5 MINUTE MEALS GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
Meal prep can be intimidating at first because there are a lot of ingredients, cooking, and portioning that needs to be done, but preparing balanced and nutritious meals doesn’t need to take hours. There are plenty of items in grocery stores that can cut down on preparation time, such as already cut fruits or veggies, already cooked meats, and instant rice. While these products do cut down on time, they do tend to be a bit more expensive due to the convenience factor. It’s important to decide what you find the most value in. Here are some examples of 5 minute meal options based on involvement. Adjust the serving sizes based on your needs!
