Save Money, Save Time, And Eat Healthy Meals With Meal Prepping
Preparing healthy and delicious meals 3 times a day can be so hard with everything else you have going on in your life. If you are stressed out at work, you have hungry tiny humans at home, need to bring the dog out for a walk, or do the laundry, thinking about food might be the last thing on your mind.
I know the feeling; I’ve been there before. In my case, work and stress exhausted me. But I still wanted myself and the family to eat well.
That’s when I discovered meal prep. Honestly, if you are late from work or are just rushing out of the house in the morning, having a meal ready to grab can be a lifesaver. By using some simple tips and planning, you’ll be blown away by how easy cooking delicious food can be.

Benefits Of Meal Prepping
Save Money
By making a meal plan, you’ll be able to waste a lot less food. When you go food shopping, you’ll just buy exactly what you need and won’t be tempted to overspend. Plus, by preparing your own healthy recipes, you’ll save a great deal of money rather than eating out.
Save Time
By spending a few hours chopping fresh veggies and cooking at the weekend, you’ll have more time during the busy week to relax and worry less about what you need to put on your table.
Eat Healthy Meals Every Day
The hungrier you are, the more tempted you get to eat unhealthy food. By meal prepping you’ll know what you are eating every day by cooking healthy food ahead of time. This ensures that you are getting the proper vitamins and nutrients your body needs.
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be amazed at how a bit of organization can make your life so much easier, and you’ll just ask yourself why you didn’t do this sooner!

My Favorite Meal Prep Containers
I love containers that are made of glass. You can see what’s in them. They can be used in microwaves, and they won’t release any chemicals at hot temperatures as plastic containers can.
Meal Prep Bowls with dividers: I love these when I want to separate ingredients, like fruits and nuts from my main meal.
Mason Jars: For salads, overnight oats, and chia puddings.
Glass Bottles: Perfect for soups or smoothies on the go!
