The way I meal prep may have just changed for good when I discovered the concept of lego meals – which blew my mind. This is the perfect solution for families with different meal preferences or for those that like variety throughout the week but still want to meal plan. Also an amazing way to save money and reduce waste.
Basically you make components of the meals and freeze them in individual containers. You can then mix and match meal ingredients based on your preference. Once you are ready to eat, defrost in the microwave and add flavour enhancers like hummus, guacamole or additional herbs and spices.
If you want to meal prep like this, I recommend starting with 3-4 veggies, 2-3 proteins and 1-2 starches. Save this post to steal this meal prep strategy. Have you ever meal prepped liked this?
For this meal prep I made:
– Sweet potato chili bowls (one with rice and carrots, one with sweet potatoes and green beans)
– Teriyaki tofu bowls (teriyaki tofu with rice, peppers and broccoli)
– Lentil Bolognese pasta ( with peppers)
I used the following ingredients:
