Meal planning/prepping is the key to eating healthy. The good news is that you don’t have to be a super organized person to prep meals – you just need to keep certain ingredients on hand! Let’s think for a moment about what exactly we need when figuring out how to prep meals…

Meal planning tips

1.Once a week, go to the grocery store and stock your freezer full of chicken, fish and lean meat. I have a family of 6 so I buy 2+ pounds of chicken, fish and lean meat each week.

2.Keep your pantry stocked with a variety of ingredients

• Canned organic tomatoes
• Canned organic beans
• Lentils
• Brown rice
• Pasta
• Dried herbs and spices
• Olive oil
• Canola oil
• Sesame oil

3.Keep multiple sauces and broth on hand

• Marinara
• Mustard
• Pesto
• Soy sauce
• Enchilada sauce
• Veggie, chicken and beef broth

If you follow these simple steps, you can make a meal in a snap!
