Slimming World Meal Prep Guide
Meal prepping is a fantastic way to stay on plan with Slimming World, save time, and reduce stress during the week. This guide will walk you through the steps for a successful meal prep, from planning to ex*****on.
Step 1: Planning Your Meals
1. Set Your Weekly Goals:
• Decide how many meals and snacks you want to prep (e.g., breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks).
• Consider your schedule—prep more for busy days.
2. Choose Slimming World-Friendly Recipes:
• Opt for recipes with Syn-free or low-Syn ingredients.
• Balance Free Foods (fruit, vegetables, lean proteins) with Healthy Extras and Syns.
3. Create a Meal Plan:
Example:
• Breakfasts: Overnight oats, egg muffins, or porridge.
• Lunches: Syn-free soups, salads with lean proteins, or jacket potatoes.
• Dinners: Slimming World bolognese, curry, or roast chicken with vegetables.
• Snacks: Fresh fruit, fat-free yogurt, or boiled eggs.
4. Make a Shopping List:
• List everything you need based on your meal plan.
• Stock up on pantry staples like spices, stock cubes, and low-calorie sprays.
Step 2: Prepping Ingredients
1. Start with the Basics:
• Wash and chop vegetables (store them in airtight containers or bags).
• Portion proteins (e.g., chicken, fish) and marinate if needed.
• Cook grains like rice, quinoa, or couscous in bulk.
2. Batch Cooking:
• Prepare large batches of meals like soups, stews, or pasta sauces that can be portioned and frozen.
• Use slow cookers or pressure cookers to save time.
3. Healthy Snacks:
• Slice fruit like melon or pineapple for grab-and-go snacks.
• Boil eggs for a high-protein snack option.
Step 3: Storing Your Meals
1. Use the Right Containers:
• Invest in BPA-free, stackable containers with compartments.
• Label containers with the meal name and date.
2. Refrigerate or Freeze:
• Store meals for up to 4 days in the fridge. Freeze anything that won’t be eaten within that timeframe.
• Soups, casseroles, and curries freeze particularly well.
