310. Organize, Plan, Prep: How to Create Healthy Meals in No Time Flat


Listen Later

Making healthy food choices is infinitely harder when you don’t have a plan. Just a little preparation and planning can set you up for mealtime success. But online meal prep experts, with their matching containers and and a full week’s worth of healthy dishes, can make the task feel completely overwhelming and unattainable!

That’s where Laurie Palau comes in!

Laurie is the author of the book Hot Mess: A Practical Guide to Getting Organized, hosts the popular weekly podcast, This ORGANIZED Life and is the founder of Simply B Organized. Her advice has been featured in Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens & The New York Times.

Laurie is taking her organizational expertise and applying it to the daunting task of meal planning. With her help, we’ll tackle:

  • The difference between meal planning and meal prepping - and how to get started!
  • Laurie’s TOP 3 favorite strategies for meal prepping - and how to get it done FAST.
  • Helpful tips for families with different dietary needs (vegetarian in the house, anyone?).
  • How to pivot when a new season of life calls for a new cooking routine.
  • And as a bonus, we'll dive into how a cluttered kitchen can make healthy eating more challenging - and where to start to get our kitchen clutter under control.
