Here are 10 healthy and delicious dinner meal prep recipes you can make in advance. Cook for an entire family in just a few hours per week.

Dinners are my favorite meals of the day because I consider them to be my moment of relaxation, unwinding and spending some time together with the loved ones, while also enjoying some delicious food! And my not-so-secret trick to transform dinners into relaxation is meal prepping! Meal prep is a very good idea if you want to save both time and money, as you will prepare large quantities of food during the weekend and then you will get to enjoy them over the course of a week, without having to struggle and wonder what to prepare for each and every day.

Many recipes can be transformed into meal prep dishes if you prepare them in larger quantities, but it is also important that the recipes are quick and delicious. There are some very versatile recipes that I recommend for meal prep, as you can easily change the ingredients or add a different sauce in order to spice things up from one day to another. This way you will never get bored with your meals!

And because I want to show you just how incredible meal prepping is, I put together a list with great vegan recipes that will make the perfect dinner meal prep! You will find here 10 of my favorite meal prep recipes that I frequently prepare for dinner. From risotto to the classical stews, ratatouille, casseroles and stuffed veggies, these recipes will provide just the inspiration you need for your next meal prep session!

Trust me, my textured soy protein “beef” will make you forget about meat in a second! Give it a try!
