Sunday Main Prep Sequence
Preheat & Start Grains

Prep Potatoes & Vegetables
Halve 1.5kg krieltjes, toss in olive oil + seasonings, put in oven (35–40 mins total). Chop broccoli into florets and slice 16 heads of witloof.
Stovetop Sauté & Chicken
Brown 1.4kg chicken mince, add witloof + soy sauce + mustard until dry. Next, grill chicken breasts (1.1kg) for Lunch 1 in the same pan.
Bake Salmon & Broccoli
Add salmon fillets and broccoli florets to the oven alongside the potatoes for the final 12–15 minutes.
Assemble Dry Breakfast Bowls
Set out 14 containers. Portion oats, frozen berries, and (for 2500 target) walnuts + peanut butter. Store dry; add plattekaas the night before.
Cool Down & Containerize

Pro Tips for Maximum Freshness
Spinach & Tomatoes
Spinach must be completely dry before packing. Halve tomatoes for Day 1–2; leave them whole for Day 3–4 so they don't release moisture prematurely.
Reheating Fish
Reheat salmon at 50% microwave power for 90 seconds. This avoids drying out the fish and keeps seafood odors minimal in shared spaces.
Fresh Avocado Handling
Never slice avocado during Sunday prep. Slice half an avocado directly over your lunch/dinner container right before serving.
