One-pan Cilantro Shrimp and Roasted Vegetables

“Meal prep” made easy

One of the best ways to stay consistent with healthy eating is to have healthy, homemade meals ready to go. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to spend half of your Sunday shopping, cooking and meal-prepping every week. By having a couple of simple, go-to weeknight meals that make plenty of leftovers, you can have healthy meals all week long without hours in the kitchen!

We love this One-pan Cilantro Shrimp and Roasted Vegetables recipe — it’s packed with vitamins and nutrients, requires only 10-minutes of prep time and is absolutely delicious! Use the leftovers for dinner for the next few nights, or grab some lunch containers, add greens and put a big scoop of this on top. Healthy lunches for the week in less than 30 seconds, can’t beat that!
