Meal prep means preparing meals in advance to save time and still ensure healthy eating. It helps you to prepare meals for the whole week so that you can access nutritious and balanced meals at any time without having to cook every day. Meal prepping allows you to keep track of your diet, control calorie intake and maintain a balanced diet without the stress. With the right planning, you can prepare meals in large quantities and then divide them into portions so that you are prepared for several days. This not only saves time, but also money, as you can buy larger quantities of ingredients and make better use of leftovers.
Efficient pre-cooking
Choose recipes that are easy to cook and store well. Cook larger quantities of basic ingredients such as rice, quinoa, or legumes, which can easily be used in various dishes.
Use airtight containers
To keep your meals fresh, invest in airtight containers that keep ingredients fresh and save space in the refrigerator.
Planning is the key
Create a shopping list and weekly plan to prepare your meals optimally. Prepare all ingredients in one day so that you can put meals together quickly.
