Meal prepping is one of my favorite things to do when preparing for the week. It gets my head in the game and my ducks in a yummy row. When you live life as fast as I do, having ready-to-go meal options is the best way to unsure you’ll be kicking on all cylinders…aka the only way I like to kick it!
Rubbermaid food storage containers (like these Easy Find Lids) make it easy to prep & store pre-prepped meals. The variety of sizes and shapes make it easy to perfectly portion breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.
Below are 2 savory breakfast recipes (whew! 2?!) that I’ve made recently and really enjoy. Not only do they support my sriracha obsession (a welcomed condiment on both) these recipes are also healthy, easy to make, vegetarian friendly and keep me going until lunch. So in the words of my students… boom shakalaka 🙂
