The benefits of meal prep

Meal prep comes in many forms. You can make your meals ahead and store them in the fridge or freezer, or simply pre-prepare loose ingredients. You can batch cook and freeze a whole load of recipes too, from soups to stews and one-pot delights. The big benefits of meal prep are easy to spot: you save time and money, and reduce food waste. But is meal prep right for you? The answer is usually ‘yes!’ It’s all about finding what works for you. For example, if breakfast causes you grief, it’s among the simplest week-long meals to pre-prepare – think overnight oats, fruit pots & granola mixes. Dinner is a tad trickier to prep and keep variety. If you suffer from recipe fatigue, eating the same thing over and over, you might want to try a meal prep service; easy-to-make meals, pre-portioned ingredients & tons of recipe variety – what’s not to love?

Hundreds of meal prep ideas

If you opt for batch cooking, an important tool to success is a set of food containers. You’ll want multi-size containers that are freezer durable and perfect for single to family portioning. Reusable freezer bags are also a must. Prep any meal that holds up well in storage and won’t change in taste. Cooked meats, roasted veggies, stews, sauces, and soups are ideal. Use dependable recipes, too – it’s no good choosing a complicated meal prep only to discover you don’t like the taste! Of course, there is an alternative for those who want to save time but who demand variety in their meal plans. Meal prep services rather save time on portioning ingredients, finding exciting recipes and sourcing everything for you – meaning you still get the joy of cooking something new each night, just with less hassle!
