Single Serve Meal Prep Recipes

I have always been team meal prep. I was a teacher for 1o years and I can’t think of very many times I went to work without my lunch packed. Prepping some or all of your meals will save you money, time, and a whole lot of headache. I’ve got plenty of single serve meal prep ideas below to get you started. Utilize them for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. ​​​​​​​

The Stay Fit Mom Meal Prep Cookbook is here! Every recipe includes the macro breakdown and can be found in MyFitnessPal for easy logging! 40+ Meal Prep recipes to get you through 5 days of meals!

I started sharing more meal prep videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels in 2020 and they have been a huge hit. Let me quickly answer the most common questions I get about my meal prep recipes:

• Do you eat these meals for 5 days in a row? Is it safe? Yes. I prefer to make 5 meals on Sunday to last me the work week, Monday through Friday. Keep your prepared meals in an airtight container and you have nothing to worry about.
• Can you really eat the same thing 5 days in a row without getting sick of it? Yes. If you’re making delicious meals you enjoy, you won’t get sick of them. If you’re tracking your macros and have goals, consistency makes it a whole lot easier. Another option is to prep multiple meals and mix and match. Freeze extras for the following week.
• Can I freeze extra meals? Absolutely. I freeze any and everything. If freezing a meal with pasta, just make sure to defrost it slowly and don’t stir until it’s warmed up or you’ll have mashed up noodles.
• Where do you get your plastic meal prep containers? I like these reusable plastic containers because they stack well and hold up for several months at a time.
• Where do you get your glass containers? I typically find mine for a bargain ($4.99 – $7.99 each) at Ross, TJ Max, or Home Goods. You won’t always find 5 matching containers though. If you prefer to have matching ones, you can get them on Amazon. I have these by Anchor.
• Are the glass containers oven safe? Make sure the ones you pick say so on the label. Most the ones I see at the store are. Just make sure if you ever freeze your containers you let them defrost a few hours before you throw them in the microwave.
• Where did you get the veggie chopper? It’s from Amazon and you’ll find it right here. It’s one of my favorite ways to save time when prepping food.

• Are the macros in MyFitnessPal? Yes. Just like all my other recipes, you’ll find them by searching the food database for, “Stay Fit Mom” followed by the recipe name. Example: “Stay Fit Mom Single Serve Enchiladas” or “Stay Fit Mom Mini Meatloaf.”
• Do you have a single serve meal prep cookbook? Not yet. I’ll let you in on a secret though: Most my single serve meal prep ideas are recipes right from my cookbooks.
