Mum makes 52 meals and snacks for $50 – that’s less than $1 PER SERVE!

There are multiple benefits to meal prep, the main one being LESS CHEATING!

Not only are you more likely to eat food that has already been bought and made than opt for a takeaway, but it also helps with portion control and it’s a HUGE time saver.

Amy Sidiropoulos agrees! She’s a huge advocate of meal prep and recently made 37 meals and snacks for $50 – which works out at less than $1 per serve!

Mum makes 52 meals and snacks for $50

Amy has lost eight kilos by following the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge and drinking The Healthy Mummy smoothies, and she’s now got her own meal planning routine.

“I find prepping on a Sunday is better for me, as I tend to get more done as hubby is home and keeps the kids away from the kitchen and disturbing me,” says Amy.

“After spending a few hours in the kitchen this arvo I’m set for the week and ready to kick some goals!”

Amy’s top three tips for meal prep:

1. Make a list

It’s easier to not veer off track.

2. Bulk up your food with veggies

I try to plan my meals so I can bulk prep certain ingredients all at once e.g. grate  carrots for Mexican lasagna and porcupine meatballs at the same time.

3. Make things easier for yourself

Meal prep doesn’t have to take a lot of time, little things like boiling some eggs for a snack while you are cooking dinner is a big help too.
