Healthy Wealthy and Wise!

Meal prepping is a great way to keep on track with what you are eating, it can help with weight loss, saving money, minimizing waste, and can also save a ton of time throughout the week that can be used to benefit your good health.


According to Good Housekeeping Magazine, there are three common techniques for food prepping:


• Make big recipes at once (like on the weekend) and freeze or save them for later use

• Individually proportion prepared food into individual or dinner-size portions

• Prepped ingredients – chopping, peeling, slicing, or roasting beforehand to use throughout the week in your preplanned recipes
