Meal prepping is a great way to make sure you have healthy meals ready to go, but it can be time consuming and difficult to keep up with.

Ingredient prepping is a simpler alternative that doesn’t require as much time or effort, and is more maintainable in the long run.

With ingredient prepping, you simply gather all of the ingredients you need for several different recipes, then store them together in one place.

For example, you can cook your meats and chop all your fruits and veggies on Sundays to kick off the work week.

This way, you always have everything you need on hand, and can easily put together a meal without having to spend hours in the kitchen.
