I used to meal prep from scratch with such good intentions each Sunday. Buying all the fun containers, looking up new clean recipes and taking the time in the kitchen to plan my week.

Cooking, grocery shopping and meal prepping is VERY time consuming, so there were more times then I like to admit that I didn’t prep, because life happened and quite honestly I was just exhausted!!! We all have good intentions to eat healthy, but we can only fit so much in a 24hour period. Life is busy and hectic for all of us, so those veggies in the bottom of our fridge are thrown in the garbage. Sad but true.

I recently came to terms to stop meal prepping and to go a different route…. I CHEAT! I’m going to tell you a little secret, I let someone else do the meal prepping for me. No, I do not have a chef (I wish!) but I found the next best thing, Meal Prepping companies who do the shopping, prepping PLUS they deliver right to my door! Sounds too good to be true? It isn’t.

I know what you are thinking, but they are actually very affordable!!! I have done the math and I am actually saving money from ordering these meals. I don’t throw out any veggies, fruits or even leftovers anymore, because my fridge is stacked and organized with my next clean meal. And also remember your health is an investment not an expense especially when it comes to healthy food.

We plan our workouts each week so doing the same with your meals will really help keep you on track. Plus it will give you the results you are working hard to achieve. “Abs are made in the kitchen” - your body requires healthy food for endurance, strength and yes even weight loss. Consistent meal planning and what you put on your fork, should work with your fitness routine. They go hand in hand, you can’t succeed without the other.

I have already mentioned so many great reasons why you should consider buying these healthy pre-made, fresh meals! But don’t forget if you are trying to lose a few inches these meals will:

Manage your portion sizes.
Will create a better relationship with food!
Keeps you on track by not having bad choices in your fridge.
Helps stress, because you don’t panic or worry about your next meal.

Might seem like a small thing, but these companies have changed my life. With my crazy busy schedule, I don’t even have to think about my next healthy meal. Therefore I can focus on more important aspects of my life, but can still continue to be healthy and strong. And yes I might actually cheer out loud each and every time that delivery truck shows up! Try it, you can thank me later!
