Wash Fruit Immediately

If you want to make fruit conveniently available at all times, the best thing you can do is to wash and prep it as soon as you get home with it. Separate it into containers and enjoy a healthy snack whenever you want.

Roast Veggies Together

You know how one-pan meals are amazing because you don’t have to wash a ton of dishes later? Apply the same principle to meal prepping and roast three or four types of vegetables together. Save time on cooking and on washing up!

Cook Meat In No Time

Similarly, you can cook two or three types of meat at once if you wrap each in aluminum foil. Cook chicken, pork, or fish flavored with different seasonings and you’ll have enough meat for a week’s worth of sandwiches, wraps, burritos, and salads.

Make Healthy Snack Portions

If you enjoy healthy snacks like nuts, you already know that they are dense in calories. It’s a good idea to portion them out for the week so you can have just a little and avoid mindlessly eating too much.

The best thing you can do to prepare vegetables in advance is to clean and even cook them so they are ready to be used. This way, you’ll have them conveniently portioned and stacked in the fridge, waiting for you to take a portion whenever you want.

You simply clean and wash the greens you bought, such as kale, spinach, Swiss chard, etc. Cook the leaves until they become soft. You can do this with some oil in a wide dish or steam the vegetables over a pot with simmering water. Once they are done, remove them from the liquid and leave them to cool. Season with your favorite dressing – some olive oil and salt are enough. This will allow them to stay neutral so you can use them with many different meals. Pack in small airtight containers and keep them in the fridge for around a week!

Fret not! There are still many ways for you to get in protein quickly by following these simple tips and recipes.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Eating an egg is a great source of protein, and if you hard boil them, you don’t have to add any fat or oil to cook them. Boil as many as you want at a time and keep them in your refrigerator, so you can quickly pull them out and peel them whenever you need a quick boost.

Hummus

Hummus is made of chickpeas and tahini, which are both sources of plant-based protein. Spread a couple tablespoons on some rice cakes, much of which only has 30 calories per cake, and you have a low calorie but incredibly high protein snack!

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are a great source of plant-based protein, as long as you grind them up so they are easier to digest. Sprinkle some on top of a banana, your favorite toast, or really just about anything to transform it into a protein-packed snack.

Cook Everything at Once

You don’t want to spend time and cook everything separately. You will save time and money. In the end, there will be no difference in the way that the meals taste. One of the most meal prep tips you’ll ever hear.

Make A Shopping List

Always make a thorough shopping list with literally everything you need for the week. In the beginning, it might be hard to anticipate every single detail, but you’ll know for next time.

Buy Mason Jars

This is the jar you’ve been seeing everywhere. Mason jars are amazing, pretty and extremely useful. You can use them in the microwave and store all types of foods. Dishwasher-friendly, plus only cost a dollar. Ideal for salads, keep the dressing on the bottom and the veggies on top. Meal prep was just upgraded.
