Not a fan of meal prep? I get it!
Spending hours chopping, cooking, and portioning out food for the week sounds great in theory… but some weeks? It can feel like too much.
The good news? You don’t have to cook a thing to meal prep.
Instead of spending a whole afternoon in the kitchen, try this:
👉 Stock your kitchen with grab-and-go staples—things that require little to no effort to throw together.
Here’s what that looks like:
✔️ Proteins: Rotisserie chicken, canned tuna, hard-boiled eggs, pre-cooked shrimp
✔️ Carbs: Microwave quinoa, frozen brown rice, whole wheat wraps
✔️ Veggies: Pre-washed salad greens, baby carrots, frozen stir-fry mixes
✔️ Fats: Hummus, guacamole cups, pre-portioned nuts
✔️ Snacks: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, protein bars
✔️ Carbs: Microwave quinoa, frozen brown rice, whole wheat wraps
✔️ Veggies: Pre-washed salad greens, baby carrots, frozen stir-fry mixes
✔️ Fats: Hummus, guacamole cups, pre-portioned nuts
✔️ Snacks: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, protein bars
Pair any protein + carb + veggie + fat = Instant meal.
Examples:
🥗 Throw rotisserie chicken on a salad.
🌯 Wrap tuna and greens in a whole wheat tortilla.
🍛 Heat up pre-cooked rice + frozen stir-fry veggies + shrimp.
