Nutrition
By Nancy Adler
Meal preparation can make it easier to stay on your journey of health. Cooking in big batches ahead of time at the start of the week, you’ll always have a healthy meal ready going into your busy day.
Eating the same foods day after day can be boring and unmotivating. Once you get stuck in the same old chicken and broccoli routine, you may lose interest in eating meals. It helps to have some quick, easily prepared foods that can be the building blocks for meals.
When you are grocery shopping, add more color to your cart with yellow squash, sweet potatoes, and purple yams. The visuals help when prepping the food. Bright colors make the meals enticing.
After you batch, prep, and stash one or two servings in the freezer, you can rotate it into your meal plan. So if you make turkey chili on Monday, set a portion or two aside for the freezer for a great backup meal anytime. Add a salad and you’re ready for that simple nutritious meal without the everyday stress of planning. Keep it simple and healthy!
