Hey Reader,

I know one of the biggest challenges that comes up for people in my coaching programs is finding the time to prepare healthier meals. It's so easy to slip into the habit of grabbing fast food, eating out, or running to the gas station for a snack that doesn’t serve your body. But here's the thing—making healthier choices doesn't have to be a struggle!

Thinking of meals can be exhausting, meal planning and prepping allows you to be prepared for the week so you aren't mindlessly going to the non nutritious foods. Meal prepping will allow you to free up that mental space during the week so you can do the things you enjoy.

Over the next five weeks, I'll share some game-changing tips, tricks, and simple recipes that will help you eat healthier, feel more energized, and even save time during the week. No more feeling sluggish, bloated, or drained by making those easy-but-unhealthy choices.

And let me be real—I’m not a huge fan of spending hours in the kitchen either. I don’t love meal prepping for hours on end (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't!). But I’ve discovered easier ways to stay on track without all the time in the kitchen, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

You do need to set aside a bit of time to plan your meals—but don't worry, it doesn’t mean slaving away in the kitchen for hours! When you're not prepared, grabbing that candy bar at the gas station or hitting the drive-thru becomes way too tempting. And that leads to feeling sluggish, bloated, and mentally foggy. Not to mention, over time, it can contribute to serious health problems.

So, here’s a new perspective: fueling your body properly feels amazing. Most people don’t realize how good they can feel when they consistently nourish their bodies with purpose.

Think of it like putting premium fuel in your car—when you feed your body the right nutrients, it runs smoothly. But if you constantly fuel it with "junk" (like diesel in a gas engine), it eventually breaks down. The same happens to your body. Over time, it leads to things like fatigue, brain fog, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancers and more.

Now, think about how much you plan for things that matter—like your vacations. You plan where you’ll go, what you’ll do, how you’ll get there, where you’ll stay, and everything in between. Why not apply the same level of planning to your daily life? It doesn’t have to be complicated, and I’m here to make it simple!

I won’t lie—getting started with meal prep may feel tough at first. But just like any change, it gets easier over time. Start small—don’t try to plan a whole week’s worth of meals just yet. Aim for just a couple of days to keep it simple and not overwhelming.

Your homework for this week is to think about where you need the most help with meal prep. Is it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks? How many days can you commit to this week? I’d recommend starting with 2-3 days as a beginner. We’re easing into this, not diving straight in.

Next week, I’ll share how to meal prep without spending hours in the kitchen, and how to make healthy choices even if you do eat out a few days a week.

You can eat healthy and live your life without spending half the day prepping. I promise.

Here is a recipe I make weekly or every other week. It's versatile and reheats well for other meals. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

See ya next week Reader. Have a great day!
