It’s 6:00 pm, and you have nothing planned for dinner. Again. If you’re like many me, this happens more often than you care to admit!
Wanting to regain control of my health and eating habits, I turned to meal prep: the secret weapon that keeps everyone (from celebrities and athletes to busy parents and young professionals) on-track and eating well.
By taking the time to plan your meals, prep ingredients, and do some cooking ahead of time, it’s so easy to have perfectly portioned healthy options at your fingertips for any time of the day. And now you’ll have 115 meal prep recipes to choose from!
You’ll find inspiration for protein-packed breakfasts, energy-boosting snacks, and slimmed-down comfort food favorites—none of which sacrifice flavor. Who wouldn’t be enticed by a 205-calorie Breakfast Croissant Sandwich or an under-500-calorie Mason Jar Lasagna?
Here’s a sneak peak at some of my favorites in the book – from the Sweet Potato Nourish Bowls to the Meal Prep Chicken – 3 Ways and of course, the Mason Jar Lasagna, just to name a few!
Best of all, you can use use this printer-friendly meal prep menu and shopping list to help plan out for the week!
I actually came across this book by accident and LOVE IT!!! I was looking for a meal prep book so I could learn the basics and different recipes. I am used to all the comfort foods and not as much healthy foods. These came across as comfort and healthy. My portions may be smaller as I have had the gastric sleeve but I didn’t see one recipe not worth trying. Very excited to get started. Thank you so much for your time and efforts put into this book
That’s awesome! So glad you are giving it a try. We hope you’ll enjoy it! 🙂
I absolutely can’t wait to get started with this cookbook and meal prepping..
I just recently bought your book off Amazon. I am planning on using it religiously once I buy my food prep necessities. I’ve been going through the book trying to figure out what type of jars/containers you use. Could you provide a list of the kind of meal prep containers you used throughout your book? So far these are the ones I have figured out below:
– Lunchbots, Wide-Mouth Mason Jars 16 oz & 32 oz, Weck jars (but I am not sure what size?). I know there were plastic containers as well but I wasn’t sure which brand. You also wrote in the beginning about meal prep and purchasing glass containers, which brand do you feel has worked the best?
I am looking forward to your response
Thank you.
Hayley, I’m so glad you purchased my book! 🙂
So all the meal prep containers for the book were purchased via Amazon. They have a wide variety of glass and plastic containers available. In all honesty, I do not have a preferred brand or container over another – although some are certainly prettier than others like the Weck Jars. I should also mention that some jars for the book were used primarily for aesthetic reasons while others were used for practical reasons. It is best to find what works best for you and your needs as well as your budget.
Hope that helps!
This is very practical and yummy!
Hi Chungah,
I am ordering this cookbook right now! I checked it out from my local library and just finished reading through it. I wanted to make sure I would use it and I absolutely will. Too often I’ve ordered a cookbook online and have been disappointed. There are sooo many awesome recipes to choose from. I know there are tons of meal prep recipes online, but I’ll be sticking with this cookbook for the foreseeable future.
I ordered some meal prep containers, I’m ordering the cookbook, and I can hardly wait to get started!
Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow, Cindy. That’s awesome. Thanks so much for sharing! We hope you’ll have so much fun using it! 🙂
I started pinning your recipes about four years ago. They helped me to stay on track of healthy eating while not compromising taste. I lost over 100 lbs! That’s right. So many of your recipes helped me get there. Even my four young adult kids, all very healthy eaters and very fit started using your recipes. I’m so excited for this cookbook. I’ve gained a few lbs back and I know meal prep is the way to go. I’m so excited!!!
Wow, Kristie! That’s truly amazing. We are so happy Chungah’s recipes helped you, but you did this! Way to go!
Love the book, it came today from Amazon, just a heads up that the cover was on upside down and backwards, was that intentional? I can’t wait to read it the pictures are truly lovely.
Oh no! It was definitely not intentional. Amazon has a great return policy and they should be able to send a correct replacement ASAP. Sorry about that!
No need for you to apologize, I am about halfway through reading the cookbook and it’s fabulous. I am getting ready to start a weight loss adventure and this will really help me work through meal planning and watching my calories while still eating really good food. You have very creative ideas that are easy and fun and your food always taste amazing. Huge fan or your Korean Beef, it’s a staple at my house and I almost always have some stocked away in the freezer 🙂
So simple, so easy and so tasty. A treasure for the not so professional epucurian. I hate cooking, but who else will put the food on the table. Makes it a lot easier with yr simple recipes.
Excited about the new book. Looks like maybe there will be some whole food vegan type recipes?? I’ve followed you for about 5 years and now have gone WFPB eating. Would love to see what you can do.
Love your ideas Chungah.
