If you’re trying to eat better without spending hours in the kitchen, weekend meal prep is the move. But that doesn’t mean dry chicken and plain rice. By mixing in fresh ingredients from local farmers markets and flavor-packed sauces, you can build a week’s worth of meals that are actually worth looking forward to.
Here’s a simple 5-item meal prep plan using market finds from spots like Riley Park Farmers Market or Mount Pleasant Market—plus a few Sauce Pantry sachets that bring it all to life.
🥦 1. Roast a Tray of Market Veggies
– Zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, peppers
– Toss in oil, salt, roast at 425°F for 25–30 min
– Finish with a drizzle of Chimichurri Sauce after cooling
Get your produce from Cropthorne Farm or Klippers Organics—both regularly pop up at Vancouver markets.
🍗 2. Grill or Bake a Protein Base
– Chicken thighs, tofu cubes, or lentil patties
– Season neutrally so they work with any sauce
– Add Mango Habanero as a marinade or drizzle for bold, sweet heat
🍚 3. Cook a Grain for the Week
– Brown rice, quinoa, or couscous
– Store in a large container to mix and match meals
– Reheat and top with Pizzafy Sauce for a comforting tomato-forward meal
🌯 4. Prep Wrap Kits or Bowl Bases
– Lay out wraps with pre-chopped veggies and hummus
– Add roasted chickpeas, leftover veggies, and a swirl of Avocado Lime Ranch
– Build lunch in 30 seconds each day
🍳 5. Make Breakfast or Snack Packs
– Hard boiled eggs, cut fruit, or overnight oats
– Mix a little pesto into scrambled eggs for a savory start
– Add toast from Livia Bakery for an easy breakfast sandwich with a dollop of Pumpkin Seed Pesto
🥡 Final Tips for Smarter Meal Prep
– Keep it flexible: prep components, not full meals
– Use reusable jars to mix your sauces as needed
– Get 6 flavor sachets + 2 glass jars in our Starter Pack
– Everything is shelf-stable and fridge-free until you’re ready to shake and use
