanced meals throughout my days. Besides having healthy and nutritious meals, it saves time, reduces food waste, and helps with budgeting.
Usually, I do my meal prep for the week on Sunday evening and portion out the food. It works amazingly well, and my family always has delicious, nutritious meals ready to go. Most of the time, we use them as lunch meal prep, but when we are out all day, they are perfect as dinner meal prep too.
After experimenting for years with easy healthy meal prep and testing many easy meal prep ideas, I decided to gather my knowledge and share it here with you. All the recipes are beginner meal prep recipes, they are easy to make, and with them, you can enjoy wonderful and nutritious meals.
Kale Turkey Meatball Soup
Kale Turkey Meatball Soup is a flavorful soup recipe that will keep you full the whole day while being healthy, nutritious, and low calorie. I love it because it requires minimal prep time, and while the soup is simmering, you can catch up with your favorite show, talk with your family or friends, or work on your side hustle. I usually use the time to work on my blog, and I always set an alarm to remind me to stir the soup.

Baked Ziti
Baked Ziti is a wonderful comfort food that will make you excited for food. It is quite easy to make, and for me, one of the best meal prep pasta recipes. It will stay juicy and full of flavor, even when it is a few days old. It reminds me of lasagna, but it is much easier and quicker than lasagna, while the flavor and juiciness are there.
Greek Chicken Wraps
Greek Chicken Wraps are one of my husband’s favorite meal prep recipes. I was inspired by Greek flavors when I made this recipe the first time, and since then, it has become one of my regular meal prep recipes. Greek Chicken Wraps are easy to make, and they are very nutritious, low carb, and healthy.
Broccoli Risotto
Usually, you hear that risotto is best when eaten fresh, but somehow I find that this Broccoli risotto tastes great for a few days. Broccoli risotto is a vegetarian recipe, and not a usual risotto recipe because there is no wine in my risotto. All you need are a few ingredients, and creamy risotto is done. I love this risotto a lot because it tastes wonderful, creamy, and it is a nutritious meal while being comfort food after a long day.

Ground Beef Wraps
Ground Beef Wraps are one of the SOS and lifesaver recipes for the days when there is no time or energy for cooking. And we all have those days. I love this recipe because it is done really quick, and after the sauce is done, all you have to do is fill the flour tortillas and roll them. For me, this is one of the miracle meal prep recipes that I always make when I don’t have energy or time for cooking.
