NOTES FOR MEAL PREP:
This is a wonderful recipe for meal prepping.
You can store each serving in the fridge for up to 1 week and eat it as it fits your meal plan. Pop them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds to warm them up.
Or you can freeze them in freezer safe zip lock bags, remove all of the air and store for up to two months.
Tips for Re-heating after being frozen:
- You can go straight from the freezer to the microwave, taking them out of the ziplock bag, and cook for 60 – 90 seconds.
- Or pull them out the night before and store in the fridge to defrost overnight, then microwave for 30-45 seconds.
