Why Meal Prep Is Essential for Gluten-Free Living

    • Lunches (Prep Sunday + Wednesday)

  • •Mon-Tue: — Chicken rice bowls (grilled chicken + rice + roasted vegetables)
  • •Wed-Thu: — Mason jar salads (greens + quinoa + beans + dressing on side)
  • •Fri: — Leftover soup

    • Dinners

  • •Monday: — Sheet pan salmon + roasted sweet potatoes + broccoli
  • •Tuesday: — Slow cooker chicken chili (all naturally GF ingredients)

  • •Thursday: — Taco bowls (corn tortillas, seasoned ground beef, toppings)
  • •Friday: — GF pasta + homemade marinara + meatballs
