Whether or not you enjoy meal prepping, having balanced snacks on hand helps make food prep or lunch packing extra easy! I'll frequently update this list so come back to it when you need ideas!
Pick a time that works for you to plan out some ideas for what you may like to eat for the week.
Gather groceries via pick-up, delivery or a supermarket sweep style.
Wash fruits and veggies in water once home and prepare what makes sense ahead of time.
Cut celery and carrot sticks and store them in an airtight container in water to keep extra fresh.
I've recently had success storing berries in mason jars (pre-wash) but my kids go through them so fast it's usually not a problem to have them go bad.
To save money, purchase block cheese instead of cheese sticks for snacks and cube them, storing in a bag or an airtight container.
Marinate any proteins ahead of time.
Cook grains in bulk batches for the week.
Purchase bread in bulk and store extra in the freezer.
Pre-make pizza dough and portion, freezing any extra.
Purchase frozen fruit over fresh for smoothies and protein shakes.
