Picture
Ashley shared her tips for meal prepping with Patrick. Now she's back with Kayla Hevey on Mass Appeal to show you how to take that prep and make a really easy weeknight dinner for when things get busy!
Food Prep Tips:
  • Pick two kinds of proteins you want to prep for the week. For example, roast some chicken and cook some ground meat of choice for tacos, grain bowls etc.
  • Make sure you have a plan of the meals you want to make for the week. That way you can prep accordingly and use your time efficiently.
  • Pick one grain or pasta to prepare for the week.
  • I prep at least 3 cooked vegetables. For example, roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed broccoli or air fried brussels sprouts.
  • Optional: One salad dressing and an easy dessert/snack to have for the week.
  • Wash and cut any other vegetables that you will need for the week. This will save time for when you go to make your meal every night.
  • Make sure to have enough storage containers for all your prepped ingredients.
