Storage & Meal Prep Tips
How to Store
Store most keto dinners in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Seafood dinners are best enjoyed within 1 to 2 days.
How to Reheat
Reheat skillet meals gently on the stove or in the microwave. Add a splash of broth, cream, or water if the sauce thickens too much.
Best Keto Meal Prep Ingredients
Keep cauliflower rice, cooked chicken, ground beef, shredded cabbage, boiled eggs, cheese, avocado, zucchini, spinach, pesto, butter, garlic, and sugar-free sauces ready for fast meals.
Freezer Tip
Cooked ground beef, cooked chicken, cauliflower rice, and stuffed chicken-style meals freeze better than lettuce bowls, avocado toppings, or zucchini noodles.
