What is Meal Prep?

Meal prep (short for preparation) is the art of planning, preparing and storing meals in advance. Many people meal prep on a weekly basis, but there are many ways to approach meal prep. You can go all in and meal prep your breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the entire week, or just focus on one meal per day, or periodically prepare a batch of freezer meals to keep on hand. Yeap, Instant Pot meal prep gives you quick, easy access to delicious meals just when you need them.

 

Why Meal Prep?

Save Money

By planning your meals in advance, you will avoid those impulse trips to the drive-thru or ordering takeout when you’re too tired to cook. And you can look for deals at the grocery store since you’ll know exactly what you need to buy.

Save Time

While you will invest some time upfront to plan and prepare your meals, meal prep will save you time overall. And once you know what meals you will be eating for the week, grocery shopping will be a breeze! Hit the store prepared with a list of exactly what you need and you’ll be in and out in no time.

Reduce Stress

Thanks to meal prep, you can say goodbye to the stress of figuring out “what’s for dinner” at the end of those hectic days. 

Reduce Waste

When you meal prep you plan, purchase, and use up all of your ingredients. No more tossing out unused or forgotten food!

Improve Health

Planning your meals in advance is key to healthier eating. You know exactly what you are putting into your body, and how much. Plus a weekly meal prep routine means better portion control. Better nutrition and mindful portions are key when it comes to weight loss and other health goals. Related : Best Glass Meal Prep Glass Containers.
