Meal Prep: The Secret to Eating Healthy and Saving Time on Busy Weekdays
If you're like most people, your weekday mornings are a mad rush. You have to get yourself ready for the day, make sure everyone else in the family is ready too, and then there's breakfast. It can be hard enough just finding time for that first meal of the day! But if you want to eat healthy meals during busy weekdays? That can seem downright impossible.
Fortunately, there's an easy solution: meal prep! By taking some time out of your weekend or evening (or both!) to plan ahead with delicious recipes and ingredients prepped ahead of time, you'll save yourself tons of stress throughout the week — plus enjoy healthier meals than what takeout usually offers up.
Here are some simple yet tasty meal prep recipes that will help keep your diet on track even when life gets hectic:
-
Overnight Oats — This classic breakfast dish takes just minutes to assemble before bedtime so it’s ready when morning rolls around! Customize it with fresh fruit or yogurt toppings as desired; this recipe makes four servings at once so all you need do is grab one from the fridge each morning before heading out into chaos again!
-
Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls — A slow cooker means dinner practically cooks itself while still delivering big flavor without much effort from its chef (that’d be YOU!). This burrito bowl recipe comes together quickly using chicken breasts as its main protein source; top off each serving with avocado slices for extra creaminess and crunchy tortilla chips for texture contrast… yummmmmm...
-
Meal Prep Quinoa Salad — If salads aren't usually something that excites you about lunchtime but they should be part of a balanced diet nonetheless? Then try this quinoa salad packed full o' veggies like bell peppers & corn plus protein-rich chickpeas & feta cheese crumbles – perfect accompaniment alongside any sandwich wrap or soup bowl combo… mmmmmmmmm...

At 29 years old, my favorite compliment is being told that I look like my mom. Seeing myself in her image, like this daughter up top, makes me so proud of how far I’ve come, and so thankful for where I come from.
