Now, buckle up because I’m about to drop 15 meal prep ideas that’ll have you dancing in your kitchen:

1. Taco Tuesday, anyone? Prep your fillings and toppings in advance for a fiesta-worthy feast.

2. Buddha bowls: the ultimate combo of grains, veggies, and protein. Prep the components for easy assembly.

3. Mason jar salads – because everything tastes better in a jar, right?
