Meal Planning Tip
Prep Ahead for Effortless Enjoyment. When diving into your meal planning adventure, don’t forget the power of prepping ahead. Spend a bit of time on a day off chopping veggies, marinating, and cooking grains. Store these prepped ingredients in portioned containers in your fridge or freezer. When it’s time to whip up a meal, you’ll have your own ready-to-go “meal kit” at your fingertips, making cooking a breeze even on busy weekdays. Prepping ahead not only saves time but also ensures that you stay on track with your nutritious and delicious meal plan without the stress of last-minute preparations.
