Discover the Ease of Meal Prep!

Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.

Hello Educators!

We've all heard about meal prep, and maybe we've even given it a shot ourselves. But let's be real, it can feel a bit overwhelming, especially with our busy teacher lives. Well, here are three reasons to give meal prepping another chance, and this time, we're keeping it super simple!

Meal Prep Made Easy: 3 Reasons to Consider

1. It saves time:

We know teachers have about 30 minutes for lunch, and making the most of this time is a game-changer. Start small by prepping one meal, maybe even just a daily snack. Keep it simple, and if you crave variety, try prepping a new meal each week. Personally, I prep lunches only, making my lunch break a breeze. Find what works for you!

2. It helps you make mindful choices:

Planning nutritious meals in ahead of time helps you avoid making quick choices to eat whatever is nearby and convenient, like snacks from a vending machine or other processed foods. When we're hungry and without a plan, we tend to grab whatever's easiest. But with meal prep, you're in control of what you eat. Be mindful about your food choices by having a plan before you're even hungry.

3. It is cost-effective:

Buying ingredients in bulk for meal prepping can save money over time. If you're okay with eating the same meal for a few days, your wallet will thank you! Plus, it makes shopping a breeze and saves you time.

Ready to give meal prepping a shot? Start with one meal each day or a daily afternoon snack. Experiment with different meals and find what fits your lifestyle. 

Remember, the key is finding what works for you. Ask yourself: Is this sustainable and does it fit into my lifestyle? If yes, keep going; if not, simplify!
