Meal Prep 101
If you have seen my feed on Instagram, you know I LOVE to meal prep. Putting together different meal combos ensures I always have something healthy to eat and I am not snacking throughout the day. Mindless snacking can be the downfall of any healthy eating plan. Here is how you can integrate meal prep into your life.
Get some fun containers. The three compartment containers allow me to test my creativity and make sure I have all the basics of my meals covered
Think about macronutrient balance – pick a complex carb, a healthy fat and a lean protein and as many vegetables as you can stand!
Do some chopping and food prepping in advance. If already have everything out in your kitchen, maximize your time in order to minimize your clean-up.
Think about colors. We eat with our eyes, so the more appealing you can make your meals look, the more you will enjoy the whole meal prep process.
Look for inspiration. Instagram is a great place for inspo. These are some of my favorite accounts to follow:
