When the week gets busy, having healthy meals ready to go can make all the difference. A little planning helps you eat well without the daily stress.
Getting started
- Plan a few meals for the week and write a shopping list.
- Cook in batches, such as a tray of roasted vegetables and a pot of grains.
- Prepare proteins like grilled chicken, lentils or boiled eggs.
- Portion into containers so meals are ready to grab.
Mix and match prepared ingredients to keep meals interesting all week.
Keep food fresh
Store meals in the fridge and use them within a few days, or freeze portions for later in the week.
Start small
Even preparing lunches for a few days can save time and help you make balanced choices.
