1. Plan your meals for the week ahead 📆

The key to successful meal prep is planning. Take some time at the beginning of each week to plan your meals for the week ahead.

2. Use a slow cooker 🍲

A slow cooker is a busy professional’s best friend. Simply throw your ingredients into the slow cooker in the morning before work, and you’ll have a delicious and healthy meal waiting for you when you get home. Slow cookers are perfect for preparing stews, casseroles, and curries, all of which can be made Paleo-friendly. 🤤

3. Batch cook your meals 🍴

Batch cooking is a great way to save time and reduce stress during the week. Spend a few hours on the weekend cooking a large batch of your favorite Paleo-friendly meals. You can then portion them out into individual containers for easy grab-and-go meals throughout the week. This is also a great way to avoid the temptation of unhealthy fast food during busy workdays. 🙌

4. Make use of convenience foods 🍌

There are many convenience foods that are Paleo-friendly and can help make meal prep a breeze. Some examples include pre-cut vegetable packs, pre-cut fruit cups, canned tuna, and pre-cooked hard-boiled eggs. By using these convenience foods, you can save time while still eating healthy. Just remember to check the ingredients list to ensure they are Paleo-friendly. 🍎

5. Cook once, eat twice 🥡

Another great hack for busy professionals is to cook once and eat twice. This means doubling a recipe and saving leftovers for the next day’s lunch or dinner. Leftovers can also be frozen for an easy meal at a later date. This hack can save you time, money, and reduce food waste. 🍱
