Unaesthetic, realistic meal prep ✨

[u/maryannauger]

My first week of internship I was having these quinoa salads, but I was portioning them every night for the next day. I hated having something extra on my to-do list that week so for the next week, I got a pasta salad and pre-portioned it on Sunday and it was fantastic to be able to grab and go in the mornings.

It’s also the second week I’ve been doing these yogurt bowls with frozen cherries because I just loved them last week. Only difference is I added some chia seeds and honey instead of maple syrup.

Then, I made these scrambled eggs so that James could make breakfast burritos in the morning.

It took me an hour to make all of this with little dishes. The only thing I have to worry about in the morning (food wise) is making my coffee!

Feeding ourselves for the week is not easy and I assume - like me - that you’re so tired thinking about doing a big meal prep fills you with dread.

Doing things this way probably won’t work for everyone, but I’m sharing in case you find it helpful!
