Fall meal prep recipes are literally my favorite for a few different reasons. One, they can be done in a short period of time. Two, they are nice and warm so you feel satisfied. Lastly, they aren’t a salad. The only problem that I have will fall meal prep recipes is that usually they are LOADED with cals. When it comes to fat loss, that isn’t sure helpful. So, this post is going to give you three fall meal prep recipes that I make regularly. When I make these three recipes as my meal prep, it takes me less than 90 minutes. #winning
Chicken Sausage+Shrimp+Veggies+Rice
This first recipes is one that I make a couple different ways. The recipe listed below is the way I make this recipe for me. However, these fall meal prep recipes can be adapted for the whole family. When I make this one for my boyfriend, I just leave out the veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp
- 6 Mild Italian Chicken Sausages
- 1 Zucchini, Sliced
- 1 Summer Squash, Sliced
- 1 Bell Pepper, Chopped
- 1 Handful of Asparagus, Chopped
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- 3 Cups Cooked Minute Brown Rice
Directions
- Thaw and peel the shrimp. Chop the chicken sausage. Place the chicken and shrimp in a large bowl.
- Add the chopped veggies to the meat.
- Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the meat and veggie mixture.
- Combine until the veggies and the meat is well coated with the seasonings and olive oil.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the veggie and meat mixture to the skillet.
- Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are done to your liking, about 15 minutes.
- Divide the cooked rice evenly into 4 Tupperware containers.
- Place the cooked meat and veggie mixture on top of the rice. Divide the mixture as evenly as possible into the 4 containers.

4 Ingredient Turkey Chili + Spaghetti Squash
This one is seriously my favorite. I usually make it just about every week! It is great because it is high in fiber and has huge volume. Sometimes, I can’t even finish a serving because I am that full! All for under 400 cals per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 lb 93% ground turkey
- 1 packet chili seasoning
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 can black beans, low sodium
- 1 spaghetti squash
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Cut your spaghetti squash in half the long way (if this is really difficult, stick the spaghetti squash in the microwave for 5 minutes to soften it up). Place the squash cut side down on a cookie sheet. Bake in the oven until the squash rind feels bendy, about 45-50 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, cook the ground turkey on medium heat until all the pink is gone. Add the black beans, undrained, and the tomato paste. Stir. Then, add the chili seasoning.
- Turn the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Once the squash is done, remove from the oven and let cool. Once cool enough to handle, scrap the spaghetti squash evenly between 4 containers.
- Scoop the turkey chili on top of the squash in the containers. Split the chili evenly between the 4 containers.

This is for all you out there who live in a dorm, are extremely culinary challenged, or just plain hate cooking with a passion. This chicken burrito bowl is super satisfying and takes about 10 minutes to make. 10 minutes to make 4 meals! I don’t wanna hear a single excuse on this one. Try it out!
Ingredients

- Salsa
- Guac
- Sour Cream
- Low Fat or Fat Free Cheese
Directions
- Shred the rotisserie chicken. You will need about 16 ounces for this recipe.
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
- Separate the cooked rice into 4 Tupperware bowls. Then, add roughly 4 ounces of chicken to each. Split the can of corn evenly between the 4 bowls (should be around a 1/3 cup each). Then, split the drained can of beans evenly between the 4 containers (should be around a 1/3 cup each).
