Happy Sunday, meal preppers! This week I’m changing things up a bit and showing off a few breakfast meal prep ideas, bento box style! Like any of my meal prep ideas/plans, you can customize the heck out of these boxes to make them work for your needs – add things you like, remove things you don’t, and adjust the serving sizes to meet your nutritional needs.
Most of these boxes have similar base recipes that you can build around to keep things interesting throughout the week. Or you can always just make 5 of the same bento boxes to eat all week! That’s what I usually do – it’s simple and it keeps my tummy happy to be consistent with breakfast. That said, you’ll have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the post to find the base recipes (look for the big muffin picture, that’s when you’ll know you’ve arrived). You’ll also find links to the containers I used and of course, the “recipes” for the boxes with nutrition info and scannable My Fitness Pal barcodes.
Cheers to the rest of the weekend!
