It’s easy to get side tracked with your health goals. Even the most disciplined people can struggle at times. Work, family, social life, they all need your attention and can take your focus away from your health goals.
This is where meal prep can help. If you have a busy week ahead prepping food on Sunday can be a huge help to stay on track with your eating goals for the week. Planning out meals for the week and having ready made snacks in the fridge can help prevent that “let’s just get take out” phone call. Only to wake up tomorrow morning feeling guilty and like crap.
To simplify meal planning, reduce food waste, and save time, many individuals opt for repeating meals on a weekly basis. This approach not only streamlines the decision-making process but saves money. By carefully planning and organizing meals for the week, one can save both time and money while staying on track with their health goals.
Having the appropriate tools and an ample supply of storage containers for the fridge and freezer is essential for successful meal prepping.
Consider the following meal prep ideas to inspire your weekly routine:
Pasta sauces with rice or pasta
Overnight oats with Chia Seeds
