How many times have you told yourself you'll start food prepping on Sunday so you'll follow up with your healthy habits during your super-busy week? Same here! The key to beginning your food prepping journey is to start small and keep it basic. If you decide to make a huge batch of lasagna and a huge batch of muffins, then you will probably feel overwhelmed.
Why not set yourself smaller goals then? Goals that feel attainable and don't involve spending a whole day in the kitchen. Ok, imagine telling yourself you'll cook up some quinoa, steam some broccoli and make a few overnight oats in a jar. Better right? Sometimes less is more. Stick to basics and have the foundations to improvise during the week without stress.
Excited to start your food prepping journey? Let's begin with this quinoa salad!
