I additionally prefer to name this part “Meal Prep for Individuals Who Don’t Like Consuming The Similar Factor Each Day.”

Right here’s the way it works:

In every plan, we’ve developed 3 dinner recipes that share a grocery record. You could find the grocery record and recipe overview on the primary web page of every plan (see above).

You’ll do many of the cooking on day 1 in order that your prep might be streamlined on days 2 and three. Leftover elements from day 1 circulate into days 2 and three, however they remodel into a very totally different recipe every time. You’ll by no means should eat the identical factor twice!

For instance, the Zucchini 3-in-1 begins with Farro Stuffed Zucchini. Two elements carry over to days 2 and three:

1. Zucchini flesh that you simply scoop out of the zucchini boats with a purpose to stuff them
2. Whipped feta (there’s a vegan choice too)

On day 2, you mix the leftover zucchini flesh right into a sauce for this creamy Zucchini Lemon Pasta.

And on day 3, you slather the whipped feta onto Grilled Zucchini Flatbreads. With the whipped feta already prepped, they arrive collectively in minutes!

Observe that you simply’re additionally reusing recent substances from day 1 all through days 2 and three. It is best to have little or no produce left over on the finish of the plan. Waste not, need not!
