Meal Prep 101: 30 Minutes or Less

The perception of meal prep has changed drastically over the past years. What used to be reserved for true meatheads that would spend the entirety of their Sunday is now something that every day people see value in.

In this video, I take you through how I meal prep in the most efficient way possible. Meal prep simply means cooking in bulk. I made 7 meals in 25-minutes – it was 18-minutes of actual cooking that was all done simultaneously.

Here are some of my favorite tips and tricks for meal prepping:
🔘 Always cook in bulk, never make a single-serving of a meal
🔘 Use methods of cooking that allow for the ability to walk away
🔘 Keep protein and vegetables prepped and in the fridge
🔘 Buy pre-chopped vegetables to make prep much quicker
🔘 Fruit is very convenient: oranges, apples, and berries travel very easily
🔘 Microwavable potatoes are a great hack for changing up your carb source
🔘 Use seasoning and low-calorie condiments to add variety to your meals
🔘 Certain foods like rice and seafood don’t last long in the fridge – instead use single-serving microwavable rice and make sure seafood isn’t kept for longer than a couple days
