Many clients of mine including myself find it a real
challenge each week to whip out delicious and nutritious breakfasts, lunch, and
dinners for ourselves and our families. Here
is a tip that will make your life easier by giving you more time during the
week, and a happier stomach.
THE TIP….PLAN OUT AND PREP OUT YOUR MEALS!
 |
| Above is my Sunday Prep Out. I made all my salads, cut up fruit, separated the trail mix, and even made a chili! |
Every Sunday afternoon will find me at my dining room table
doing ONE thing. Planning out my weeks’
worth of food. Here is how to do it: For
starters, all you need is a little bit of free time and lots of Tupperware.
PLAN OUT:
·
Get two sheets of blank paper. One for your “shopping list” and the other to
“list your recipes and mark where they came from” (example: Turkey Meat Balls;
Paleo Cook Book, page 27)
·
Choose 3-5 major dinner meals & add all the
ingredients to your shopping list
·
Choose your lunch themes: add ingredients to your shopping list
Perhaps…
o
veggie
salads with a hard boiled egg
o
Turkey slice roll-up
o
Fruit
o
Trail mix
·
At your convenience go to the food store. When you return its PREP OUT TIME!
PREP OUT:
·
Be ready to donate 1-2 hours of cooking/prepping…
(I know that’s a long time, but this will make prep time and cook time that
much faster during the week.)
·
Pre-make salads (don’t forget to boil your
eggs!)
·
Pre wrap trail mix and other snacks into serving
sizes (the easier for you to grab on the go)
·
Prep out veggies for lunch and dinners by
cutting them and properly storing from (the easier for you to whip out that
awesome dinner!)
·
BAM you’re ready for an easy week! I encourage
you try this.
