Food Prep Essentials

HELPING YOU LIVE YOUR HEALTHIEST LIFE

Food prep gets a bad rap. It can seem overwhelming, time consuming, and impractical. BUT, in all actuality food prep SAVES time. Now, food prep might not be for everyone’s schedule, but if you are a busy bee that finds it hard to cook every day and has to grab food on the go, food prep might just be “your thing.” 

We food prep every Sunday. We spend several hours shopping on Sunday and then getting meals together for the whole week. We choose to do all of our lunches and dinners on Sunday, as it makes our week go smoother. However, alter food prep to do what works best for YOU and YOUR schedule. Maybe start with lunches only, or food prep on Sunday and Wednesday. See what you like…what works… and have fun with it!

Get a good set! They come in so handy for measuring recipes, and then portioning out our meals for the week. Grab these for under $10!

this is a MUST. We have a combination of glass tupperware and plastic tupperware, and we go through a ton each week. The key is making sure you have whatever works well for you. Amazon also sells these, which are GREAT for food prep and organizing your meals each week.
