Are you Time Poor?
Here’s a way to save some time, eat healthily and not be a slave to the kitchen!
If you have time on Sunday, it is a fantastic idea to plan and prep ahead. Not only does it mean you have healthy food choices without having to think during the week, but you save time each night and can have more quality time with the family.
I like to call it POP
P - Plan
O - Organise
P - Prepare
Plan -get out your recipe book and meal planner and work out what meals you are going to eat for the week. Include your snacks and all 3 main meals.
You don't need 7 different lunches and 7 different dinners. Some lunches can be leftovers from the previous night's dinner, or you can have 3 dinners and alternate them each night. This is a great way to save time by not cooking every night, AND you will save money as you always have some food left over for those nights when you can’t be bothered (so no reaching for the Uber delivery).
Organise - work out what ingredients you need and write your shopping list. Check your cupboard as there may be ingredients you already have.
Prepare - get cooking. Cook double or triple and freeze where you can so that you can just take out and reheat each day.
Have fun and enjoy your extra free time!
