Happy Meal Prep Monday! Have you avoided meal prepping because you don’t want to deal with all the pre prep work? I know I have. Some weeks, I just don’t have it in me to shred zucchini, cook chicken, and wait for brown rice to cook up. I have tested a few different products now, and have found the best, tastiest, easiest ingredients to cut corners and make meal prepping quick! Now, meal prepping is easier than ever! Make it with me!
Let’s start with the rice. This is the best rice because it’s already cooked and it’s frozen. You can buy it at Trader Joes in packs of 3! You’ll find it in the freezer section, in a green box. It’s so easy and simple to cook up. You simply poke some holes in the bag and microwave it on high for 3 minutes. Then it’s hot, steamy, and ready to eat! I LOVE IT!
Next up, is the package of vegetable stir fry. This is so awesome! I found it at Smith’s! It’s got all kinds of different vegetables prepped, sliced and ready to go! Everything from kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, carrots, snap peas and more! You just have to dump the whole bag into a pan with some olive oil and heat it up! It even comes with a yummy ginger sauce that you can add for an extra boost of flavor!
Lastly, for the chicken. There are so many ways to get your chicken. My personal favorite is the packaged rotisserie chicken sets from Costco. They are two whole rotisserie chicken’s, chunked up, skinned, and fully cooked and ready to go! You can also cook up some frozen chicken in the Instant Pot, 20 minutes and you’ll have a fully cooked breast. Learn how to use this method HERE. You could also use those precooked grilled chicken strips from Costco that you find in the refrigerator section. As a last resort, you can always use canned chicken! Some people hate it, I don’t seem to mind it!
