Meal prepping made easy

Getting started

• Calculate how many meals you need – start off with either breakfasts, lunches, dinners or snacks and then add in more as you get into the routine.
• Use leftovers – make extra for dinner and use the leftovers for lunch the next day.
• Make the most of your freezer – frozen vegetables are your friend! Pre-washed and cut, they need minimal preparation and are just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts.
• Write a shopping list – once you have an idea of meals for the week ahead, make a list of the ingredients you’ll need
• Keep track – cooked meat can keep in the fridge for 3-4 days if stored correctly, after that it’s time to freeze it.
• Use the right containers – invest in some reusable air tight containers or freezer bags that are adequately sized for individual portions and can be used again and again.
