Indian Breakfast Meal Prep

Hello My Friends. I am happy to share my weekly meal prep ideas with you all. First of all let me clear few things. I know that i would be getting mails and comments from many saying that meal prep is not healthy and you will be losing all the nutrients in the food when it is cooked and stored in advance.

Jump to:

I agree that meal prep is not the healthier choice for people who prefer their meals to be cooked fresh at that moment. But at the same time meal prep is a boon for all those women’s who struggle with work-life balance. They don’t have enough time on their hands to cook fresh meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

If you can find a little time on your weekends. Use it wisely to prepare your meals in advance for the entire week. It would save you tons of time throughout the week. Meal prep is way better than buying takeouts from restaurants

I am planning to share my weekly meal prep ideas with you all every week. On our first week, lets see how we can prepare 6 days of breakfast for the week.

Monday: Grilled Vegetable Sandwich

Meal Prep for Sandwich

1. Green Chutney
2. Slice and chop vegetables in advance
3. Whole Wheat Bread – Sliced and stored in a bread box in fridge

I like to chop up carrots, cabbage, capsicum thinly and store in a air tight container. You can slice some onions thinly and store in a air tight container.

How to Make Sandwich:

Take your bread slices, spread with green chutney on both sides. Top with sliced vegetables, sprinkle top with chaat masala, salt and pepper. Top with cheese. Cover with another bread slice. Grill in a sandwich maker or tawa.
