To get started, compile a selection of family favorites and new recipes. Plan to cook in weekly batches to get the most control. You don’t have to pre-cook all your meals; just organize your menu around busier days to help ease your schedule. Want to try making a more complicated recipe? Opt for a day when you have a bit more time. When planning, ensure you’ve got a healthy balance of nutrients. A diet plan is a great way to achieve these goals. Think about seasonality, too; healthy meal prep is best when it includes the vegetables and greens that are at their most flavorful.
It may take some trial and error to achieve success, but that’s okay. You’ll learn to know your portions by instinct – but don’t overdo it! You can also mix up your meal prep plan with exciting midweek recipes that strike the right balance between fast preparation times and maximum taste. Weekly meal kits are one great way to meet these meal prep needs. If the stress of finding great recipes, sourcing ingredients and carefully portioning them is what’s standing in your way, you can rely on Marley Spoon to ease these healthy meal prep woes each and every week!
Healthy meal prep is about planning or cooking your dinners in advance. You can prepare your dishes in one big sitting, pre-portion ingredients, or freeze in batches. It’s the perfect solution for busy schedules and even better for meeting healthy targets. Wholesome meal ideas like curry, casserole or lasagna not only taste great, they freeze perfectly for the next week! Meal prepping ensures you know exactly what you’re getting. Grocery store TV dinners and takeout tend to be high in salt, fat, and sugar; with meal prep, you can enjoy the same convenience without the downsides.
Why does meal prepping work? Because it revolves around your schedule. Cook when you have spare time for the days when you don’t, like late workdays or the kids’ soccer practice evenings. Even better, you can portion leftovers for lunchboxes as a great way to reduce food waste. Healthy meal prep works because you come home to a home-cooked meal plan that’s ready to go. No shopping, very little prep; just eating! It really is that simple. Need more convincing that healthy meals can be so easy to create? Check out the Marley Spoon menu and feel inspired.
Healthy meal prep often involves batch cooking. This can lead to recipe fatigue, as freezable dishes tend to be one-pot offerings.

Planning extensive weekly menus can take time that we often can’t spare. Don’t worry! Healthy meal kits are designed to satisfy impassioned foodies and health-conscious families alike.

You also won’t have to dash to the grocery store or labor in the kitchen; just like any other meal prep plan, you control what and how much you eat. No waste, no fuss. To get started, simply choose the type of meal kit you need. You can opt for up to five days of weekly meals in your delivery. That’s got you covered for those busy weeknights! Feel inspired by new recipes each week, with healthy options always available, alongside family-friendly dishes and meals for special dietary requirements.

I love a single sheet pan dinner. This one was one of my favorites. It tasted so fresh.
