5 Tips to Get Started with Meal Prep<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Reuse and recycle<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Equip yourself with helpful kitchen essentials and containers. I recommend getting a set of stackable glass containers<\/a>. You can use them to freeze, refrigerate, microwave, and transport your food!<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Keep \u2018em Crunchy!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      We\u2019ve all had boiled boring greyish broccoli before. Not the most appetizing thing in the world, right? The secret to crunchy veggies is the right cooking technique. Blanching is all the rage.<\/p>\n

      Steam or boil them for a short amount of time (typically 1-5 minutes depending on type of vegetable). You want them to still be al dente. In the next step drain your veggies and blanch them in ice cold water (when I say ice cold I mean ice cold, add a bag of ice cubes to a bowl of cold water and create a cryotherapy kind of treatment for your veggies).<\/p>\n

      This is a very basic technique but super effective to retain color, taste, texture, and nutrients of vegetables. After a few minutes of ice bath, store them in the fridge, freezer, or use them right away.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Soak it!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Soaking legumes, seeds, and grains can help reduce antinutrients and increase the bioavailability of vitamins and minerals! Why is that?<\/p>\n

        Sprouting kickstarts the germination process, liberating the powerful life force inside. Cool, eh? Another reason why I love this process is that it shortens the cooking time. Soaked chickpeas, brown rice, and other legumes and grains cook faster. Just make sure to rinse after soaking before moving on to the next step!<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Make it Grain<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Grains are\u00a0filling, versatile, and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You can use pre-cooked grains for stir fries, grain salads, or even sweet breakfast porridges. Cook a large batch of your favorite grains such as brown rice, millet, or quinoa ahead of time and you have the base of your meals for days. When you need them simply add your favorite dressing, a bunch of veggies, and tofu or tempeh and e voila!<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Blast Music<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The first step in my meal prep routine is always finding a good jam! Turn it up, move, sing, have fun! Meal prepping doesn\u2019t have to be boring and montane. Another favorite of mine is listening to podcasts while chopping away. You\u2019ll see, time will flyyyyyyyyyyy.<\/p>\n

            The Step-by-Step Guide for Your Weekly Meal Prep<\/h5>\n

            The first thing is to figure out how many meals you need that week. Are you eating mostly at home or are you eating out? Is it just you or are kids part of your meals?<\/p>\n

            I\u2019m going to guide you through one week of prepping meals (Monday to Friday) assuming I only cook for myself and that I\u2019m going to eat out once or twice!<\/p>\n

            Number of meals to prep:<\/h4>\n

            Breakfasts: 5<\/p>\n

            Lunches: 4<\/p>\n

            Dinners: 4<\/p>\n

            Now that you figured out the number of meals let\u2019s chat about meal types. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks should be included.<\/p>\n

            Breakfast<\/h4>\n

            Brekky is the favorite part of my day. I\u2019m an all-day breakfast kinda girl so this is clearly where my passion lies. Two of the easiest breakfasts to prepare are ONOs (overnight oats) and smoothies or smoothie bowls.<\/p>\n

            I need five breakfasts, so three of them will be overnight oats and two will be smoothies!<\/p>\n

            For smoothies I\u2019ll take two biodegradable bags and add one cup of frozen fruit and half a banana into the bags, label them, and pop them into the freezer.<\/p>\n

            Let your creative juices flow for ONOs. You can combine any flavors you want.<\/p>\n

            The trick is to mix oats, liquid, sweetener, chia seeds, and spices together in a jar, pop the lid on, give it a good shake to combine, and store it in the fridge overnight. The next morning simply add fresh fruit, nut butter, or any other toppings of your preference. So good and ready in no time!<\/p>\n

            Add to shopping list: oatmeal, bananas, plant-based milk, chia seeds, frozen mixed berries, baby spinach, almond butter, maple syrup\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Lunch! When 12 O clock finally hits\u2026<\/h4>\n

            Lunch should be filling but not heavy. One option is to finish leftovers from dinner of the day before. I\u2019m a sucker for leftovers but I totally understand if that\u2019s not your jam.<\/p>\n

            Salads<\/a>, noodles<\/a>, and sandwiches are easy to prepare and don\u2019t sit heavy in your stomach!<\/p>\n

            Add to the shopping list: rainbow of veggies, leafy greens, beans, tofu and tempeh, seeds, soy sauce and other condiments such as extra virgin olive oil<\/a> and vinegar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

            Winner, Winner, Chickpea Dinner<\/h4>\n

            Sushi bowls, burrito bowls, you name it. Bowls are a great way to use leftovers! They look pretty and are real nutrition bombs! Reach for different grains, potatoes, chickpeas, veggies, tempeh, maybe even vegan cheese! Another fave is \u201cpulled pork<\/a>\u201d with jackfruit!<\/p>\n

            Add to your shopping list: potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegan cheese, grains (millet, brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth…endless options), abundance of veggies (should be on the list already), pasta, jackfruit, tomato sauce<\/p>\n

            Snacks, Snacks, Snacks<\/h4>\n

            I know it\u2019s easy to cut up some fruit for the week but who’s crazy about a brownish apple in a Tupperware? No one!<\/p>\n

            Boost your fruit with something like an energy ball<\/a>, a delicious hummus recipe<\/a>, or even trail mix!<\/p>\n

            Add to shopping list: Fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, trail mix, dates, chickpeas, tahini, lemons<\/p>\n

            Now you\u2019re all set! Get your notebook, make a list, turn up the music and get preppin\u2019. You\u2019ll see how much time you\u2019ll have during the week nights!<\/p>\n
