Simple Meal Prep

โฃI always get asked about how to get started with meal prep. Reality is if youโve never done it, it can definitely feel overwhelming, but if thereโs one thing Iโve seen, itโs that the reason most people fail throughout the week (and weekends) is they donโt set up their environment for success. โฃ
Letโs shift your perspective on meal prep. ๐๐ตโ๐ด ๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ. โฃ
BUT it doesnโt have to mean that youโre spending hours in the kitchen. In the summer I am all about convenience, so here are some of my favorite meal prep tips to simplify: โฃ
- ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ณ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง. You can roast frozen veggies in the oven. Frozen is usually just as healthy as fresh produce since itโs typically flash frozen. Look for options that are just vegetables, no sauces. Tear open your bag, pour onto a baking sheet, spritz with a little avocado oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Bake at 350-400 degrees for 20-30 minutes and done. Easy! โฃ

I always like to batch cook my proteins, crockpot chicken is my favorite, so Iโll usually make a double or triple portion in the crockpot, save some for the week, and freeze some for later weeks in individual portions. That way I can grab them as I go and defrost in a pinch. โฃ
- ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ. You donโt even have to prep if you donโt want to. Sometimes meal prep can be as simple as pulling the chicken off of a rotisserie chicken, stocking your refrigerator with salad kits, buying pre cooked rice or quinoa, stocking up on frozen veggies, etc.. I shared some of my favorite convenient options here!ย
- ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ. These literally take 2 minutes and theyโre so simple. Theyโll last Monday through Friday so you have breakfast done all week and you can be versatile with ingredients and flavors so you donโt get sick of them. โฃ

We know our daily Starbucks addiction isnโt getting us closer to our weight loss goal, but we continue to cling to that habit. โฃ
โฃ
๐๐ฉ๐บ? โฃ
โฃ
Because in some way itโs serving you. โฃ
โฃ
Whether itโs your morning wake up jolt. โฃ
The one reward you treat yourself with. โฃ
Or the one time you feel warm and cozy all day. โฃ
โฃ
It has a purpose and in order to get to the bottom of how to change that behavior we need to first figure out how it is serving you.โฃ
โฃ
Then we can start to seek to gain that same benefit in some other, healthier way. โฃ
โฃ
Weโre very quick to judge ourselves for doing the things we shouldnโt be, but itโs rare we actually stop to look at why theyโre actually serving us. โฃ
โฃ
When we choose observation over judgment we can start to make positive steps towards actually changing the not so positive behaviors that are serving us in some way. โฃ
โฃ
Little mindset hack for your Tuesday and reminder to show yourself compassion and grace instead of constant grit, judgment and negativity. โฃ
