Meal prepping is no joke – you’ve got to consider how many days you’ll be prepping for, schedule a big grocery run, and set aside time to do the actual meal prepping. While it sounds like a lot of work up front, it actually makes it so that you have less work to do during weekdays – at least, when it comes to cooking your own meals. And not only that: by making your own baon, you’re in control of how much you’re spending on food, as well as what and how much you’re eating. It’s an efficient way to consume mindful, hearty meals, and that’s why we’ve put together a list of recipes that are perfect for meal prepping: they’re delicious, hearty, easy to make, and they keep well enough in the refrigerator to be made ahead of time.
