21 Best Paleo + Whole30 Recipes for Meal Prep

Sharing is caring!

Whole 30

Not all Paleo and Whole30 recipes are created equal when it comes to meal prep!

As we wave summer goodbye and welcome back our busy schedules with work, school, etc, meal prepping on Sundays often becomes necessary just so we don’t starve during the week!  Especially if we want to eat real food that requires cooking, of course.

This is exactly why I decided to round up my favorite recipes that also happen to be perfect for meal prep – for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Some of these recipes require a lengthier prep-time, and some are super simple with just 5-10 mins to chop ingredients.  For some it makes more sense to make the whole thing from start to finish, just reheating once you’re ready to eat (hello breakfast casseroles!) and for others prepping most of it ahead of time works best.

For example, you can prepare the breakfast cauliflower fried rice the night before but stir fry (and fry your egg!) in the morning.  It’s all up to your preferences and schedule.

All of these meals are tasty, filling, free of added sugar, grains, dairy and legumes.   Most are also kid friendly, nut free, and many are egg-free as well for those dealing with food allergies.

Although I divided these recipes into Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner – there are no rules of course as to when you eat what!  Feel free to serve your breakfast casserole or quiche for dinner, sloppy Joe bowls for lunch or even breakfast if that suits you best.

I hope you find a few new favorites here to throw into your meal-prep rotation!  Now let’s get started with the roundup – enjoy 🙂

About Michele

More than a little into running and paleo recipes (yoga now too!) but I'm not here to rain on your grains (or anything else) so come along for the ride! I do a little too much of everything (except cleaning), and I enjoy laughing at myself. As long as I'm the one making the jokes, that is. Just kidding. So bring me your angst, your appetite and your frying pan and climb aboard!
