When it comes to healthy eating, preparation is the key to success. This way you tend to not waste food, and plan ahead. If I donβt meal prep part of my week, I get lazy and waste food or make bad choices for snacks and dinners. You know when you donβt have anything easy to make and you end up filling up on chips or cheese or bread? Yup I do.
This simple meal prep just takes about an hour or so of my Sunday (or Monday night).
I’m sure you’ve all seen this trend on Instagram or maybe you also follow Tracy at Shutterbean.
Start off by cooking anything on the stove top all at once. Set the oven to roast your veggies or bake bread and desserts. I like to get this all going so I can use my counter space to wash and prep veggies and fruit. I would also suggest investing in a Tupperware set so keep organized. Itβs nice when you can stack the containers in your fridge neatly.
Chopped veggies and fruit are key, they are easy to grab snacks and if prepped you tend to choose them instead of chips. Consider planning your menu for the week before shopping and prepping. That way you wonβt waste anything youβve made and keep on track budget wise.
