Hey busy mamas, I want to share a few meal prep ideas that will save you time. Meal prepping isn’t just for fitness junkies. It’s a smart way of getting through the week eating well while saving time, so you can PAMPER yourself later! And if you don't already know it, you definitely deserve to be pampered.
Double Batch Freezer-Friendly Meals
If you're already making a big portion of a freezer-friendly meal, such as lasagna, then go ahead and make a double batch. Simply cut and freeze the uneaten half for a quick reheated meal later in the week. You'll be so happy when you simply pull that pre-made meal out.
Prepare Easy Smoothie Bags and Freeze
If you’re a fan of smoothies like I am, then consider preparing smoothie bags. Chop up your fruit and any other ingredients, throw in a freezer bag, and save. Having ready-to-go portions is great for breakfasts-to-go or for families that like to make smoothies. I write the date on my bags.
Take Advantage of Your Slow Cooker & Instant Pot
I'm a big crockpot & Instant Pot fan, so break out your dusty crockpot and put it to work. Very large slow cookers make it super easy to make big batches of stews, soups, casseroles, and other dishes in advance. Divide into portions and freeze (or refrigerate). Using a slow cooker is so fast and it takes care of itself so you don't have to babysit it. Use the Instant Pot to make fast meals that are also large enough to freeze into individual servings. Then use that time you saved and schedule a little pampering time. Remember, you deserve it, Mom!
Pamper time.
Keep in mind that there are no hard or fast rules for meal prepping. Do what works for you and your family, maybe even meals in a jar. The key to meal prepping is that you save time you can use elsewhere. I suggest you ask a loved one to give you an oily massage. It will be like a day at the spa without the expense.
So, who is ready to start meal prepping?
