Some great recipes here for easy meal prep! This will definitely help plan a weekly schedule and prep for bust days.

"Easy Meal Prep" is a fantastic book, featuring colorful and attractive photos that create a positive "You Can Do It" attitude, making it feel achievable. It emphasizes that while meal prepping may take some practice, it's not hard. The book explains how incorporating meal prep into your weekly routine saves time and promotes healthy eating. I appreciated the variety of menus and recipes tailored for different dietary requirements, ensuring that they fit everyone's lifestyle. I tried two recipes from this book: the Apple Cinnamon Waffles and the Tropical Energy Balls. Both were easy to follow, and the results were excellent, earning praise from my family.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this book.

Part of my goal for the new year is to start doing more meal prep at home. I found this book to be full of a lot better f a lot of great information and even more tasty sounding recipes! I like that the recipes are healthy, simple, and straight forward! Plus there are photos to go along with recipes! I can’t wait to start cooking!

This wonderful collection of over 75 recipes aligns the near-impossible - enabling us to eat healthily while still leading busy lives! With people becoming increasingly aware of the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods, this is a book I recommend to anyone with an interest in cooking or health - I would urge them invest in and embrace!
The books starts with an extensive introduction in which the author shares her tips for success in addition to meal plans and suggested foods to have on hand as basic useful ingredients.
The recipes follow and these are categorised into ‘breakfast’, ‘mains’, ‘snacks and sides’ and ‘dressings, dips and sauces’. Those with specific dietary requirements are well considered and accommoded in this book.
I was delighted to discover that measurements are provided for both metric and imperial conversions - very useful as making one’s own conversions can be a little onerous.
Recipes are photographed in all there glorious colours - even at a glance the healthfulness of this book is immediately apparent.
The recipes are appealing and varied - something for everyone and lots to stretch our repertoire of ‘go to recipes’! Lovely to see some sweet recipes featured, and after making the ‘chocolate granola’ I can absolutely testify to it passing my taste test - I am 100% sold on this delicious book!
My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

A great cookbook with lots of ideas for meal planning and prepping. A good resource for those who want to prepare meals quickly and efficiently

This is SO helpful!! I’m chronically ill/disabled but often have little spurts of energy where I try to meal prep, but it often doesn’t work very well. I’ll be using everything talked about in this guide easily. It gives so much information and so many tips that I hadn’t ever thought of

Easy Meal Prep: Save Time and Eat Healthy with over 75 Recipes is an OK cookbook. Actually, author Erin Romero doesn’t include that many prep hints and the advanced prep isn’t built into any of the recipes; she expects you to deduce the prep for yourself. That said, the recipes are OK.
For those really looking to learn how to prep ahead and save lots of time, Skinnytaste Meal Prep: Healthy Make-Ahead Meals and Freezer Recipes to Simplify Your Life: A Cookbook by Gina Homolka would be a better choice even if they’re not on a diet.
In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point in exchange for an honest review.

Full of great advice and tips to help get organised and plan meals in advance. There are many delicious and easy to make recipes in this book!

Well structured. Give you grocery lists, different meal plans like vegetarian or low carb, and then provides a plethora of recipes for each.
Definitely useful for anyone looking to meal plan but who gets easily overwhelmed or doesn't know where to start.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced digital copy.
I requested this book to review because I am desperate for guidance on easy and healthy meal prep for my workday lunches. Plus, the book cover is gorgeous and appealing.
Overall, it's well organized and designed, but I do wish it had more photos for the recipes. It's at 145 pages, so perhaps may add too many pages and additional costs.
This is a great introduction to someone new to meal prep, including those who may be wondering why they should meal prep and what it is.
I like her concept of mini-preps for those of us who don't want to eat the same thing five days in a
row.
I like her food prep princess-approved food list because it makes for easy shopping.
She includes four-day plans (breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner) for high-protein, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and low-carb.
I like the cooking instructions about what to start and when.
Once the recipes are listed, there are photos, and they are great photos. Each recipe includes the yield, prep time, and cook time, all of which I appreciate. Not all of the recipes contain a photo, sadly. I like photos - they inspire me to cook.
While I haven't tried any of the recipes, they all look appealing and several are similar to some things I do now.
The table of contents include
-The Five Steps to Meal-Prep Success (this isn't broken down in the table of contents and it should be, so I'm adding them)
--get containers
--grocery shop
--clean and cut
--cook
--portion and pack
-Food Prep Princess Approved Food List
-Five Meal-Prep Plans to Get You Started
-Breakfast
-Mains
-Snacks and Sides
-Dressings, Dips and Sauces
Honestly, I had no idea that there were meal prep books. I've been trying to figure it out on my own. After all, I grew up in a time when female students took home ec, and I grew up in a home where meals were cooked from scratch.
I like the simplicity and the "you can do this" vibe of the book.
This book is great for busy singles, couples, and families. It features, simple, healthy, and appealing meal prep ideas, including quick breakfast bites and smoothies.
Thank you, NetGalley and publisher for allowing me to review this book.

Easy Meal Prep focuses on healthy recipes that can be made in advance for the week. The cookbook provides some weekly outlines you can follow along with recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. There are a good variety of recipes for people's different diet needs. The recipes are healthy and very straightforward and easy to make.
Overall, I think it's a great cookbook for someone who might be wanting to eat healthy and getting into meal prepping but less experienced in the kitchen. Personally, the cookbook isn't one I would commonly grab for when cooking.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review

A wonderful easy cookbook. I think this is particularly good for anyone setting up their first kitchen, organizing their already disorganized space, beginner cooks or those looking to spend less time in the kitchen yet still want easy delicious healthy meals with little waste. Easy to follow steps all along the way, a variety of meals, multiple food and diet types accompanied by delicious looking photos. Made a few of the recipes and easy and delicious. Nothing over the top with respect to ingredients or steps to prepare and yet delicious outcomes. This would have been perfect for me when I moved into first apartment. Enjoyable easy meals and snacks throughout the day that are tasty and easy without taking a million hours.

This book started off great with a quick guide to the idea of meal prep. I especially enjoyed the shopping list for healthy foods to get started. Then the recipes offer options to get started on a meal prep for the week. It would be nice if in the recipes it gave flexibility (offering substitutes where possible so you can see the recipe more as a plan of attack using as many as possible of the ingredients you have). I like how this is laid out and the general theory. I'm going to get some containers that I need to get started!

I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. There are so many cookbooks out there, but this one is a time saver and also full of amazing recipes. It's just what me and my partner need. We are both creating healthy eating habits, plus he needs help getting a quick meal together, and this was perfect.
Thanks so much for sharing this gem with the world and I'll definitely be in the look out for your next book.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of “Easy Meal Prep: Save Time and Eat Healthy with over 75 Recipes” by Erin Romeo. All opinions are my own.
This cookbook is really stylish and aesthetically pleasing. The meal prep ideas are great and the recipes sound good.

These recipes aren’t groundbreaking, but they are solid and are presented in a way that’s easy to follow-exactly what I’m looking for when I look for a book like this. Will definitely be trying some of these in the new year!

I meal prep in the way that I often freeze leftovers so that I don't have to reheat them that same week. That said, I found some great recipes that I want to try - the Lemony Pasta Salad with Asparagus, Chocolate Quinoa Squares, and the Greek Yogurt Dips! I'd have loved to see nutrition info on the recipes.
Thanks to Rock Point Publishing and NetGalley for the review copy!

As a busy teacher, I was hoping to find some new recipes to try, and for most, they could probably find something. As a picky eater, I didn't find one new recipe to try. I would highly suggest others read it as they will probably find more luck than me!

This is perfect! Well laid out ideas for how to plan and prep your meals. Great recipes included to get you started. I definitely needed this book to kick start my meal prep.

Easy Meal Prep has A LOT of information in it to teach how, why, and when to meal prep. Although I am past the point of needing so much detail it was nice to see that there are resources as simple as what kind of basic food groups you need and a quick run down on macronutrients.
I LOVED the entire week meal prep plans?? WOW. I will be refrencing those later.
The only thing I wish I would have seen in this book is a caloric breakdown simply because of the emphasis on healthy eating and knowing the author made these recipes I think that would have been a nice touch. Even if it was placed at the end so it was not necessarily a focus on the recipes but a good resource.
I'm exicted to try new recipes and look forward to trying some of the snack recipes especially, that is always the hardest part of my meal plan for the week is wanting snacks but never having planned any so I can get derailed with that.
The cover design doesn't really speak to me but I apprecaite its staright forwadness and I can see how this would bring in readers who are interested in the topic already. The book also has a perfect release date of reaching people who are new to meal planning for the new year or ready to save money.
