Today our Healthy Tip Tuesday is simple. MEAL PREPPING. It can seem overwhelming when you read those two words, but meal prepping doesn't have to be this huge ordeal. I usually stock up on my fruits, veggies & meat towards the end of the week and then on Saturday or Sunday ( which ever day I have more time) I take an hour or so & prep for the week. Meal prepping is something everyone can do. You can choose to make full meals or just have snack containers prepared for when you need a good go to snack. The key is to cook up a meat for the week, a veggie, fruit, and usually a carb. Chicken, Broccoli & rice are a good choice. I also make sure I have sliced apples, pears, cut up carrot sticks, grapes, cuties & boiled eggs. These are all options that are good to have ready to eat. Because face it- if we have to cut it up on the spot to eat it.... we won't eat it. I keep make ahead breakfast muffins (link in blog) also that can be popped in the microwave and are perfect to grab & go. Greens are also a good thing to keep on hand and make a great grilled chicken salad that you can throw together fast. Remember, you will eat whats ready and quick in your fridge so make sure you have a lot of healthy options to start your week off right.
