Skinny Bang Bang Zucchini Noodles Meal Prep These skinny bang bang zucchini noodles are an easy way to start your week. You can make multiple servings ahead of time, enough for a few meals during the week. We recently started to meal prep on weekends and so far I’m enjoying it. We only do it for lunch, but it helps us to eat healthier during the week and I have less stress of having to cook every meal. Normally, we keep things pretty simple for lunch anyway, but this is a lunch I look forward to given my love for bang bang sauce. The skinny part of this meal comes from two things.
