What are meal prep instructions? Why do some recipes have them and some don't?

Meal prep instructions allow you to prepare as much of your week’s recipes as you can ahead of time. These instructions are optional, but doing them can save a lot of time and stress during the week.


It's recommended to focus on the lunch meal prep first. Dinner meal prep can save you time each night if you want to do some prep ahead, but it's by no means required. Prep ahead as much or as little as you like!

Due to the freshness and quality of certain foods when stored in advance, some recipes do not have meal prep instructions because it would compromise their flavor or texture.
