Meal Prep: Let's Talk About That!
With school starting back up and stress around the corner, healthy eating becomes hard to maintain. Planning and prepping your meals ahead of time means no drive thru on the way home from pick-up! Meal Prep involves planning ahead and preparing yout meals in advance. This can be super convient for anyone with a busy schedule. Need some tips to get you started? I've got you covered! Check it out:
1. Reusable containers are the perfect way to store your meals, even better when they're glass (good for reheating)! Making your food easy to access and sectioned out is great for those times when you have to grab and go.
2. Meal prep can take hours, so plan your time accordingly. For me, I try to meal prep on Sundays when I know little to nothing is going on. This gives me time to work in the kitchen without having to worry about anything else going on.
3. A lot of the Pinterest ideas we save don't always seem appetizing. Make meals that YOU would want to eat! Prepare foods you're use to, but don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. You don't want it to end up sitting in the fridge untouched. If you are looking for some ideas, DM me!
4. Once you figure out what you are going to prepare, make a grocery list. Don't go to the store without an idea or you'll end up buying food items you don't need. Grocery lists help keep us on-track so we don't end up wandering the isles.
5. When you're meal prepping, try to involve your family. The more help you get in the kitchen, the less time it takes! Asking you kids to pack their school snack ahead of time and/or having your significant other help you cook makes the job less stressful for you.
