Planning your meals for the week
Start by creating a meal plan for the week, taking into account your schedule and dietary preferences. Make a grocery list based on your meal plan to ensure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand.
Prepping your meals efficiently
Set aside a specific time each week for meal prep. Choose recipes that can be easily batch-cooked and portioned out for the week. Utilize time-saving techniques such as pre-cutting vegetables, marinating proteins, and cooking grains in advance.
Storing your meals properly
Invest in quality storage containers that are both microwave and freezer safe. Portion out your meals into individual containers, making sure to label and date them. Store meals in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for longer-term storage.
