Easy And Healthy Meal Prep Ideas If You Hate To Cook

Meal Prep

Meal Prep

Need to meal prep because you have some lofty fitness goals but hate to cook?!? 

NO WAY! ME TOO!

I don’t know about you but I don’t have a lot of free time and I don’t want to spend all of it in the kitchen. Currently, my extra moments are spent having fun outside, which is WAYYYY better than stressing in the kitchen.

In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you my 5-4-3-2-1 method and how easy it is to put a grocery list together as well as what a typical day would look like when you use this magical meal prep method.

MEAL PREP: HOW TO CONSTRUCT HEALTHY MEALS

First, take 10 minutes and put your Cinderella pants on and clean out your kitchen. Chances are if it lives in your kitchen, pantry, fridge, or freezer then at 10pm it will live in your belly! True story!

Try asking, does this support my goals? 

If it’s a YES, keep it. 

If it’s a NOPE, then trash it!

MY 5-4-3-2-1 METHOD TO BUILDING EASY, DELISH, LEAN BODY SCULPTING MEALS

Creating balanced meals with protein + carbs + fat will be bibbty-boppity-DONE when you use this magical method! 

  • 5 Vegetables
  • 4 Proteins
  • 3 Carbs
  • 2 Fats
  • 1 Fruit

PLUS ALL THE SAUCES AND SPICES

A good sauce or seasoning can turn something basic into extra! I love Trader Joe’s spices & Primal Kitchen Brand. 

I prep my 5-4-3-2-1 ingredients on Sundays + Thursdays and BAM…you can assemble any healthy meal on the fly. 

My simple + easy grocery list might look like this….

FIVE VEGGIES:

Spinach, Green Beans, Brussel Sprouts, Baby Carrots, Sugar Snap Peas

FOUR PROTEINS:

Eggs, Chicken Thighs, Ground Turkey Burgers, Salmon

THREE CARBS:

GF Rolled Oats, Sweet Potatoes, Brown Rice

TWO FATS:

Avocados, EVOO

ONE FRUIT:

Organic Fuji Apples

FOOD ASSEMBLY COMBINATION EXAMPLE WILL LOOK LIKE THIS….

BREAKFAST: Eggs, Oats, Spinach & EVOO

LUNCH: Turkey Burgers, Sweet Potato, Avocado, Green Beans

SNACK: Apple or Sugar Snap Peas

DINNER: Salmon, Brown Rice, Brussel Sprouts

Add your favorite sauce or spices and you’ve hit the food jackpot!
