Meal prepping sounds amazing in theory, but there are many people who have tried it and realized that they simply hate it. We get that – not everybody can eat the same meal for days on end just because it’s convenient to cook everything once and pack it in little containers. Luckily, there are some tips that you can use to make meal prepping more bearable and you may even end up liking it.
Prep Staples
You don’t have to prepare whole meals in advance to make your life easier; sometimes, all you need to do is prepare staples you know you’ll need every day. Pre-chop fruits and veggies, cook rice or quinoa, etc.
Switch it Up
There’s no rule that says you have to have the same dinner every night for the whole week. You can, for example, roast a chicken and use it in different ways every day. The same goes for grilled tofu, brown rice, and many other “plain” meals.
Don’t Use Plastic Containers
Unless you have to take your food with you outside of the home, there’s really no reason to store it in plastic containers, no matter how much they are associated with the idea of meal prep. You can use bowls and other dishes you already have at home!
