5 Meal Prep Hacks That Save Time Without Sacrificing Nutrition

By

1. Choose a Base Protein and Remix It

Cook one big batch of chicken or lentils, then switch up the sauces and sides. Monday: Chicken + Roasted Veg. Tuesday: Chicken Wrap. Wednesday: Chicken Fried Rice.

2. Invest in Good Containers

Use stackable, microwave-safe containers with compartments. This keeps meals organized and prevents sogginess.

3. Wash & Chop Once, Use Often

After grocery shopping, wash and chop all your veg. Store them dry in paper towel–lined containers to last the whole week.

4. Use the Freezer Wisely

Double recipes and freeze half in meal-sized portions. Your future self will thank you on busy days.

5. Keep It Simple

Stick to meals with 5–7 ingredients. Think: grain + protein + sauce + veg. Easy to prep, easy to eat.

These hacks are perfect for anyone juggling work, family, and everything else — because healthy eating shouldn’t be a full-time job.
