Is this you or can you relate? 😂👇😓
We ALL get tired of meal prep sometimes… Even me, and I’m a professional chef. 🤣
Don’t let a fear of meal prep and a few dishes stand between you and your health and weight loss goals! 💪
So, if you’d like to be more consistent with your healthy cooking and eating goals, but don’t have a ton of time (or patience) then you’re going to love this month’s bulk-cooking recipes all about:
In each of these recipes you’ll stock up on healthy prep and leftovers that can be stored in the fridge or freezer for many meals to come 🥳
Read below for tips to get your fridge and freezer filled with nourishing foods, with minimal effort!
Here are a few tips on getting efficient with recipe prep and production:
✅(1) Prep More Veggies, Eat More Veggies : Cleaning and prepping your produce for the week ahead will save you time, and clean up. Having those vegetables ready to go will make salads, soups, and stir fry’s an easy answer on long days. 🥗
✅(2) Big Batch Sauces: Making one large batch of sauce to store or freeze will set you up for a variety of meals, and save you from the extra sugars and sodiums most store brands contain. The same goes for vinaigrettes! 🥫
✅(3) Double Up When Baking: Baked items freeze and reheat beautifully, and they are simple to double or triple. Next time you are making muffins or bread, double the recipe and you can freeze or gift away the extras. 🍞
Through bulk cooking you’ll find ways to make nourishment a streamlined routine, and truly set yourself up for success!
Here’s a peek at a few of this month’s recipes:
Zucchini Noodle-less Lasagna with Cashew Alfredo Sauce
In this lasagna we swap out the processed noodles with planks of zucchini, reducing the impact on blood sugars big time.
We also pack this lasagna full with other vegetables like mushrooms and spinach, bringing in lots of antioxidants to help with digestion, “brain fog” and cell protection. From there, we bring everything together with our cream-free Alfredo sauce, made from heart healthy cashews and yet more veggies!
In this salad we have whole grains and beans- combined this will form a complete protein which will keep your energy levels stable and strong hours after eating.
The sweet potatoes will also keep hunger satisfied thanks to their extra fiber and resistant starch. The best part is, these store great- so you can make a wide variety for the week all at once, then grab and go on busy days!
Homemade Tomato Sauce with Roasted Spaghetti Squash
The star of this is spaghetti squash, and it is exactly what it sounds like! But unlike classic noodles, these are packed with fiber and will keep your blood sugars and energy levels balanced.
The classic tomato sauce alongside it shines from just few simple, whole ingredients. Filled with Vitamin C and numerous antioxidants, this is a comforting sauce that will help prevent both common illnesses and long-term chronic disease, supporting both body and mind.
