Reply To: How do you meal prep?

At baseline, I have no patience or desire to cook (though I know how). I have terrible decision fatigue after work, so I need to have a plan and stick to it. I tend to get Hello Fresh or Home Chef boxes – 2 meals of 4 servings each- and then cook them all up on Sunday for the week. It helps a ton with the impulse “I’m too exhausted to cook” fast food buys and it feels good to just nuke something that is also healthy and tasty.

Another favorite way of dealing is to have steam-able frozen veggies on hand, and throw a bag into whatever I might be making. We discovered the other day we like the lightly sauced california blend with a pound of plain broccoli florets mixed all together as a side to a protein and starch. Love that for me- so easy!
