Preparation is the key to success in most avenues of life, specifically healthy eating. Taking the extra time at home to prep and cook most of your daily meals can help you maintain a healthy body weight and overall lifestyle.
The key to success in the meal prep game is to have a plan and keep it simple. Most people are able to grab something from home for breakfast and come home at night to prepare dinner, but lunch is an area that many people struggle with. Here are some tips for easy and healthy on-the-go lunches.
Buying whole grains, such as quinoa, barley, or brown rice, and cooking up a batch of them ahead of time can really help with meal prep. Most grocery stores sell brands that only take 10 to 15 minutes to cook. You can easily add sautéed veggies, beans, and your favorite protein to the mix for a quick and easy on-the-go meal.
Most grocery stores sell pre-cut veggies, or you can cut them yourself and keep them in Ziploc bags or plastic containers. Vegetables, such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, celery, and many leafy greens, can be chopped up and kept on hand to add to a stir-fry or into a grains dish for nutrients and extra flavor.
Having your favorite protein cooked and ready to go is ideal for animal protein eaters. They can be seasoned with your favorite spices and left in Tupperware, so each day, they’re ready to be added alongside your pre-cooked grains and vegetables. Lean chicken or turkey is best, as fish can get odorous sitting in Tupperware for extended periods of time. For vegetarians, having your beans or meat substitutes prepared and seasoned as you would like them can help decrease your prep time as well.
Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring! Having the right kinds of spices can really make a difference. Pick seasonings that are chemical and filler-free and have very low sodium levels. There are so many to choose from – garlic powder, curry, cumin, lemon pepper, turmeric, chili pepper, oregano, basil, etc. Use a variety so you don’t get bored with your dishes.
