One of my greatest nemesis is always meal prep. In theory, it sounds fantastic–cook one day, eat healthy all week. But the truth is, every time I try to prep for the week (usually on a Sunday) I can’t get it all done.
So I’ve been a work in progress. Tweaking and bending the ‘rules’ until I can find a meal prep schedule that works for me.
Since I’ve been Paleo I have started a new school year, which presents a whole set of problems challenges. Prepping became just plain overwhelming.
But now (a couple of weeks into the school year), I feel like I’m hitting my stride. Just like in the summer, it is becoming second nature.
Today I wanted to share with you some of my Paleo meal prep favorites that keep me feeling strong all week long! I’m definitely building up a repertoire of dishes with a high ROI (nutritious and delicious without taking too much time!)
Fritatta
Sweet Potatoes
Broccoli Salad
Homemade Mayo
Banana Coconut Cookies!
Some of these I researched and wrote about in my initial plan, so it’s nice to see how a plan can successfully unfold! And now that these are firmly set in my rotation, I can plan my next phase moving forward.
Every once in awhile, I do like to actually cook a meal. So I am super excited that Melissa Joulwan’s new book, Well Fed Weeknights: Complete Paleo Meals in 45 Minutes or Less* is on it’s way soon! I even might have a special little celebration right here! Don’t forget to sign up to get the updates! 😉

I started didn’t complete for a couple of reasons a whole 30…and I am sold…I had tried paleo before but seriously I can tell sooooo much difference in my bloating, my digestion, my workouts, my mindset….I love these ideas…I need to hear more about this book!!
I always try to meal prep a few things on Sunday but then also find myself doing a lot of it throughout the week too. I definitely haven’t mastered it yet. But I too also enjoy to cook a quick a meal during the week. I like the idea of making a frittata as meal prep!
The frittata has been my lifesaver so many times!
That broccoli salad looks so good! Love it!
I can’t make enough of it! So many flavors and I’ll throw in eggs or chicken for protein 💪🏻
I’ve never thought of roasting sweet potatoes like that. Do you just put some olive oil on top?
I’ve been roasted them face down in a bit of coconut oil in parchment paper, then sprinkle with sea salt when they come out 😍
OMG. Those banana cookies look AMAZING!
Thanks! I need to make another batch ASAP!
I like how you rate your meals with ROI, fun way to make choices in recipes! I really like your blog, just started following you on bloglovin’!
Thanks so much! I find ROI really important with meal prep, lol!
