Healthy Meal Prep Recipes for the Week

 Healthy Meal Prep Recipes for the Week

 Eating healthily may seem like a luxury if you have a busy schedule and are constantly on the go. I've been there, so believe me. We hardly have time to cook, much less prepare wholesome meals for the entire week, between work, home, and everything else. The good news is that meal planning can make all the difference. Mostly out of frustration, I began meal planning last year. I was ordering food for too much money and then feeling bad about it. I made the decision to plan ahead, and to my surprise, it wasn't as hard as I had anticipated. The finest aspect? It can be made without expensive ingredients or the expertise of a chef. Allow me to demonstrate some of my favorite healthy meal preparation techniques.

Meal Prep: Why? 

Here's why I strongly suggest meal planning before we dive into the recipes:

Saves time by cooking only once and eating it several times. reduces last-minute ordering and snack purchases, saving money. 

Healthier options: You have complete control over the ingredients in your food. 

Less stress: You won't have to guess what to eat every day.

Alright, let's move on to the exciting part: the recipes!
