Simple meal prep ideas?

maybe try some easy slow cooker meals? if you are a red meat eater, i used to make pot roast for my ex. with potatoes and carrots. they take a long time to cook though but are usually pretty simple. nice for making a lot at once.

You can do a pork roast in the slow cooker as well. I like sauerkraut but you can just do vegetables. It would make a lot of meals for one person.

Try this....

6oz tuna, 1 tbsp light mayo, .5 tbsp relish(or cut up pickles), hard boiled egg, 30g celery, 4oz cucumber with peel. slice up celery and cucumber. mix tuna, mayo,relish and cut up egg and the celery. Season the mixture if you like. Then place the mixture on top of cucumbers and eat. <--- can be made ahead even. Also, don't have to cut up cucumbers or celery. Could use them as dipping sticks for the meat.

Tortilla plus scrambled eggs

shrimp + half inch of water and a little butter and seasonings like garlic, oregano, herb medley. cook until pink and then a couple more minutes if you don't like shrimp to taste fishy. Add with steamed veggies, and if you have time put the steamed veggies into the broiler for a couple minutes for a grilled taste.

put shrimp in water and boil until pink + a couple minutes for no fishyness, immediately drain and run under cold water, then add a little cocktail sauce and a lemon squeeze.

turkey burgers like ones from costco are simple and easy to make.

if you have 15min, this one is pretty good...
1/4 cup pinto beans from can, .5 ounce of fat free ranch, tortilla triangle chips, 2 oz diced Tomatoes ( or canned diced tomatoes works) 5.5 oz shredded chicken ( i use canned chicken breast to shred) Add beans and chicken and a little bit of water just for keeping things moist into a pot on medium heat, warm it and then add ranch and tomatoes and add taco seasonings and cook until warm or simmer it a little more for the tomatoes to get mushy and create more liquid. They wont create much but just a little bit extra. Then, put on a plate and crunch up like 4 chips and add raw diced onion or shredded lettuce if you like.

There's my favorite go to quick meals. the ratio's are for my diet at the moment, feel free to adjust.

Hope that helps, I personally hate figuring out meals all the time and totally hate the fancy meal sites..things should be simple

Also, a really good cookbook to have is Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book. Lots of easy recipes and everything I've made from there has come out good. Common ingredients, nothing fancy. Your basic kitchen bible.

Easy recipe for slow cooker. I put a nice size pork roast on low for 6 to 8 hours depending on the size then I let it cool off and it will make an awesome pulled pork to put in rice with veggies or to eat in a wrap with my favorits veggies a little cheese. I cook my roast with no salt added I just add pepper to taste.

Hard boil 18 eggs as snacks to have on hand. Cook 2 lbs. ground turkey and two bags of those Bird's Eye protein blends (they literally go in the microwave, so easy). BAM. Meal prep made simple.

Make a big batch of your favorite tuna salad or chicken salad. Portion it into 5 containers. To each container, add celery sticks, carrot sticks, olives, and a couple of cubes of cheese. Store in fridge. Eat as is, or add crackers, or a wrap for variety.

I usually cook up an entire batch of meat at once, let cool slightly, toss into baggie(s) and refrigerate and/or freeze for later. Same with frozen bags of vegetables.

• Slice (if in whole roast form) and pan sear whatever you can fit in 1 or 2 skillets. Don't overcook. Cool and bag. (pork sirloin roasts slice up for some tasty pork chops and were on special for $2/lb last week at Aldi). Above also applies for fish.
• Frozen pre-cooked shrimp. (microwave for like 30 seconds and toss on top/to side of veggies).
• Throw whole pork roast or package of boneless/skinless chicken into crock pot/instapot/etc. Shred. Make chicken/pork salad (add mayo) or pulled pork/chicken (add BBQ sauce). Bag.
• Dump 1-2 bags of frozen veggies into skillet. When thawed, add some seasonings, drizzle some oil, cook a bit more. Cool a bit and bag.
• Chili/Soups/stew

When you're hungry, then just grab something out of a bag of meat and weigh onto plate, repeat with some vegetable, repeat with some filler carbs (if desired), and microwave (~2 minutes if from fridge rather than freezer). done.

Some ideas, also there are a lot of instagram ideas, if you want i will post them

My breakfast every day consists of:
1

Buy the premade salads, there is microwave brown rice and most grocery stores have rotisserie chicken. Take off the skin and cut it up. Ready to go.
