Meal Prepping Made Easy Series #5 of 6-Streamline Your Meal Prep: Let Instacart and Meal Services Do the Work!


Hi Reader,

We’ve all been there – busy schedules, limited time, and the constant struggle to keep up with healthy eating habits. But here’s the secret: meal prep doesn’t have to be a stressful, time-consuming task!

This week, we’re going to talk about a game-changing strategy that will save you time and make meal prepping a breeze: using meal prep services and grocery delivery platforms like Instacart.

Why Meal Prep Services and Grocery Delivery Are a Game Changer:

  • Time-Saving: No more wandering aisles at the store or spending hours prepping your meals. These services bring the grocery store to your doorstep and sometimes even offer fully prepared meals that just need reheating!
  • Convenience: Whether you’re ordering pre-chopped veggies, individually portioned meals, or all the ingredients for your favorite recipes, it’s all just a few clicks away.
  • Variety: Tired of the same old meals? Meal prep services often offer diverse, healthy options so you can keep your meals exciting while staying on track with your health goals.
  • No More Last-Minute Trips: Running low on ingredients or forgot to buy something? Instacart and similar services make sure you never miss a beat. You can easily reorder or make changes to your grocery list with just a few taps.

Here’s How to Get Started:

  1. Choose Your Service: Check out platforms like Instacart, Amazon Fresh,Thrive Market or Shipt for grocery delivery in your area.
    1. Create Your List: Start by planning the meals you want to prep for the week. Make a list of ingredients and check out the available options on your chosen service. Bonus points if you’re using a meal prep service that already offers balanced, portion-controlled meals!
    2. Set It and Forget It: Once your grocery list is ready, schedule your delivery for a time that fits your week. This will free up time to focus on other things (like your workouts or relaxing on the couch).
    3. Simplify Prep: When your groceries arrive, you’ll be halfway there! Take a little time to organize your ingredients, and the actual cooking becomes much quicker and less stressful.
  2. If you prefer pre-prepared meals services like the following could be great options:

3. You can also order a meal kit- a kit that has all the ingredients ready for you to cook shipped right to your door. These are pre-portioned with all the calorie and macro information if you need that. They are delicious without all the time of looking for a recipe or shopping for the ingredients. Some great options are:

Quick Tip: Use the "Buy in Bulk" Option

When ordering through Instacart or similar services, many grocery stores offer discounts when you buy certain items in bulk. Stock up on pantry staples (like grains, nuts, or beans) to save money in the long run.

Meal prep isn’t about spending hours in the kitchen – it’s about finding the tools that make it work for you. With meal prep services and grocery delivery, you’re just one step away from healthier, more convenient meals.
