Dish Out Meal Prep With a Few Easy Tricks

Let’s be honest: Cooking every day can be a hassle, especially for busy people or those who simply want to spend time doing something else. That’s where meal prepping can become a valuable tool to save time and money while ensuring you have something healthy to eat. Thankfully, you can find many ways to make meal prep fast and easy while keeping things exciting for your taste buds. Let’s look at four ways to level up your meal prep game. Use frozen veggies. Frozen vegetables are a lifesaver for quick and nutritious meal prep. These veggies are usually flash-frozen at peak ripeness, so they retain most of their nutrients. They can be thrown directly into stir-fries, casseroles, or soups without chopping or pre-cooking. This reduces prep and cooking time, making it easier to maintain a healthy diet. Moreover, you can freeze vegetables for up to 8–12 months, so you can always keep a variety on hand whenever you need them. The slow cooker is your friend. The internet has innumerable simple, one-pot recipes you can make in a slow cooker. The best thing about a slow cooker is that you throw all of your ingredients in at once, then set it and forget it. You can make a lot of food with little effort and divide the leftovers to eat later.

Get creative with catering. Many restaurants offer a catering menu where you can order large amounts of already-cooked food. While you have to check prices, some restaurants like Chipotle offer large quantities of food at a reasonable cost. Even if it is a little more expensive than the grocery store, saving that extra time might be worth it. Use condiments to enhance flavor. Utilizing condiments wisely can elevate your meals from bland to grand without adding much cook time. Make a batch of versatile sauces or dressings during your meal prep sessions. For example, you can use a good vinaigrette as a salad dressing, a marinade for meat, or a dip for veggies. By premaking these, you can instantly add flavor to your dishes. Premeasure the amounts to accompany each meal for better portion control. This way, you save time and watch your calorie intake.
