FOOD PREP!
Big shop day and food prep day (aka Sunday/Monday) are 2 of my favourite days of the week. “Get a life” right? Au contraire my friend ☝🏼….I actually find I have more time to myself if I do this, therefore more time for ‘life’, so there’s a flaw in your uneducated logic…Allow me to explain…
The benefits of prepping
🍆🥦🥑🥒🍠🍅🍠🥕
1. Stay on track with your diet – Your food is within reach when you’re hungry instead of grabbing snacks on the go.
2. Cheaper “big shop”! – Make a list of the meals you want, if you know what you’re eating you’ll buy less sh*t.
3. Less temptation – Again, skip straight past the sweet aisle! Make a list and stick to it.
4. Saves time! – Spend a couple of hours on a Sunday sorting it out and you’ll have every morning, midday and evening to yourself throughout the week.
5. Therapeutic -This may be subjective but it makes me feel ready for the week. Small feeling of accomplishment as you tub everything up and it’s there ready to go! 👍🏼
6. Less cleaning 😜 – Less pots to wash daily
7. Less wastage – If you’ve cooked all the food you’ve bought on big shop day, there’ll be less “gone off” food at the end of the week
So give it a go! I couldn’t cope cooking every evening, although it does work for some…if you’re planning a busy week ahead but need to stick to your diet, prepping can alleviate a lot of pressure.
Have a great week all!
