Meal Prep 101

So I want to talk to you today about making an effective strategy for clean eating all week long. It's hard to make good choices consistently when you don't have a plan. Here are some simple steps to help you get in the habit of regular meal planning.

1. Write your meal plan down in simple terms on your calendar for the week
2. Schedule your preparation hour on your calendar
3. Make a grocery list based on your meal plan for the week and consider snacks and easy options for nights that might not be completely settled schedule-wise (always have plan B in the back of your mind)
4. Schedule your grocery trip on your calendar
5. Prep all ingredients possible within your peparation hour. You will be amazed how much you can accomplish in just one focused hour!

Ingredients to consider prepping: Baked sweet potatoes, roasted veggies, soups, roasted chicken breasts, tuna salad, boiled eggs, quinoa, brown rice, homemade sauces and dressings
