Meal prep doesn’t need to take your whole weekend

If you’ve ever wanted to meal prep but felt overwhelmed by the idea of spending hours in the kitchen - this one’s for you.

Inside the BARE Meal Prep Guide, Leah breaks meal prep down into simple, repeatable steps so you can save time, reduce stress and stay consistent through the week. As she shares on page 2, meal prep is simply preparing ingredients or recipes ahead of time, not creating a week’s worth of identical containers.

Why meal prep is such a game-changer

When healthy choices are prepped and ready to go, everything becomes easier.
According to the guide:

• You can prep anything that stores well - like cooked meats, grains, soups and chopped veggies (page 2).
  
  
• Avoid prepping anything that gets soggy fast, like nachos or certain fruits (page 2).
  
  

It’s about making real life smoother, not perfect.

A realistic weekly meal prep schedule

One of the best parts of the guide is the exact schedule Leah uses — broken into small chunks across the week:

• Saturday: Meal plan + create a shopping list + do the grocery shop (page 3).
  
  
• Sunday: Prep key ingredients and first half of the week’s dinners (page 3).
  
  
• Wednesday: Quick top-up shop + 1 hour of meal prep for the rest of the week (page 3).
  
  

This approach helps you stay consistent without sacrificing your weekend.

The freezer is your best friend

The guide emphasises how batch-cooking and freezing things like burger patties, sauces and marinated meats saves time and reduces waste (page 3).

If you’ve ever opened the fridge at 7pm wondering what to make… this tip alone is life-changing.
