"Take Control of Your Health: Meal Prep Like a Pro"

Greetings Everyone,

Today I want to talk about the benefits of meal prepping and making healthy options more accessible. Many people struggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle due to their busy schedules, but meal prepping can be a game-changer. By taking a few hours each week to plan and prepare your meals, you can make healthy eating easy and convenient. In this newsletter, I'll share some tips and a recipe to help you get started.

Benefits of Meal Prepping

• Saves Time: When you meal prep, you save time by cooking several meals at once. This means you won't have to cook every day, freeing up time for other activities.

• Saves Money: Meal prepping can also save you money since you're buying ingredients in bulk and using them throughout the week.

• Helps with Portion Control: When you meal prep, you can control the portion sizes and ensure that you're eating the right amount of food for your goals.

• Ensures Nutritional Balance: By preparing your own meals, you can ensure that you're getting all the nutrients you need.

Tips for Successful Meal Prepping

• Plan Ahead: Take some time each week to plan your meals for the upcoming week.

• Keep it Simple: Start with simple recipes and gradually build up to more complex meals.

• Invest in Quality Containers: Use high-quality containers that are freezer and microwave safe to store your meals.

• Use the Right Ingredients: Choose whole, unprocessed foods that are rich in nutrients.

High Protein Overnight Oats

Here's a high protein overnight oats recipe that you can prepare the night before for a quick and easy breakfast:

Tools:

• Mason jars

• Bowl

• Spoon

• Measuring cup

Ingredients:

• 1/2 of a banana (mashed)

• 1/2 cup of rolled oats

• handful of berries

• 3/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk

• about half a scoop of vanilla protein powder

• 1/4 cup of yogurt (I like using skyr because it has more protein)

• Optional toppings: sliced almonds, shredded coconut, fresh berries

Instructions:

1. Mash your banana and add it to a bowl with the oats, berries, and almond milk.

2. Throw it in the microwave or stove top and cook as directed on the oat packaging.

3. Once done add in the yogurt and protein powder and stir until fully mixed.

4. Split the mixture into your mason jars (it should fill about 2-3) and top it off with more yogurt mixed with a little protein powder and some of the optional toppings mentioned above.

5. Close the jars tight and throw them in the fridge.

6. In the morning, give the oats a quick stir and enjoy your high protein overnight oats cold straight from the fridge or heat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Meal prepping can be a game-changer for your health and fitness goals. By taking the time to plan and prepare your meals, you can save time, money, and ensure that you're eating the right foods for your body. Give it a try and see how it can impact your life!

Here’s to a delicious and nutritious week ahead!
