Meal prep ambassador, Jessica Magill is showing you how you can meal prep to your specific dietary needs.Jessica is a vegetarian and 14 weeks pregnant with baby number 4 (congratulations!) so itโs all veggie-only at her house!
โI want to show mums that eating well doesnโt have to be expensive or time consuming,โshe says.
Jessicaย made 43 meals and 38 snacks for under $120 in only few hours! WOW.
Epic vegetarian meal prep
Jessicaโs top tips for meal prep
- Pick recipes with similar ingredients so you can buy in bulk and save money!
- Make double batches of the same recipe โ again this saves money but it also only takes a few extra minutes for a lot of extra food!
- Think about what youโre making and organise yourself so youโre making the recipes that take longest first. Eg start a lasagne first so that it can bake in the oven while you whip up a soup or bolognese.
- Clean as you go, thereโs nothing worse than finishing a big prep and having to clean up!
- Shop fruit and veg in season โ I always swap veg around to suit our taste and budget. Frozen vegetables/fruit are often a cheaper alternative too.
