How To Meal Prep & Eat Healthy All Week

Have a Plan. If you’re struggling with eating healthy most of the week, I recommend creating a weekly menu, a meal plan that you will want to follow. With meals you’re excited to eat! Having a meal plan will help you save time, reduce food waste and if you have a specific physical goal like weight loss, fat loss or muscle gain help to keep you on track. If you don’t have a meal planner yet, you can purchase the meal planner template that I use here. Remember to use the code NTB20 to get 20% off your order.

You don’t want to go crazy when you’re meal prepping for the week! Don’t make a ton of food at the beginning of the week that you’re not going to eat later. It’s best to figure out when you will not have time to cook or eat and make food for those days.

When it comes to breakfast, pick out 2 recipes that you will want to rotate. What I like to do is make one breakfast recipe on Sunday and another one on Wednesday night, so that they still taste pretty fresh and I don’t get sick of eating the same thing every morning. After 3 days I’m usually done and that works for me.

Meal Prep Breakfast Grocery List

As you can tell from the breakfast recipes there are many breakfast ingredients you probably already have at home. Most of them are pantry staples and the rest is fresh fruit and vegetables. Here’s a small shopping list with healthy breakfast foods for when you’re doing your weekly groceries:
