For three of the below recipes, we use a delicious method to cook pork tenderloins and then use the meat in sandwiches, chili, and salads that everyone will love.  We also whip up a batch of quinoa, sautè ground turkey and prep some veggies for a couple other super yummy recipes.

Plus, these meals span the cuisine globe so you don’t get sick of anything! Oh and did we mention that this will only take you a max of 2 hours of prep time in the kitchen. Yes, please! Ready for your meal prep Sunday?? Well, without further ado, here is your Sunday prep list for healthy meals all week long!

SUNDAY

• Make 2 pork tenderloins in the slow cooker according to this recipe
• Make 1 cup quinoa according to package directions (yields about 3 cups cooked)
• Sautè 1 pound ground turkey with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until cooked through.

A couple things to keep in mind when it comes to meal prep:

• Cooked meat typically lasts about 3-4 days in the fridge. You’ll see we chose a vegetarian meal on Friday for this reason.

MONDAY

Mondays are hard.

Come home feeling awesome about that fact that dinner is already ready! Simply warm up your pulled pork from yesterday and serve on buns. The pork is so tender and tasty and we think coleslaw makes the perfect side.

This twist on your classic chili is made with tomatillos and your leftover shredded pork. Tomatillos have a zesty, bright taste giving the chili that beautiful green color and rich creamy texture.

We always serve this chili with our fresh Guacamole recipe and baked pita chips. We promise this easy chili is a crowd-pleaser, and even kids will be begging for seconds.
