Meal Prep Simplified
I start with some frozen veggies. I divide each bag across 3 containers.
While I do prepare some fresh veggies from time to time, frozen ones have been my main go-tos.
They are likely fresher than what’s on the shelf at the store because they are processed closer to picking.
They also offer greater variety in each bag than I have the time or desire to prepare.
Next, I added some ground turkey. I cooked up about 40 ounces worth. Oddly enough, I have been craving it lately! Ground turkey used to be one of my least favorite meats, but now I really like it.
I might add some barbecue sauce or other sauce at the time of eating for additional flavor. I have a fairly simple palate though and often find that I still enjoy it plain.
I will be adding some roasted potatoes to the meal. Before doing that, I am already at 40 grams of protein per serving.
I’d say it took me about 20 minutes to pull together. I sat down and had my lunch while it was cooking. I by no means slaved over the stove to do this and voila, I have 6 meals ready to go. With this meal, I could put some of them in the freezer for a later time if I didn’t feel like eating for the next few days. My choice!
My encouragement for you is to adapt this in a way that works for you.
You can swap out the veggies I happened to choose with ones you prefer. Veggies not only provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber which help with overall health, but they also help you stay fuller longer which will help with overall weight and hunger management.
You can also trade out ground turkey for whatever main protein ingredient you’d prefer.
