Meal Prep Madness

Hey y’all I want to take some time to talk about healthy eating. As I continue on my fitness journey, I’m constantly trying new healthy meals & snacks. Lately I have started getting into meal prepping & it’s making life so much easier! I love cooking a big meal & prepping portions for future meals. Last night after making tacos, I was able to portion out enough for at least two more meals that I plan to convert into taco bowls. I also love to make pasta for meal prep because my husband & I eat it once a week. I have found that chicken & rice meals, prepped in separate containers, are also a good option in our household. Every week I meal prep some of my favorite veggies- cucumbers, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes & broccoli. I use these veggies throughout the week as an afternoon snack or as a light lunch, in addition to a cup of yogurt or bowl of soup. I portion the veggies in separate containers, based on their purpose: afternoon snack or light lunch. I enjoy eating veggies with a fat free ranch or light balsamic vinegarette dressing. For breakfast, I just discovered overnight oats & they are delicious & so simple to prep! You just add milk & let them refrigerate overnight, then breakfast is waiting for you in the morning! There are so many options when it comes to meal prep but I have found it’s best to do what works for you & your household. I’m still in the learning process with portion control & meal prepping but so far I’m loving it! It makes meal time more simple & quick since your meals are practically ready to go, just reheat & eat! Do y’all meal prep? What are some of your favorite meals to make during the week?
