After many weeks of feeling like I was cobbling together meal ideas at the last minute, I finally took time this week to do some meal prep. This included some actual meals as well as snacks for my family. Here’s what I made for this week’s meal prep!
This Week’s Meal Prep: Enchiladas, Energy Bites, and More!
Meal prep looks different for every family, because we all have different schedules and different nutritional goals and different budgets. Here’s what went into my decision on what to meal prep this week.
- a meal or two for my family to eat while I am out of town this weekend
- snacks
- something to use up very ripe bananas
- a protein-heavy lunch option for me and my husband
With those goals in mind, I settled on the following list of things to prep:
- Turkey Lasagna Casserole
- Banana Yogurt Cake
- Energy Bites
- Chicken Enchiladas
- Shredded chicken for future meals
- Ground turkey for future meals
Note: I did tweak a few recipes and I’ll share as I go!
One important part of meal prep if you want to be efficient is doing things in an order that maximizes time! I started by getting the banana yogurt cake mixed up.
I doubled the recipe because I had so many ripe bananas!
While I was mixing up the cake, I also went ahead and started browning some ground turkey.

You’ve got two more weeks to get a one-year Sam’s Club membership for just $25! At the new regular price of $60 (previously $50), that’s 58% off!
Believe me when I say a membership is worth it! In my area the Sam’s gas station is always 10-15¢ less than any other station. At a tank of gas a week it doesn’t take long for a $25 membership to pay for itself!!
I’ve also found lots of other ways to save this year with our membership. One big new way for us was finding discounts on local attractions and saving on a recent trip to the World of Coke Museum.
What Does the Membership Get:
- Automatic savings on gas at Sam’s locations (our location has the cheapest gas in town)
- Hundreds of Instant-Savings deals every month on things you need.
