Simplify Your Week with Stress Free Meal Prep and Batch Cooking

Meal prep can be a great way to save time, money and eat healthier. However, staying in the habit of prepping meals can be challenging. One way to make this habit easier is by creating a Sunday(or any day that works for you) meal prep system. This system will enable you to plan your meals for the week so that you have all the ingredients on hand and know exactly what to cook each day. 

Once you have that time carved out, another tip is to do batch cooking. Batch cooking is a great way to save time and money while ensuring that you always have nutritious meals. It's like batching any other task – it allows you to do multiple things simultaneously, saving you time and energy. So, if you're looking for an easy way to plan weekly meals without spending hours in the kitchen daily, batch cooking might be the perfect fit.

You're not alone; your relationship with food can be tricky and challenging to navigate. One tremendous help is learning to tap into your intuition and use it to improve your relationship with food and balance your eating patterns in a way that feels tailored to you.
