Embarking on a meal prep journey can feel daunting for beginners, but it doesn't have to be. Here are 30 easy healthy meal prep ideas that will fit seamlessly into your busy schedule, helping you eat well without the stress.

Start your week with colourful salads packed with seasonal vegetables and your choice of protein, such as grilled chicken or chickpeas. For breakfast, overnight oats are a fantastic option—simply combine rolled oats with your favourite milk, chia seeds, and toppings like berries or nuts.

Consider batch-cooking whole grains like quinoa or brown rice to use as a base for nourishing bowls, complemented by roasted vegetables and a drizzle of tahini or salsa. For snacks, whip up a large batch of hummus and pair it with carrot and cucumber sticks.

Don’t forget about soups and stews; they freeze well and can be made in big batches. A hearty lentil soup or vegetable stew can provide warmth and comfort throughout the week. By dedicating just a few hours on a Sunday to meal prep, you can ensure a week of healthy, delicious meals that will keep you satisfied and energised.
