Our Prep Dish 2024 most popular recipes have arrived! This list is full of easy, healthy meal prep dinners to start your year off right.
When I look back at 2024 and the recipes our Prep Dish community requested and loved, two things stand out to me – quick dinners and high protein. We have a lot of diversity in our community's eating styles, but the desire for easy weeknight dinners and help in meeting protein goals were pretty consistent.
You'll see these values reflected in our 2024 most popular recipes below. Almost the entire list is dinner recipes this year, with a snack, a dessert and a high protein breakfast thrown in for good measure. This doesn't really surprise me. While our gluten free and paleo meal plans do include a breakfast, salad, snack and dessert, meal prep dinners are definitely at the heart of the meal plans.
If you're looking to start a meal prep habit this year, or simply looking to increase your repertoire of easy, healthy dinners, I urge you to give one of these a try! They're our most popular recipes for a reason and I think you'll find that each is approachable, delicious and leaves you feeling great. And if you do try one, I want to know! Snap a pic and share with me on Instagram @prepdish or in our Facebook group. Seeing your meal prep photos makes my day 🙂

Moroccan Breakfast Hash
I first shared this recipe on the blog 9 years ago and I love seeing that it's still a favorite today! The hash itself is simple but the spice blend has so much depth of flavor, you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again.
Clementine Balls
These make an excellent snack or healthy dessert. They're great packed in lunchboxes (with an ice pack) and they freeze really well. Unlike most energy bites, these don't call for any oats, so are perfect for those of you who are paleo or grain-free.
Tex Mex Turkey Casserole
Incredibly easy and family-friendly, I'm not surprised to see this one on the favorites list! You can make it with either ground turkey or ground beef, it's delicious either way.
Curry Sheetpan Chicken & Veggies
This simple sheetpan meal includes the best curry marinade. It's earthy, slightly sweet and so full of flavor.
Shepherd's Pie
This shepherd's pie is the epitome of healthy comfort food. I use a mix of mashed cauliflower and mashed potatoes for the perfect balance of flavor and nutrition.
Parsley Chicken w/ Acorn Squash
A simple marinade brings bright, citrusy, herbaceous flavors to the chicken. A simple side of kale with garlic and goat cheese rounds out the meal.
Maple Mustard Pork
This pork has been consistently popular on our Prep Dish meal plans and it requires just 3 ingredients! Pork tenderloin, pure maple syrup and dijon mustard come together for a delicious weeknight meal.
Turkey Taco Soup
Turkey Taco Soup has made our favorites lists multiple years for good reason! It has all of the beloved flavor of tacos in a nutritious, tasty soup. Load it up with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy!
BLT Pasta Salad
Who doesn't love bacon? Tomatoes, kale, bacon and a creamy, herby dressing evoke the classic BLT but in a meal prep-friendly pasta dish. You can use zoodles in place of pasta if you prefer.
Sweet Potato Red Pepper Soup
With fewer than ten ingredients, this soup comes together easily. Serve with a simple green salad or with roasted chicken for a higher protein option.
Black Bean Quinoa Burgers
Packed with flavor and plant-based protein, these black bean quinoa burgers are hearty and delicious. They have a great texture that can stand up to any of your favorite burger toppings.
Chimichurri Sauce
Whether you put it on salmon, steak, shrimp, chicken or lamb, chimichurri sauce is an easy way to level up your dinner. You can also add it to rice, roasted veggies or eggs – so many tasty ways to use this sauce!
Cajun Turkey Burgers
Red onion, garlic, green onion, jalapeno and Cajun seasoning are mixed right into the ground turkey in this recipe. You'll also find three other tasty turkey burger recipes in this post!
Cherry Mousse
This list wouldn't be complete without a healthy dessert! All of our gluten free and paleo meal plans include a sweet treat. This cherry mousse requires just 3 simple ingredients! I do recommend you make the coconut milk whipped cream as well though – it's rich and creamy and just perfectly sweetened.
