7 Meal Prep Tips For Beginners

Tip #1: Make A Plan

Make a list of your fave healthy foods. Choose simple recipes that can be made quickly or in bulk and decide what you’ll eat for every snack and meal.

Tip #2: Stick to your grocery list

Don’t let junk food sneak into your shopping cart. Not having it in the house means not having to use your willpower to avoid it. By sticking to your list and by minimizing the impulse buys, you’ll help yourself save money.

Tip 3: Keep Snacks Simple

When you’re cooking everything for the week at once, it’s important to keep things simple. Save time by choosing snacks that don’t require a lot of time to put together. Fresh fruit, hard-boiled eggs, and pre-cut veggies with prepared hummus are great choices.

Tip 4: Cook foods all at once

Roasting vegetables, sweet potatoes, and even chicken breasts all at once will save you time, and cut down on your utility bill. Imagine…all of your side dishes for the week…ready in about 30 minutes!

Tip 5: look for shortcuts

Buy pre-cut veggies and fruits, cooked lentils, or rotisserie chicken. Ready-made food will save time in the kitchen if you don’t have time to cook at home.

Tip 6: Mix Things Up

It can be tempting to just eat the same meals every day, but you’ll eventually get bored. This can be as simple as choosing different proteins for your salads each day, or eating chicken with vegetables three nights of the week, and fish or tofu with vegetables the other two.

Tip 7: Invest in Food Storage Containers

A small investment in food containers of various sizes to suit your needs will make a world of difference. It’s a good idea to choose one container type and buy several that stack and store neatly.
