Prep Day Instructions
Week 1 Prep Plan
You do NOT have to prep meals ahead of time, but it does cut down on the time it takes to create healthy meals and ensures that you always have food ready to eat. If you choose to prep over the weekend, here are our suggestions for working as efficiently as possible:
- Chop onions and bell peppers. Save 50g onion and 150g peppers aside for later. Mince garlic. In largest skillet you have, brown all six lbs of ground beef with onions, peppers, and garlic. Do not season. Drain when finished. *if you don’t have a skillet large enough, you should be able to do it in a soup pot if you stir and break it up regularly.
- Divide meat into 3 segments. Because cooking changes the weight, we’re going to go with parts instead of measurements: 1 part for Big Mac Salad, 3 parts for Taco Night, 3 parts for Chili. I’ll likely store mine in gallon Ziploc bags until I’m ready to prep the recipes themselves.
- Then, before bed, grab Crockpot Breakfast Casserole recipe. Prep and set on low overnight so you wake up to breakfast in the morning. You’re gonna LOVE yourself for having food ready to roll when you get out of bed.
After this, breakfast is ready for the week and you’ll have minimal prep for other meals. You may want to go ahead and prep chili so you have lunch ready for the week. If you feel like preparing any of the other meals, go for it! The more you do on prep day, the smoother the week will go.
