MEAL PREP TIPS

Meal Prep Tips

Don't Wing It.... Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail
The number one reason I (and most likely you too) trip up with food during the week is
my lack of being prepared. Which is why meal prep is essential.
MY ADVICE
#1 PICK ONE DAY OF THE WEEK AND PREP YOUR STAPELS
( CHICEKN, GROUND TURKEY ETC) IN BULK
Have these already prepared so that all you have to do is add a simple salad or some
green veggies. Facts! Meal prep will keep you on track and stop you from grabbing
convenience/junk foods.
#2 Go Crazy with the spices.
Prep things that you like to eat, and add spices and flavors Some of my
favorites are jerk and curry…If you don’t like what you’re eating, your meal plan
will not be sustainable
#3 Stock up on your meal prep staples.
Keep your pantry and freezer stocked with quick go-to items. Here’s what I
always try to have on hand.

Freezer: frozen fruits and veggies (less expensive and lasts much longer),
frozen brown rice or quinoa (quicker cooking and no pan to wash!), frozen
shrimp or salmon (defrosts quickly).

Pantry: Plain oatmeal, beans, diced tomatoes, salsa, chicken or veggie broth

#4 Cut Corners
Buy veggies pre-cut. Even though it costs a bit more at first, you may find you
waste less and spend less time in the kitchen.

#5 Get Creative
Some people get bored and think they have to eat the same thing every day, all
day. This is hardly the case! Think outside of the box. Your traditional
breakfast or or early day meal does NOT always have to be eggs and oatmeal.
Use your approved foods list to swap out.
