5 Steps to Meal Prep

Step 1. Create a rough menu for the week Focus: Think about building your meals around protein and fat and then accessorizingCaution: If you’re highly motivated and OCD you might be tempted to make a menu for the entire month but be careful - It’s very easy to get overwhelmed! It’s much better to start small so we recommend sticking with one week at a time for now.Step 2. Choose meals that you can prepare in bulk and then freeze (ie Roasts, Casseroles, Meat dishes, etc)Focus: Plan 2-3 bulk meals that will cover at least three lunches and three dinners for all the members of your family.Caution: Don’t make anything too fancy at this point. You’ll be spending a lot of time prepping at the beginning and you don’t want to get burned out.Step 3. Finalize your menu and then buy all the food you’re going to eat for the week in one shopping tripFocus: Once you’re at the store, start by buying all the ingredients for your bulk meals and then buy everything elseCaution: Try not to buy too many impulse buy junk foods to your shopping cart. The goal here is to start training yourself to only eat food based on your meal plan - aka Conscious EatingStep 4. As soon as possible when you get home, prepare your bulk meals for the week and freeze themFocus: Unless you have a strange schedule, weekends are the best for meal prepCaution: If this is your first time meal prepping you may find yourself exhausted fairly quickly. Wine and good music can be helpful. Ditto healthy(ish) snacks.Step 5. During the week, defrost your new frozen meals as needed, warm them up and Voila! Delicious meals in minutes that are custom-tailored for your dietary wants and needsFocus: On a daily basis you can accessorize your meals with salads, cooked veggies, fruits, cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts, seeds, portion-controlled desserts, mineral waters, etc, etc. based on your weekly menu optionsCaution: Don’t worry if you need to change your menu during the week. The first month or so is all about adaptation and finding what works for you, yo
