You guys know I’m crazy about Sunday Food Prep, right?
Here’s a QUICK list of some of the items I Prep on Sunday….
Visit my Healthy Recipes or Click Here and find loads of Healthy Recipe Ideas to help you PREP for the week.
1) Snacking veggies– Raw veggies make a great snack. They’re easy to prep ahead of time and you can throw them in your lunch box, the kids from munch on them after school or you can enjoy some while making dinner!
2) Breakfast Foods– There are tons of great breakfast options that you can make ahead of time so you don’t have to spend time cooking in the morning. This also gives you no excuse to skip breakfast!
3) Whole Grains – It’s easy to cook up a big batch of your favorite grain to have on hand. Cook it on Sunday and add to meals during the week.
4) Snacks – It’s important to have healthy snacks on hand that you can turn to during the week. There are tons of snacks that can be made ahead of time to help keep you from reaching for unhealthy choices.
5) Greens for Salad– I’ve found that having salad greens washed and ready to go exponentially increases the chances that we’ll eat a salad every night with dinner. You can use leaf lettuce, spinach, kale etc.
6) Baked/Roasted Veggies – If you’re using the oven anyways during your food prep time, you might as well wrap a few potatoes in foil and throw them in the oven! If you’re not a fan of potatoes, chop up some of your favorite veggies and roast up a big pan
7) Lean Proteins – If you’re a meat-eater, why not cook some of your meat head of time for less weeknight cooking.
8) Beans & Legumes – Even if you’re not a completely plant-based eater, it’s still a great idea to add some plant-based proteins to your diet. I buy dried beans, cook a whole bag at a time and freeze the extras. You can do the same thing with lentils! Then just pull them out when you need them and add them to whatever you’re cooking.
9) Soup – Soup is an great way to pack tons of nutrients into one easy meal.
10) Hard Boiled Eggs – These are great for almost any meal. Cook them on the stove or use this tip to cook them in the oven. I like to cook mine in my pressure cooker!
