How to Get Started Meal Prepping

Prepping ahead of time is one of the best ways to stay on track with a healthy lifestyle. It makes eating nutritious meals daily a little bit easier, especially if you have a busy schedule!

If you're struggling to get started on meal prepping, here are some super simple (yet effective) ways to help you succeed in making it a habit:

✅ Buy reusable meal prep containers

Invest in BPA-free glassware containers to store your food. The food that you have prepped for the week can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or be frozen and thawed out later.

✅ Create a balanced meal

Make sure your meal contains a serving of veggies, protein, carbs, and healthy fat. This will ensure you're creating a well-balanced meal that will keep you full and satisfied.

✅ Use an Instant Pot for easy set-up and clean-up

Let a slow cooker or Instant Pot do the work for you!

✅ Allot 1-2 hours each week to prep

Meal prep does take time, so make sure you allot time in your schedule to get it done. To make it more fun, listen to a podcast or have a fun show to watch/listen to in the background!

Remember, take it step by step! Focus on one meal at a time to build the habit!
