Prep and Repurpose: How to meal prep and repurpose it throughout the week!

New series - prep & repurpose!! This week we prepped a handful of things and are going to show you how we are going to repurpose them throughout the week.
I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen over the weekend, but I do know how beneficial a little meal prep can be. It takes the guesswork out of mealtime during the week and helps set you up for a successful week.
What we prepped:
- roasted veggies (cauliflower, beets, & sweet potatoes)
- shredded chicken - eatthegains.com/how-to-make-e...
- oatmeal chocolate chip muffins - eatthegains.com/oatmeal-choco...
- white rice - eatthegains.com/instant-pot-r...
- overnight oats - eatthegains.com/coffee-overni... & eatthegains.com/apple-cinnamo...
Meals we made throughout the week:
We used roasted veggies in salads and at breakfast
We used shredded chicken in:
- chicken taco casserole - eatthegains.com/chicken-taco-...
- chicken & butternut squash soup - eatthegains.com/turkey-butter...
- chicken salad melts - eatthegains.com/paleo-buffalo...
We ate oatmeal chocolate chip muffins as snacks throughout the week
We added our white rice to breakfast, lunch, and dinner
We ate overnight oats as an easy breakfast

love this idea!! It does eliminate that "what are we having for dinner tonight?" issue, which drives me crazy when nothing is out of the freezer!!!
