Cheap Meal Prep Ideas for a Healthy Lifestyle
Cheap Meal Prep Ideas: Keto “Oatmeal”
Cheap meal prep ideas don’t have to be expensive or complicated. One batch breakfast idea is overnight oats. However, traditional oatmeal can be high in carbs. Try our keto-friendly oatmeal recipe that uses chia seeds and hemp seeds to mimic the texture of oatmeal without the extra carbs.
This recipe allows for various add-ins like fruits, nuts, spices, and seeds to keep each portion interesting and flavorful. Check out the recipe for all the best add-in ideas to customize your keto “oatmeal.”
Cheap Meal Prep Ideas: Mediterranean Chicken Bowl
Another great meal prep idea is a Mediterranean chicken bowl. With just a few delicious ingredients like chicken breasts, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese, you can create a flavorful meal. Add some olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano for extra taste. Serve over greens with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Top your bowl with homemade tzatziki sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
- Prep the veggies and chicken in advance for quick assembly.
- Cook the chicken with olive oil and seasonings of your choice for a delicious taste.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked to 165 degrees for safe consumption without being overdone.
- Refrigerate the prepared meal for 2-3 days or freeze individual portions for later use.
Cheap Meal Prep Ideas: Chili
For an easy and budget-friendly meal prep option, try making a batch of triple meat chili in a crockpot. This recipe is perfect for refrigerating or freezing portions for later use.
Whether you need a breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert option, these cheap meal prep ideas have you covered. From keto-friendly “oatmeal” to Mediterranean chicken bowls, and frozen cookies, there’s something for everyone to enjoy while sticking to a healthy lifestyle.
Cheap Meal Prep Ideas: Frozen Cookies
