So what exactly is meal prepping? For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, essentially it is planning and prepping your meals in advance for the week. I prep my breakfasts for the week, cut up my cucumbers and any other fresh veggies/fruits that need slicing, as well as all my dinners for the week. With graduate school and subbing starting up again, my life is back to super busy, as I'm sure all of you are experiencing as well! I made this Meal Prep for Beginners guide to help you whether you're a student, in the work field, or have a family of your own, the beginning of the year can be a bit stressful! Eliminate the stress and time factor of having to cook every single night by meal prepping! It saves you time in the kitchen and helps keep you on track with healthy eating! You can prep and plan for just dinners, lunch and dinner, or even all three meals of the day and snacks too! The amount of prep you do, depends on how much time you have to dedicate to prepping and your personal preferences.
