Anyone have any fast easy meals that I can meal prep? Something that's 10 mins or less. Breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas welcomed.

Ive been on a salad challenge, so my dinners have basically been rocket, cherry tomatoes, cherry bocconcini with a orange and honey dressing and a serving of a BBQ chicken, or roast lamb.

Yeah that's basically what I've been eating the last month or so.

Do you own a slow cooker? I find cooking in a slow cooker is so much healthier and easier, you dont need to add extra oil.

I've been looking at recipes for slow cookers. I think that's be good and I
could use that as meal prepping for the week

Any baked egg dish would work!  It's veggies (if using frozen, make sure to defrost and dry), beaten eggs, a little milk, and top with some cheese.  http://allsortsofpretty.com/make-ahead-breakfast-recipe-egg-and-veggie-casserole/

It takes just mintues to prep, time to bake and lasts all week.
