In my personal opinion, itโ€™s very hard to keep eating well when your life is crazy busy with lots of things going on.

I mean, when weโ€™re really busy at work because of an important project deadline, or when weโ€™re being a participative parent with our kidโ€™s activities (school, extra curriculum obligations, sports and so on), or even dealing with complicated personal stuff, the last thing that we think about is cooking good food to fuel our body and soul.

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m a huge fan of meal-prepping cause it helps me eat better even though I have no time at all to cook.

When you donโ€™t have time to cook, you usually just go with the most convenient option, and this option is normally junk, fast-food, takeout, or one of those frozen meals you can put in the microwave, which is full of additives and preservatives.

So, Iโ€™ve selected a list of 15 Easy Whole30 Meal-prep Recipes that will help you to make a better choice next time you have a crazy week or month ahead.

You can make these recipes in an hour on Sunday and have all your lunches and dinners ready to go during the week. And the best part is you will be sure to eat fresh foods that are good for your body and mind.

But before you go to check out all these 15 Easy Whole30 Meal-prep Recipes, make sure to use good quality meal-prep containers to store your food.

Containers that have leakproof lids to avoid spills, which are made with a good-quality glass to avoid breaking easily, that are safe to use in the microwave and that have freezer-safe tempered glassย too. Also, buy different size containers because it will help to stack them easily and take up less space.

Atย Amazon.comย you can find a huge variety of glass containers with different sizes and with or without compartments. Check them outย here.

    The link to the Slow Cooker Chicken and Sweet potato recipe is wrong, it takes you to Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs, which calls for honey, so not Whole30 compliant.
