Happy meal prepping! Now, back to unpacking for me…
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that this is incredibly helpful! My sister, mom, and I are all on a journey to lose weight and eat clean. So far, so good..but we're all struggling with the meal prep part. Thank you for your clear directions, recipes, pictures, and nutrition info. Also, I noticed a big difference between this meal prep post and an earlier one you did in January. I like this format so much more – it's a lot easier to figure out. Again, many thanks and have a great day!! 🙂 -Kate
Thanks Kate, I'm so glad you found it useful! And thanks for the feedback – hopefully I can manage to put new meal prep posts in this format 🙂
This is amazing!!Very glad I gound this 🙂
I love this! I haven't been meal prepping because I don't like plain old boring chicken and broccoli. I love the options and how flavorful it looks! I'm putting it together today! Thank you!
