Meal prep doesn't have to be complicated. With a little planning, you can set yourself up for a week of healthy eating and avoid the temptation of last-minute takeout.
Start by cooking proteins, carbs, and vegetables in batches. Grill some chicken, roast a tray of vegetables, and cook a pot of rice or quinoa. These become the building blocks of your meals.
Mix and match throughout the week and use different sauces and seasonings to keep things interesting. This prevents flavor fatigue while keeping prep simple.
Store portions in containers so you have grab-and-go meals ready. A couple of hours on the weekend can save you time and help you eat better all week long.
