While it may seem that meal prepping takes a lot of time , keep the bigger picture in mind . Meal preparation can save time and money in the end and will help your overall goal to eat more healthily . Imagine the benefits that will come by planning your meals , such as more time to dedicate to exercise . An hour saved on a weekday could mean fitting in a walk with your family or a yoga session with a friend . Sharing the meal prep experience with your kids will set the example of choosing health over convenient , often unhealthy fast food .
Breakfast and Lunch
Don ’ t be overwhelmed by the idea of prepping every meal . Start where you feel comfortable . When you ’ re ready , ease into preparing breakfast and lunch with a few simple tasks :
• Portion out the ingredients for your favourite smoothie in a freezer-safe container . Pop everything into the blender and add TerraGreens™ to take your breakfast smoothie to the next level .
• Make two or three lunches for the week ahead of time . Bento-style containers keep items fresh and are easy to grab , whether you ’ re on the go or staying at home . Turkey wraps , a healthy burrito bowl , or a salad with dressing on the side are a just few ideas that can be added to your lunch meal list .
Our calendars are full of appointments and responsibilities . To help make meal prep fit into your routine , calendar when you ’ re going to plan , shop and prepare . When it comes time for the prep , don ’ t think of it as a chore . Turn up the tunes or turn on your favourite cooking show .
