Food prep hacks

Cooking your food, especially in large quantities in advance, can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be!

There are many tricks of the trade to help you cut your meal prep time down and eliminate the stress that comes along with following a healthy eating plan.

Check out these popular meal prep ideas:

• Use big-batch cooking to create one-pot dishes that will last you for days. Whip up a healthy chili, stew, or curry in a crockpot and serve over your favorite grains. Keep the grains separate before serving and top them with fresh herbs to make them taste extra fresh. 
• Buy pre-chopped ingredients such as veggies, bagged salads, and frozen and canned produce to minimize prep time.
• Make healthy breakfast or lunch burritos, wrap them in foil, and freeze for later 
• Change it up with healthy toppings, add-ons, sauces, and marinades

Losing weight takes time but learning to meal plan, portion, and cook yourself healthy options are important skills that will last you a lifetime and are invaluable to your health.
