Do you find yourself struggling to eat a nutritious meal amidst a packed schedule? Whether you’re a busy student, working professional, a mama, or some combination of all three, taking a little time to prep meals will help you tackle the week ahead.

 

Tips + Tools

 

  • Invest in quality containers since you’ll be doing this every week, right? I like to use glass containers. Look for containers that are microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe. Check out some options HERE.

  • Even the task of meal prep can feel daunting at first! Start with easy recipes with minimal ingredients. I’ve found some go-to recipes that are low-effort, macro-friendly, and full of flavor (simple breakfast recipes below).

 

  • While prepping, utilize multiple modes of cooking (stovetop, oven, instant pot, microwave) at the same time for efficiency.

  • Shop with a list! Plan your menu for the week and make a grocery list of everything you need to buy. No need to wander the aisles—getting just what’s on your list will help you save time and money.
