Best Meal Prep Recipes: Dinners

 A little bit of meal-prep goes a long way. Have dinner prepped and ready to go at the beginning of the week, so you can rest easy on weeknights. These are the Best Meal-Prep Dinner Recipes around!

It’s the end of August…which means a couple of really important things…

1. Lee is on an awesome Scandinavian adventure going on epic hikes and eating delicious food (yes, hi..it’s Linley here)!
2. It is almost FALL. 

Fall is my absolute FAVORITE season. Yes, I know I know…I’m not the only one. But, I have NO SHAME in declaring that I am excited for crunchy weather, cozy sweaters, and less SWEATING. I love the summer sun, but I would take a chilly sweater weather day…ANY DAY…over dripping sweat in the middle of the night ( I don’t have an air conditioner). WHEW. 

I am especially excited for some pretty EPIC things that Team Fit Foodie has planned over the next couple months. Lots of events, trips, and visitors. Yes, VISITORS! We are totally pumped to have The Healthy Maven (Ms.Davida Kugelmass) and her adorable new pup coming to hang out in the Fit Foodie kitchen in September! Not that we will get much work done while an adorable Golden Doodle is starring at us with his sweet, SWEET puppy eyes, but we will try. When Davida is in town we laugh until we cry, we end up making some pretty amazing food, taking stellar photos, and drinking LOTS and LOTS of coffee and wine. We have a pretty decent time together. #FitFoodieMaven

We also have a SUPER fun event on September 21st at the MALL OF AMERICA (is it sad that I still get SUPER excited to go to MOA to ride roller coasters?). We have partnered with Verizon Wireless and Nourish Move Love to bring you a FREE Yoga Sculpt Circuit Workout, AMAZING giveaways, and tasty snacks at the Verizon Wireless Destination Store at the Mall of America. Come walk the halls of MOA, ride a couple coasters, and then workout with us! It doesn’t get much better than that.

Check out our Moto Z Yoga Sculpt Event on Facebook for more details, people! 

See, the beginning of fall already sounds awesome…and that’s just September. Busy right?! WOOP. You know what really comes in handy during those first really BUSY months in the fall? MEAL-PREP DINNER RECIPES.

Along with all of the wonderful things about fall, I have to admit..it does get a little bit busy while everyone is getting back into their groove after the chillax vibes that come from the summer sun. Right? School is starting, you’re getting back in the groove at work, and SCANDAL is finally starting up on t.v. again (YAAAAAAAAAAAS). You don’t want to think about making dinner every night when you get home from work, at least I don’t. I love having meals prepped and ready to go in the fridge. Ideally, Team Fit Foodie meal-preps dinners on Sunday so we have healthy dinner options ready all week long. It ROCKS. 

So, here are some of the BEST Meal Prep Dinners around by some of the coolest bloggers around. Enjoy the summer sun while it lasts and get excited for those comfy sweaters that are right around the corner.
