Our meal prep reset plan has 16 make-ahead recipes. Every Sunday, you prep all four recipes for the week—a breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner—that you'll eat Monday through Thursday.

Read all about how the plan works here.

Week 1 Breakfast: Magic Low-Carb Waffles

Why do we call these "magic" waffles? Because they're basically just eggs, mashed bananas, and a little bit of whole-wheat or rice flour. Magic!

This one demands a little bit of prep: cooking quinoa, roasting sweet potatoes, and hard-boiling eggs, but then the rest is assembly.

Pro tip: Don't skip the everything bagel seasoning 😉

Mason jars come in serious handy when prepping lunch ahead for the week. We layered this pasta salad with roasted squash, baby spinach, rotisserie chicken, and Parm, but you can swap ingredients in and out as you choose.

We turn to the foil pack hack all the time, especially when trying to meal prep. You can bake them off all at once, then heat up again when it's time to eat.

Roast a batch of sweet potatoes on Sunday, fill 'em with turkey taco meat, and top with sour cream and avocado when you're ready to eat. The least sad desk lunch ever.
