Here are some healthy meal prep ideas:
Breakfast
• Overnight oats: Combine oats, milk, yogurt, and your favorite toppings (fruit, nuts, seeds, etc.) in a jar or container. Let sit overnight in the fridge, and enjoy in the morning.
• Smoothies: Blend together your favourite fruits, yogurt, and milk for a quick and nutritious breakfast.
Lunch & Dinner
• Sandwiches and wraps: Use whole-wheat bread or tortillas, and fill with lean protein, vegetables, and cheese.
• Stir-fries: Stir-fries are another quick and easy option for busy parents. Simply stir-fry your favorite protein and vegetables with some sauce until cooked through.
• Slow cooker meals: Slow cooker meals are a great way to come home to a cooked meal after a long day.
Snacks
• Fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth and get some essential nutrients.
• Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds are a good source of protein and healthy fats.
• Yogurt: Yogurt is a good source of protein and calcium. It can also be topped with fruits, nuts, and seeds for a more satisfying snack.
Meal prepping can take some time upfront, but it’s worth it in the long run. By having healthy meals and snacks prepared ahead of time, you’ll be less likely to reach for unhealthy options when you’re short on time.
