Put single-serving snack, lunch, or dinner portions in containers for grab-and-go convenience.  \n􀁸 Meals for one. Prepare and portion entire meals into single-serving containers.  \n􀁸 Assemble meals (don’t cook), refrigerate or freeze to cook later.  \n􀁸 Ingredient prep. Chop vegetables, marinate meat, and portion out spices to minimize daily cooking time.  \n􀁸 Cook once and make several different meals. Lean ground beef can be spaghetti sauce Monday night, tacos on Tuesday, and chili on Wednesday.  \nThe benefits to food preparation are numerous:  \n􀁸 It puts you in control of the foods you cook. You can limit salt, added sugars, and saturated fat and serve right-sized portions.  \n􀁸 You’ll save money. Preparing food at home minimizes more costly meals out.

After all, we all tend to do what is easiest at the moment.  \n􀁸 It appears that all of this healthy home eating is good for the entire family. Teens that eat at home with their families are less likely to smoke, drink, or use drugs. They also get higher grades and have better-eating habits as adults. Younger children are more likely to eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  \nHow to start:  \nTo garner the benefits of food prep, start with a meal plan, a shopping list, food storage containers, and a couple of hours each week.  \nIt can be overwhelming to go from winging it to planning all your meals and snacks. You may want to start with one meal first. You’ll undoubtedly get benefits by taking this first step and then building on your successes. Keeping it simple will also help. Repeat meals, use tried-and-true recipes or simple recipes without many ingredients.  \nStep 1: Meal Planning  \nPencil in meals on your calendar (or find an app to use), gather recipes and make a list of ingredients needed week-by-week for an entire month. You may want to use the Barix Clinics Meal Planning Guidelines to make a meal plan. Once you do this, it is easy to tweak from month to month to accommodate seasonal foods and add variety.  \nStep 2: Stock up on Food Storage Containers  \nFood storage containers come in various sizes, shapes, and materials. Find the right containers foryour food prep style.  \n􀁸 Size. The sizes you select will depend on your needs.  \n􀁸 Are you prepping meals for one or a large family?  \n􀁸 Do you plan to portion out snacks or buy singleserving containers?  \n􀁸 What shapes do you want? Round containers work well for soups. Rectangle containers fit more compactly into the fridge or freezer.  \n􀁸 If you have limited storage spaces, look for empty containers that nest for storage?  \n􀁸 Compartments. Some food prep containers come with dividers to keep foods separate.  \nCopyright 2022 Forest Health Services, LLC.  \nBarix and the Barix Clinics logo are registered trademarks of Forest Health Services, LLC.  \nAll other trademarks or registered ","cbCaig8OJ88aqbHn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig8OJ88aqbHn","pdf",512883,"English","# Food Prep to Eat Better and Simplify Your Life\n## Make-ahead meal strategies\n## Benefits of food preparation\n## How to start\n## Step 1: Meal Planning\n## Step 2: Stock up on Food Storage Containers\n## Step 3: Grocery Shop\n## Step 4: Weekly Meal Prep","[{\"question\":\"What is food prep and how can it improve healthy eating?\",\"answer\":\"Food prep helps you plan, cook, and store meals so healthy foods are ready when you need them.
