Sophia Hughes has got you covered with simple meal prep ideas that will help you remain on target without spending hours in the kitchen if you want to follow the Whole30 program but are worried about time and effort.
“Whole30 is all about removing processed foods and stressing whole, clean ingredients,” says Sophia. “But that doesn’s mean you have to spend hours cooking or sacrifice taste.”
Sophia offers these best ideas for a Whole30 meal prep free of stress:
1. Start with a Protein Base. At the beginning of the week, get ready a large quantity of chicken breasts, turkey, or beef. To use throughout the week, bake, broil, or sauté the protein then refrigerate it. It’s the ideal foundation for bowls, salads, or stir-fries.
2. Keep Vegetables Simple. Whole 30 calls for vegetables, thus be sure you have plenty of them available and ready. Roast sweet potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and Brussels sprouts among other vegetables. They can be included to any dish, eaten as sides or tossed into salads.
3. Make a Big Batch of Cauliflower Rice. One Whole30-friendly low-carb substitute for conventional rice is cauliflower rice. Just pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor then sauté them with a small olive oil drizzle. It may be reheated for fast dinners and keeps nicely in the refrigerator.
4. Prepare Simple Snacks. Although Whole30 leaves little room for manufactured snacks, you can create nutritious options include homemade guacamole with vegetable sticks, almond butter with apple slices, or hard-boiled eggs.
At the beginning of the week, Sophia’s Whole30 meal prep takes just one to two hours. It guarantees that, should hunger strike hit, you always have healthy meals and snacks on hand.
“Meal prepping doesn’t have to be complicated,” Sophia notes. “You can make Whole30 fit for your life without feeling overwhelmed with the correct ingredients.”
Following these easy guidelines will help you to stay on the Whole30 diet and enjoy great, nouraging cuisine.
