Michael Kerr • 19 April 2020
The body Now that I am back at work following my maternity leave, my weekly meal prep is back to being an essential part of my weekly routine.
5 EASY TIPS TO HELP WITH MEAL PREP + PLANNING
1️. Try a meal planning app like Paprika Recipe Manager
The app lets you store recipes, plan your weekly meals and generate a grocery list
Make sure to record new meals that you tried and loved
2. Invest in high quality storage containers ▪️Glass is better for microwaving than plastic!
Pre-portion your lunches for the week to save time in the morning
3️. Stock up on pantry essentials
Whole grains: whole wheat pasta, brown rice, quinoa, oats
Legumes: black beans, lentils, chickpeas *canned or dry
Canned goods: low sodium broth, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, artichokes
Oils: olive, avocado, coconut
Baking essentials: flour, baking soda, baking powder, corn starch
Nuts & Seeds: peanut butter, almond butter, unsalted almonds & walnuts
4️. Set a consistent time every week
I dedicate Sunday mornings to planning out our meals for the week and grocery shopping, and I typically do meal prep for the week on Sunday afternoons
5. Always have a list ready when you go grocery shopping – and never go when you are hungry!

Every Sunday, I take time to prep our lunches for the upcoming week. I find it a massive pain in the ass every single week. I find it challenging to think of new ideas for meals I want to eat for an entire week, that keep well, and are tasty and delicious. But if I don’t meal prep, I regret it for the entire week. So (almost) no matter what, I get it done. This is one of my favourite meal prep recipes. It’s quick and easy, keeps well all week long and provides tons of fiber. My favourite kind of recipe!
This is bomb. Creamy and delicious, just the way Alfredo should be. Minus all the saturated fat of a traditional Alfredo sauce 🙌
