How do you feel when I say the words “MEAL PREP”⁉️ ⁣
⁣
Stressed? Anxious? Confused? Overwhelmed?
⁣
I feel your pain.  Seriously, I used to HATE cooking healthy meals. I found it super stressful and overwhelming.  I didn’t know where to begin, and thought I needed to spend HOURS every day cooking healthy meals.
⁣
Boy was I WRONG.  Over the last 7 years, I’ve learned that cooking healthy meals at home DOES NOT REQUIRE you to spend 5 hours in the kitchen… Nor does it require a $200 grocery store bill every week. ⁣Surprised?? Read on!
⁣
Sure, cooking healthy meals requires you to PLAN and PREPARE ahead of time, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend your ENTIRE Sunday cooking meals for the entire week.
⁣
Check out my BEST 3 hacks to help you turn into a meal prep ninja: ⁣
⁣
1. WASH, CHOP, and STORE ALL FRUITS AND VEGGIES AS SOON AS YOU GET HOME FROM THE STORE — Not only did this help save me time, but it also helped save money.  You’re MUCH more likely to use these if they’re already cut up and ready to eat! ⁣
⁣
2. DOUBLE and TRIPLE RECIPES — Whether you’re cooking for 1 person or a family of 4, try to double and triple healthy recipes and freeze the second and third batch.  Having healthy meals in your freezer that are ready-to-go can help for weeks that turn crazy busy!⁣
⁣
3. PREP SMARTER, NOT HARDER — Try to multitask when possible.  For example, try to bake 4-5 chicken breasts at once, and use it throughout the week on salads, sandwiches, & wraps.  While the chicken is in the oven, prepare your fruits, veggies and whole grains for the week. ⁣
⁣
At the end of the day, your meals don’t need to be FANCY in order to lose weight… They need to be NUTRITIOUS.  Every month, I share a healthy recipe pack with ALL of my clients to help them become masters at meal prep without spending hours in the kitchen. ⁣
