That is a great idea to double the food prep and put half in the freezer!

Love your advice! I’m an advocate of food prep and I do it most of the weekends. I think of it as a motivation to eat at home more often (I don’t succumb to the idea to quickly eat something along the way since I have everything planed and almost ready at home) and I’m making a conscious decision to prep healthy meals for my family. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Angela @ happy fit mama. I do the same. I just cook a little extra on my favorite meals and freeze them in bento boxes. When my husband and I don't feel like cooking we go raid the freezer. No more ordering out. What better?

I love this! I really need to food prep more often. I wrote a post on my blog the other week about food prepping and how it made it so much easier to make good choices during the week and it was so great to have food just ready to grab and go in the fridge. http://runeatsnap.com/budget-friendly-healthy-cooking/ As you can see in this post though I only prepared one large meal and then ate the leftovers the rest of the week. So that can get old pretty fast. Your 5 tips are great because I do get overwhelmed thinking about prepping for the whole week. Thanks!

In reply to Jessica Mendoza-Jaimes. learning to make smaller batches of things helps add variety. Instead of making a huge casserole, make half-sizes of two different things! Or figuring out easy ways to use leftovers. For example, you can make a batch of pulled pork- eat it in lettuce wraps one day, on a sandwich the next, in your salad the third day, etc!

Hi! I love your ideas!! I am a beginner when comes to this stuff.. when I was doing some searching I saw people who prep healthy eat the same thing almost every single day for that week. Is there a way to food prep that adds variety to meals?

I do not food prep. Why? It’s a combination of laziness and being new to cooking. I still generally have no idea what I’m doing in the kitchen (which is TINY) and am unfamiliar with ingredients. Maybe I’ll be able to prep once I get a better grasp of this whole cooking thing. Oh, we also have very little cupboard, fridge, and counter space, which doesn’t help at all.

Great post! I try to food prep to some extent but I would fall into the ‘less involved’ category. I try to cook 1 large dish or casserole on sunday that includes protein, lots of veggies and whole grains. My go-to lately has been baked pasta dishes with chicken. Then I have that available for most of the week to have as either lunch or dinner. I also try to wash and cut those labor-intensive produce products as well and store them in tupperware in the fridge. My summer favorite has been watermelon 🙂

Fantastic post! I usually do some food prep– hard boiling eggs for breakfast/snacks, and I wash/chop veggies. Depending on what we’re having for lunch that week, I’ll start that— either making a bunch of wraps, or a big pot of soup, and I’ll cut up lunch fruit and veggies so that making our lunches is easier during the week!
