I want to make as much as I can before the baby comes. The first kid came early and we didn’t get a chance to meal prep…it would have been a huge help.
This time I want to have some things, breakfast, sides, lunch, dinner. Where all I need to do is defrost, heat/cook, and eat.
Can you share your ideas, experience, links, etc?
Thanks in advance!
I love all these ideas! I’m personally prepping smoothies too by freezing yogurt and coconut water along w whatever fruit is on sale. Putting each one in a separate bag. With my first, I felt so dehydrated breastfeeding so this time I’m getting that sugar in right when I wake up. Kinda strange for some people but I also put red lentils in my smoothies for the protein (just an ice cube tray amount). People have suggested protein powder but lentils are just so cheap and easy and since I use dates in my smoothies, I can’t really taste them but helps with fullness.
great idea about the lentils! wayyyy cheaper then those powders and i bet a whole lot healthier.
Cooked lentils?
This is a great idea! I now freeze smoothies in ice cube trays (I like mango, keifer, lime, and cinnamon), then transfer to a plastic bag, but I wish I had prepped a freezer full of these. Looking forward to tossing in some lentils now!
