Gluten Free Meal prep FAQ
How do I make these recipes gluten-free if they contain soy sauce or bread crumbs?
Some of these recipes contain soy sauce or bread crumbs. I suggest swapping with coconut aminos or tamari to convert them to 100% gluten-free recipes. Bread crumbs can be swapped for gluten-free bread crumbs.
I'm just getting started with meal prep, any tips?

What veggies work best for meal prep?

How long do meal prep meals last in the fridge?
Most ingredients will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you want to meal prep for the whole week, you can do a second meal prep session mid-week, or you can choose freezer-friendly meal prep meals. Check out these Freezer-Friendly Lunch Meal Prep Recipes for recipes that will keep longer!
Do I really have to eat the same thing four days in a row?
NO! Check out this post on 3 ways to add variety to your meal prep. Although I will say that the most efficient way to meal prep is to bulk prep the same meal.
