Why Should I Meal Prep?

Simply put, it’s how you can achieve your healthy eating goals and save time!

The process of meal prep involves preparing ingredients and meals for the week. The purpose for many is to have healthy ingredients ready to make feeding yourself and your family easier. If you don’t enjoy cooking and would rather spend your time elsewhere, then meal prepping is your golden ticket!

I started meal prep sixteen years ago when I had a baby in the house, and I was also working full time. It made life easier for me during the week, and it was also a lot of fun! My mum or a friend would sometimes pop around and help, and as our children have grown up, they have started helping with the meal prep. It’s a fantastic way to cope with food intolerances as well. When someone has a food intolerance or allergy, a whole new complication arises in the kitchen, and this can be a headache if you already feel uncomfortable cooking!

Meal prep changed my life. It added a few hours a week to my life, and coming home to cook dinner was no longer a chore. It has taught my family how to cook and how much time goes into this, and it has also taught us that it’s a great family thing we can do together. We have also saved a lot of money through meal prep and we are no longer stuck to the same meals every night. We experiment with new dishes and see what new food we enjoy.
