Healthy Eating Series: Meal Prep Ideas for a Gluten-Free Diet

Are you giving gluten-free a try? It’s a great way to get some healthy meals into your diet rotation, even if you don’t need to avoid gluten like some folks. Read on for some great meal prep ideas for a gluten-free diet:

 

Chickpea Quinoa Salad

This Moroccan chickpea quinoa salad isn’t just delicious. It’s gluten-free. And it couldn’t be easier to prep in advance and stash in the refrigerator to warm up later (actually, it would be great cold, too!). With healthy ingredients like quinoa, chickpeas, sliced almonds, onion, and delicious Moroccan spices, it won’t disappoint in the flavor department, either.

Cashew Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

For a gluten-free variation on a classic Asian dish, try the Cashew Chicken Sheet Pan dinner. All you have to do is cook up some chicken and your favorite vegetables in the oven, and use gluten-free ingredients for a tasty sauce. What’s even better is that you can easily divide the dish into smaller containers for meals on the go later in the week.

Breakfast Parfaits

If you can find gluten-free granola, creating a breakfast parfait in advance is a fantastic choice for a healthy, delicious, gluten-free meal. Layer some Greek yogurt and raspberry jam over your gluten-free granola in a jar or small container, and you have the perfect parfait for your morning routine. Or, pack it for a healthy mid-morning or afternoon snack.

Gluten-Free Manicotti

Who doesn’t love a comforting pasta dish? If you can find gluten-free manicotti shells, or make your own using gluten-free flour, you’re all set. Follow this Homemade Manicotti recipe to see how easy it is. Plus, the finished product couldn’t be easier to divide up into containers and save for later. It’s a great meal-prep option for the whole family, and it’s gluten-free to boot.

Baked Salmon

If you’re a fish fan, baked salmon recipes are a great option for a delicious, gluten-free lunch or dinner. Of course, salmon is one of the healthiest fish options out there, too. Use this baked salmon recipe as a guide — it includes delicious ingredients like Brussels sprouts, fresh basil, garlic, and lemon. Since salmon refrigerates and heats up well, it’s the perfect idea for a meal-prep option, too.

Try Gluten-Free Meals and See How You Feel

As gluten-free eating becomes more and more popular, give a few of these options a try. We’re betting you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy, convenient, and tasty they really are.
