Achieve your goals with meal-prep with my top gluten-free meal-prep recipes. Meal-prepping doesn’t have to be boring or take tons of time. With the right recipes in your tool-kit, you can have a week full of healthy snacks and meals that taste good and only took you under an hour to make!

Before we dive in, let me give you a few quick tips for meal-prepping successfully!

  • Have a plan – or at least a general idea of what you want prepared ahead of time for the week. Bonus if you take in to account you weak points (for example, you tend to make unplanned stops at the vending machines towards the end of your work day)
  • Make use of your oven – when you turn on your oven throw in an extra bactch of veggies or protein. Be effecient and maximize your time by batching tasks with your appliances
  • Make use of those hefty appliances – I’ll mention this later on too, but when you get out that food processor you haven’t touched all month (or let’s be real all year), when you finally do get it out, use it! Make sure nothing goes unchopped (with in reason).

Alright, those are my quick tips and food for thought! On to the top gluten-free meal-prep recipes!

Simple Gluten-Free Granola Recipe - Tayler Silfverduk - Find out my secret to the best and easiest gluten-free granola recipe! #granola #simplegranola #diygranola #granolarecipe #glutenfreebreakfast #glutenfree #vegan #plantbased #celiacfriendly #coeliacfriendly #celiacfood #recipe #simple #oats #hemphearts

Granola

A quick and easy meal-prep staple that can elevate any smoothie, oatmeal, chia pudding, or even bowl of ice-cream. Not only that, but it can make a delicious grab-n-go snack too!

(Typically takes 30-45 minutes to make a batch, most of the time spent waiting for the granola to cook.)

So let’s talk about the elephant in the room, are oats really safe for people with celiac disease?

It depends on a few things:

  • If you’re sensitive to cross-reactive proteins
  • If you’re sensitive to gluten at levels less than 20ppm
  • What kind of cross-contamination the oats endure (are they just normal oats? Certified gluten-free? Purity Protocol Oats?

So are oats safe for people with Celiac? It depends on the individual. 

I have a simple oat based recipe posted here. 

But there are a bunch of amazing paleo and grain-free recipes out there to. Like this one!


Top Gluten-Free Meal-Prep Recipes for Lunch & Dinner

Colorful Sun Butter Coleslaw - Tayler Silfverduk DTR - #saladrecipe #coleslaw #vegancoleslaw #slawrecipe #saladbowl #coldsalad #sunbutter #tahinidressing #coleslaw #glutenfreesidedish #glutenfreethanksgiving #celiacthanksgiving #celiacsafethanksgiving #glutenfreerecipe #glutenfreeblogger #DTR #dietetics #silfverduk #rd2be #colorfulfood #colorfuldish

Slaw

(Typically takes 15-20 minutes to assemble)

Why you’re missing out if you don’t meal-prep slaw for the week:

  1. You’re missing out on the gift that just keeps giving (seriously, slaw just get’s tastier and tastier as it melds with the flavors of it’s dressing!)
  2. It makes delicious and nutritious snacking and munching the obvious choice
  3. It’s easy to make and helps your pack in fiber (something most American’s are lacking in).

What I love about slaw is that you can customize it to what ever your hearts desire (and or to the limitations of your fridge).

Additionally, there is room for so much creativity when it comes to dressing your slaw. From using gluten-free ranch, a classic mayo dressing, to my Sun Butter Dressed Rainbow Slaw. With limitless options on how to dress it up, you are sure to never get board.

PRO-TIP: Make your hefty appliances work for you.
For instance, when ever I bust out my beast of a food processor I make sure to process everything any anything that needs it. I’m talking slicing carrots, shredding cabbage, making energy bites…

Salad

(Typically 10-30 minutes to prep ahead of time)

I know what you are thinking, salad? Isn’t that the same thing as slaw? Yes and no.

When preparing a slaw ahead of time you can prepare the whole think without worrying too much about it getting soggy. When preparing salads you have to be smarter about it.

First, most greens won’t hold well when prepared in advanced. Water is not your friend and guess what has a lot in it? Lettuce.

All of the other fixings however can be prepared days in advanced, think chopped celery, peppers, and carrots.

Kale is a whole other story, I highly suggest you prepare kale ahead of time. Now there is a whole debate about whether or not you should massage your kale.

I’m here to tell you, MAKE LOVE TO THAT KALE. Massage it with olive oil and massage it good! It will make it the perfect soft and not to chewy texture for salads.

Here’s my favorite simple salad to make with Kale, but feel free to get creative with your salad prep!

Buddha Bowls

(Typically a 45-60 minutes to assemble necessary ingredients. A heft time investment but these ingredients can be reused in other dishes too, think salad toppings, side dishes etc.)

Buddha bowls are my favorite thing to eat any meal. Also known as Grain Bowls, these dishes are easily customizable to what you have on hand!

Buddha Bowl Basics:

  • Cook a grain for the base (think rice, quinoa, or gluten-free pasta)
  • Roast some vegetables for colorful nutritious toppings (think cabbage, sweet potato, squash, onion, broccoli)
  • Prepare a protein (think falafel, chicken, or this 10-minute chickpea tofu)
  • Prepare a sauce (think a simple tahini dressing, guacamole, hummus, or even a butternut squash dressing)

Storing Your Buddha Bowl:

You can either store each ingredient in separate containers for assembly on the day of (this also leaves for more room for customization and helps prevent you from getting bored of your meals) or you can portion and assemble everything ahead of time for easy grab-n-go lunches! I am known to do both!

Pasta Salad

(usually prepared in 20-30 minutes)

First let me say, if you’re gluten-free. you’ll want to use gluten-free pasta. Duh, right? My favorite gluten-free pasta (as you ca so clearly see in this picture) is Banza Chickpea Pasta. I don’t know why, but I love it.

Second, I love pasta salad. It’s a great way to add in some healthy carbs (in this case protein too because of the bean pasta) and vegetables.

Easy Pasta Salad Add-ins:

  • Olives
  • Chopped bell peppers
  • Chopped zucchini
  • Canned green beans (drained)
  • Chopped cauliflower/broccoli
  • Nutritional yeast (make sure it’s gluten-free)

And so much more.

Soup

Soup is by far one of my favorite things to prep. You can make it hot or cold, you can keep in the fridge for use during the week, or in the freezer for even more future use.

Pictured here is my Creamy Garlic Celery Soup, but really any soup (chunky or creamy) can easily be prepared for the weak!

Bonus: soup also helps you stay hydrated.

Fresh Fruit

They usually travel well and can withstand warmer temperatures.
Nutrition Note: Pairing fresh fruit with a cheese stick or a nut butter packet can help you stay full for longer.

Larabars

With simple and naturally gluten-free ingredients, you can feel safe buying and packing these as healthier snacks. My favorite flavor is the Cinnamon Roll (

RXBARs

If you aren’t sensitive to egg whites, these bars are great protein bar to add into your snacking habits.

Jerky

Try out some Gluten-Free Grass-Fed Jerky or any other gluten-free jerky (I know KRAVE Jerky has some safe flavors as well) (as always be sure to check the ingredient list!)

Apple Sauce Pouches

You know what I am talking about, those squeezable applesauce packets that are tailored to children but are actually suitable and delicious for any age.

Munk Packs

They have gluten-free quinoa oatmeal squeezes that are amazing. Get some healthy whole grains and fruit in with one squeezable pouch! (This brand also has some awesome Gluten Free Protein Cookies available too).

Dips and Sauces

Depending on what you are preparing, these can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes to prepare!

Preparing things like guacamole, hummus, and other dips for your veggie dipping delights can be a great way to make sure you are eating healthy snacks.

On top of that, preparing pasta sauces and other sauces ahead of time for tasty and flavorful dishes can help prevent you from getting bored of the same old core ingredients.

Buying a pre-made dip or sauce (with decent ingredients) from the store counts! In fact, I almost always make sure I have a variety of salsa in my pantry because 1. I love them so much and 2. they act as my sauces for the week.
