How To Meal Prep On The Mediterranean Diet

Preparing your ingredients like this, you will be able to build a variety of healthy meals throughout the week. This is great, especially if you’re like me and can’t eat the same thing for more than 2 days.

• Dips and Sauces: These seriously can make a meal so much more complete. Most dips keep so well in the fridge too! Two that come to mind when it comes to the Mediterranean diet are hummus and tzatziki. You can also make things like baba ganoush or red pepper sauce if you already have some roasted vegetables.
• Whole grains and pulses. Pre-cook some whole grains like quinoa, bulgur, rice, chickpeas, lentils and beans. Since I usually forget to soak and pre-cook beans and legumes (it takes a few hours), I used canned. My prep would consist in me, opening the can and getting the chickpeas (for example) well rinsed and drained. I also am aware that nobody in the Mediterranean countries uses quinoa, but it’s gluten free, nutritious and it cooks fast, so I’ve featured several meal prep Mediterranean diet quinoa recipes here.
• Fish and chicken. You can prepare these on the grill, stove, air fryer – wherever you desire. (mkay, it even rhymes!)
• Roast vegetables you like. I started doing this, this year and I simply love it. Roasted vegetables make dishes so much better, more flavorful and complete. And they are easy to store in the fridge. You can season them however you want, I’m sharing two recipes here.

Another way to prepare, if you really have no time to cook during the week is to wash and cut up the fresh vegetables that aren’t juicy (like tomatoes). Chop up some onions, cucumbers, cabbage, kale and thinly chop fresh herbs.
