Meal Prepping For People Who Hate Meal Prepping ✌️
Meal Prep; But Make It Simple
Alright, pals.
Today we’re talking about meal prepping…
but specifically for people who hate meal prepping (*raises hand* 🙋♀️).
Let’s face it — we all logically know that meal prepping often sets us up for healthier, more convenient, more time-efficient meals amidst a busy life….
BUT IT SUCKS.
There I said it.
I mean, who wants to spend hours of their precious weekend researching recipes, making a grocery list, going to the store to shop, and then prepping all the various ingredients? Not me.
But…… I can’t deny that having a bit of a plan, some pre-made items, and a liiiiiiiittle bit of structure and preparation DOES make a major difference in actually getting healthy food on the plate. 🥲
So, as a compromise, I’ve developed a bit of a formula: 4️⃣ simple, key ingredients I prep once per week to set myself up for success for healthy, nourishing meals, and today I am walking you through the entire process.
So, if you're someone who likes the benefits of meal prepping, but you…
…don’t have the time: My technique takes 1 hour total (it’s truly THAT simple!)
…don’t want to plan & find all the recipes: This foolproof formula has no
”set” recipe or plan at all — just 4 versatile staple ingredients that you can mix and match.…don’t want to eat the same meal every day: These ingredients are designed to be combined, used solo, and utilized in a variety of ways (aka, I’m not going to have you eating a chicken burrito bowl for 5 days in a row).
…are worried about the cost: I have honestly found that this technique SAVES me money because it ensures I always have a healthy option ready (no need to cave for takeout!).
If you are looking for a fancy-schmancy meal plan with exact ingredients that will give you 5+ specific recipes for the week & tons of elaborate ingredients and flavors, this is not for you.
But if you are looking for a simple, time-efficient formula to making healthy meals more attainable during a busy week, you’re in the right place.😉
Different from other “meal prepping” techniques— I don’t purchase ingredients for specific meals or exact recipes. Instead, I have determined 4 versatile ingredients staples that I can prep & then effortlessly incorporate into each week’s meals and snacks to add health to my meals with ease.
Gone are the days of spending hours planning, shopping, and cooking only to eat the same 2-3 recipes again… and again… and again… all week 🙃
Instead, following this method will have you strategically spending 45 minutes to an hour whipping up a handful of bulk ingredients to add that healthy kick to your meals and snacks through mixing and matching.
Think of it as less of a recipe, but more of a foolproof formula for making veggie-filled, protein-rich, comprehensive meals a reality in the middle of even the busiest stage of life.
Ya ready? Let’s get into it.
