*Appetizing* Meal Prep Hacks

As I write this, it's a cozy snow day in New York City! Snow days always remind me of being at home and having ample time to cook an amazingly aromatic meal. Today is no different. I am so excited to be cooking a flavorful beef stew that will provide me with nourishment for tonight / tomorrow’s dinner and likely lunch on Thursday.

Meal prepping is such an essential part of wellbeing. I think that meal planning tends to get a bad reputation because people automatically imagine a gym bro steaming pounds of chicken and broccoli with bland white rice.

In this episode I provide appetizing meal prep hacks that have helped both myself & my clients overcome resistance to the seemingly arduous (yet so beneficial) task of meal prepping!

Below is the formula I cover in the episode for exciting yet doable weekly meal prepping.

Side note: Sorry about the audio, my mic was not functioning properly and clear sound will be restored for the next episode

Enjoy : )

Meal Prep Formula: Split up the task [Chunking] & Assign each chunk a day:

Step 1: Thursday: Decide on 2 recipes for the upcoming week

Step 2: Friday: Food shop for recipe 1

Step 3: Saturday: Relax! Buffer day off

Step 4: Sunday: Meal prep recipe 1 (Sunday / Monday / Tuesday Dinner)

Step 5: Tuesday: Food shop for recipe 2

Step 6: Wednesday: Meal prep recipe 2 (Wednesday / Thursday / Friday Dinner OR Lunch leftovers)

Additional tips for keeping a bank of repeatable yet inspiring recipes (depends on dietary preferences):

  • 2 chicken recipes

  • 2 beef recipes

  • 2 pork recipes

  • 2 veggie recipes 

  • 2 seafood recipes

    Total = 10 recipes which is over a month’s worth of meal prepping that can easily be put on rotation without you getting sick of them
