How to Meal Prep Like a Rockstar
Meal prep your way to a healthier, happier, more satisfied you! With Personal Trainer Food you’re given the choice of a variety of delicious, easy meal prep options. Get organized at the beginning of a busy week by meal prepping healthy and delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks!
I teamed up with Personal Trainer Foods to share How to Meal Prep Like a Rockstar!! As always, all opinions are my own.
I totally understand that it can seem daunting to look at a 7-day week and decide what you’re going to eat before you’ve even started your week. Meal prep makes life less stressful in the long run, though. Having the right tools and feeling prepared for the week is SO helpful. I like to make my meal prep even easier with Personal Trainer Food.
Personal Trainer Food is a meal plan subscription service that takes the stress out of meal planning and prep. You simply order, online, the best meal plan for your lifestyle and the meals are delivered straight to your door. I ordered from the one time, 28-day You Choose meal plan. For less then $12 a day, I was able to choose three meals from 140 available options.
For breakfast, my son and I love the frittata omelette with sausage. Before having Personal Trainer Food, my husband would cook a chicken breast in the morning before work, to take for lunch. He has greatly enjoyed the many options, like the rotisserie chicken with broccoli, that he can just grab and go. With over 800 meal combinations, there is something for everyone!
As a busy mom, I’m loving the Personal Trainer Food meal plan. They truly have a customer for life!
Sunday is the day I plan out meals for the week and prep food ahead of time. Since I’ve been using Personal Trainer Food, it takes way less time and it totally sets me up to have a healthy and stress-free week. In the pictures, here, you can see some ideas from my favorite Personal Trainer Food options broken down by meal.
Whether you’re looking for healthy, quick meals in order to keep off or lose weight or you’re just extremely busy and need convenient options to prep; Personal Trainer Food makes sticking to a healthy diet so easy… and delicious.
Personal Trainer Food offers meals that are high in protein, contain good carbs and healthy fats with no heavily-processed food product while trapping natural flavors and freshness with their flash-frozen method. By using this method, their products require no fillers, hidden sugars or bad carbs while benefiting from the fact that they contain either low or no gluten.
I usually only prep my breakfasts, lunches and snacks. I prefer to cook up quick and easy dinners as usual each night. The exception to this is if I make a huge pot of chili or a large casserole on Sunday. Everyone is different with varying schedules each week so do what works for YOU!
Anyone can do this!
Benefits of meal prep:
- All your meals are ready for the week
- Saves you money on eating out, expensive take-out delivery services and wasting groceries you don’t use
- They are easy to take to work or school
- You will have more free time during the week to do other things rather than cooking for each and every meal
- You know EXACTLY what ingredients you’re eating
- They can be tailored to your dietary needs whether it be for weight loss, muscle gain or dietary restrictions
Tips for meal prep:
- Pick the day ahead of time to meal prep
- Decide what the menu will be
- Have all your food options ready to go
- Invest in washable, non BPA plastic food containers
- Invest in a cooler or insulated meal bag, if needed, depending on your work situation
- Keep the menu simple – simple food lasts longer than complex meals or elaborate dishes
For my prepped meals, I like to keep them clean, simple and healthy, which is so easy to do with Personal Trainer Food. They are a balanced mix of protein, carbs and greens.
To some of you it may seem bland or potentially boring BUT with flavorful meals from Personal Trainer Food, your prepped meals will be super tasty!
PIN IT!
Something to think about…
Do you meal prep? Have you tried Personal Trainer Food?
Oh yum, everything looks tasty! I need to start meal prepping. I’d probably do it like that video I see floating around Facebook though: a slice of pizza in each plastic container.
Haha! Yes, sometimes I feel like that too!
My meal popping never ends up being successful since I end up changing my.mind on what I want to eat then end up not eating what I prepped. I need to stick with it and not give up.
Yes, that does happen! That’s why I’m really liking Personal Trainer Foods because even if I don’t prep everything into containers, I can just pop it in the microwave super quick.
Now these look like some delicious ideas, I have to admit I’ve not thought about meal prepping for a week before, but actually, it might be a good idea. On a good day get it all ready.
Yes! And with Personal Trainer Food it’s super easy!
I need to get better at meal prep. Too many times for lunch or dinner I just grab whatever because of my busy day, but this would guarantee that there is more healthy options.
Definitely!
Meal prepping seems like a really great idea, I have never tried it. I just eat randomly. Thanks for the exposé
Ummmmmmm Yum! I love how you give yourself options! Most meal prep ideas I can find are all the exact same meal over and over and over! Love this!
I love meal prepping it really does help so much to keep myself more organize during the week and be able to get everything I need to. It is really is the bes.t
I totally love your post. I am a busy journalist and do like to prepare some meal in advance to last for some days in the week. Your tips are very useful. Thank you.
Meal prepping is such a huge time saver for me-partly because I can prep for multiple meals at once. I never heard of Personal Trainer Food before, but they sound like a convenient option for sure! And the foods you shared all look so delicious and nutritious, which is always great!
I do this every week. Meal prep saves me so much time. It is ridiculous how good it is.
Meal prepping is a task for me. For now I will follow your tips and tricks for prepping meal like a rockstar.
I’ve never heard of this company until now! Excellent post and awesome pics! You made me hungry lol
I tried meal prepping a few months ago and it was an epic fail! Maybe I will try again with your tips because I really love the idea.
Thank you for this wonderful post, meal prepping is something I’m still struggling with. So I find this very helpful.
Wow, these look delicious!! I think to keep the menu simple is the key here.
I do meal prep occasionally but always feel lazy to cook several different meals.
But it is the best way to eat clean and healthy during super busy weeks!
Great advice – I wish I could be more organised like this!
These looks so good! Such healthy green food. I don’t usully prep my meals but this is something to think about.
yum! I love that you have a variety of good dishes to enjoy throughout the week. Wish the kids liked Brussel sprouts.
I have never tried ‘personal trainer’ food before but I like that they make meal prepping a lot easier. And I like what you aid about prepping all your meals at the beginning of the week when you have the mot motivation.
I waste so much money on food and I’ve recently decided to start meal prepping to turn that around. I’m going to use your tips and it will be nice to have meals fixed and save money. I’ve got to find some non BPA plastic food containers because I’m going to spend my weekend prepping for next week.
I agree that Food makes sticking to a healthy diet so easy and delicious. Great post. Tasty photos too.
This post is just perfect for me! I have to bring lunch to work but always end up buying something ready made at the shop while i could make my own food!
