It’s Food Prep Sunday again! The weeks seem to go by so fast! We’ve talked about food prep many times before but we wanted to give you a quick peek into our fridge (pantry coming soon!).
We usually do our grocery shopping on Saturday or Sunday morning so that our fridge is stocked with the items we need for food prep. You can view our grocery list here and also get food prep tips and tricks in our Meal Prep eBook here.
Stock your fridge with lean protein (chicken, lean turkey), complex carbohydrates (brown rice, sweet potatoes {after cooked}), healthy fats (natural peanut butter), and organic fruits and vegetables so you will have healthy meals to last the whole week!
Below is a list of items that we always keep on hand in our fridge.
- Organic Eggs
- Cartons of Pasteurized Liquid Eggs Whites (added to protein shakes for extra protein)
- Unsweetened Almond Milk
- Natural Peanut Butter
- Greek Yogurt
- Organic Spinach
Below is what is on our food prep menu for today.
As we have stated before, everyone is different so the amount of food you will need to cook will vary. Below are some guidelines from our Ultimate Guide to Meal Prep (A Step-by-Step Guide) to help you can plan on how much to prep.
- Plan your needs based on the fact that you will eat every 2-3 hours and DO NOT skip meals.
- Meals should be between 200-400 calories depending on personal caloric need.
- Each meal should consist of a lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and vegetables. It is also recommended to get 2-3 servings of healthy fats per day.
