Family Meal Prep, plus Juicy, Gluten-free Meatballs recipe
The Weekday Meals Everyone will LOVE
If you’re anything like me, feeding a family can feel like a full-time job. Parents want to stay on track with their health goals, kids want something tasty and comforting, and everyone is short on time. That’s why this week’s featured meal prep plan is all about families, big or small, who want wholesome, healthy, kid-friendly meals that actually work for everyone at the table.
At Chefpost, we see it every week: families booking personal chefs to design fully customized meal plans. No two families are alike, and that’s the beauty of it, your meals should adapt to you, not the other way around.
And lately? We’ve noticed a trend. Families are leaning into healthy, comforting meals that are versatile, nourishing, and most importantly, loved by kids. This week’s plan is exactly that.
The Star Recipe: Chef Carolina’s Juicy Meatballs
One dish I’m so excited to share with you is from one of our amazing Miami chefs, Chef Carolina. Her wholesome meatballs are nothing like the frozen grocery store versions. These are:
Gluten-free and dairy-free
Packed with flavor and protein
Perfectly juicy (never dry!)
A true crowd-pleaser for kids and adults
Why we love them for meal prep:
Make a big batch at once.
Serve them with pasta, rice, or quinoa.
Pack them in lunchboxes as a high-protein snack.
Keep extras ready in the fridge or freezer for busy nights.

Of course, you can try the recipe yourself (and please tell me how it goes!). But if you’re ready to skip the cooking, remember you can book a personal chef on Chefpost to meal prep these exact recipes for your family. You choose the meals, your chef cooks, and you enjoy a week of stress-free meals.
This Week’s Family Meal Plan
Along with Chef Carolina’s meatballs, our Family Meal Prep Plan includes a variety of dishes designed for balance and flexibility. Think:
Healthy proteins for parents to stay on track.
Comforting, mix-and-match sides kids actually enjoy.
Meals you can repurpose throughout the week so dinner doesn’t feel repetitive.
Food should nourish your body and your family, not stress you out. Whether you cook these meals at home or book one of our chefs to prep them for you, I hope this week’s meal plan makes life a little easier, healthier, and more delicious.
Comment your favorite meals or food preferences, I would love to feature more custom meal plans for you!
Wishing you a wholesome week!
