Do you want to meal prep with a low budget?Are you ready to get started with meal pepping? Cook today and eat for a week!
If you don't know everything that meal prepping entails, this is a great place to start. You've probably heard of meal prepping before, but you may be confused on what it really means. Do you prep the meal the hour before, the day before, the week before? How is it done? These are some common and very relevant questions.
Meal prepping is when you make all your meals in advance for the next week or a certain amount of time. Meal prepping can be done by either cooking all your food one day for the rest of the week, or it can be done by assembling all your meals to freeze them for the next month! Either way is a great way to meal prep, they just require different steps. You get to choose how often you meal prep and for how many meals you want to meal prep. Maybe one week you want to meal prep all of your meals and the next week just breakfast. This is doable! Your meal prep journey is completely up to you.
Many people choose to meal prep because they can assemble the meals ahead of time without having to think about it every morning, afternoon, and night. How many times have you stared in your fridge and felt hopeless about your selection? Sometimes you might even go back to the fridge five different times before you realize there really isn't anything good to eat! Meal prepping can help ensure that when you need something to eat, you will be choosing a healthy and nutritious meal. Often when we try to become healthier, we get stuck in our busy lives. We try to find the healthiest fast food available but even a salad can be packed with tons of sugar and sodium.
There are many ways that meal prepping can help your stress levels. Firstly, meal prepping forces you to have a plan. There is fun in spontaneity, but we can all admit that when you have a plan, there is less stress. Humans like to know how things are going to happen and when things are going to happen. Therefore, we thrive when we create plans.You will not have to stress when lunchtime or dinnertime comes around because your meal will already be cooked. Providing food for a family can be one of the most stressful things you do! You don't want to cook them unhealthy options and you most definitely don't want to cook the same thing every week.

Having a plan isn't the only benefit to meal prepping. When you plan your meals, you also plan your groceries. Going to the grocery store can be overwhelming. How many times have you gone to the store, picked up your groceries, and then arrived home realizing you forget a few items? Too many times! You try to write a list for the upcoming week but if you don't know what meals you are planning to make, how can you make a correct grocery list? You can't. So, when you arrive home, you realize you forgot a few items, and now you are immediately stressed that you have to go back to the store. With meal prepping, this doesn't happen. You go to the store with a grocery list in hand and you leave the store with only the items you need. This leads to a lot of lesser stress.
