Do you take time to meal prep on the weekend? For a few weeks now I’ve been spending an hour or two on Sunday (sometimes Monday) to prep a few foods that my family can then eat during the week. I focus on make ahead recipes and simple things, like prepping fruits and vegetables.

A weekly food prep session is a bit of a time investment on the day that you do the prepping, but it saves time throughout the week. It also helps you to eat healthier, since you have nutritious foods ready to go when you need them.

I usually focus some of my meal prep efforts on breakfast, because it’s so important to start the day with a nourishing meal. Overnight oats are one of my favorite make ahead breakfasts because they take so little time to make! Most often I make my favorite easy overnight oats, but I make these almond butter overnight oats all the time, too.

These Chia Almond Butter Overnight Oats have the best flavor, thanks to maple syrup, vanilla and almond butter. Milk, Greek yogurt and chia seeds make these hearty oats extra creamy and delicious.

These protein-packed Chia Almond Butter Overnight Oats will keep you full until lunchtime! My other favorite protein-rich overnight oats are these Strawberry Overnight Oats. If you haven’t tried them yet, they’re a great make ahead option and can be made with frozen blueberries or raspberries year-round.

You can make a single batch of these Chia Almond Butter Overnight Oats the night before you want to eat them, or make a big batch on Sunday to eat for breakfast for the next few days. The oatmeal will last in your refrigerator for three days.
