"These three recipes are a great place to start if you've never done meal prep before. All you have to do is buy 11 main ingredients, process them all a bit differently, and you’ve got three, nicely varied meals for two. They make great lunches, but can flex as light dinners or even picnic snacks. It’s always important, but this time especially to read the entire recipe once from start to finish before you start. It might seem confusing at first, but that will go away as you read through and watch the video linked above. Meal prep always works on the same principle: First you cut and shape all the ingredients, cook them (in this version, there is no cooking!), and then you put everything into (compartmented) tupperware. If you are now motivated to learn more about the topic of meal prep and dive further, check out our articles on the topic by searching meal prep."
