Meal prep doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the kitchen all at once. Instead of tackling everything in one day, spread it out over the week!
Most weeks I spend Sunday afternoons prepping, but this week I did things a little different. Here’s an example of what I’ve done this week
Day 1: Cook Your Proteins- Grill, bake, or pan-cook chicken, beef, tofu, or fish. Keep seasonings simple so you can adjust flavors throughout the week.
Day 2: Prep Your Veggies- Roast, steam, or sautee a variety of vegetables. Keep them versatile so they can be mixed and matched with different meals.
Day 3: Cook Your Starches - Batch cook rice, quinoa, or yams/potatoes to have a solid base for meals. Store in portions for easy grab-and-go options.
By breaking up meal prep, you make it more manageable, less overwhelming, and easier to stay consistent. Small steps = big results!
