Directions

  1. 1

    Add the ingredients for the base overnight oats recipe into each of your meal prep containers.

  2. 2

    Drained the salmon completely. Add to mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients. Mix until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Veggies: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tsp of avocado oil along with the sliced bell peppers and onions. Saute until onions are translucent and easy to pierce with a fork. Add 1 tsp of taco seasoning and mix to combine. Saute a few more minutes then remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add all ranch ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until fully combined. I like to add a tbsp of two of water to thin out the consistency, but this is optional. Transfer ranch to individual sauce cups (optional).
