Simple Food Prep

You don’t need more willpower… you need a plan.

Food prep has gotten a bad reputation - hours in the kitchen, complicated recipes, containers stacked to the ceiling. But in real life, especially in midlife, food prep is not about doing more - it’s about making healthy choices easier.

When life gets busy, stress is high, or energy is low, we default to what’s available. Without some level of food prep, even the best intentions are no match for decision fatigue, time constraints, or hunger at the end of the day.

A simple food prep habit does three important things:

• Removes daily decision-making, which is often the biggest barrier to consistency

• Supports steadier energy and blood sugar by making balanced meals more accessible

• Reduces mindless snacking and last-minute choices, especially during busy evenings

Food prep is not about perfection or cooking everything in advance.
It is about creating intentional “easy buttons” that supports you when life gets hectic and chaotic.

Below you’ll receive a simple food prep guide designed to fit real life, including:

• A short menu of prep options to choose from

• Easy, repeatable recipes

• Step-by-step video tutorials

• Guidance on how to use one prepped item to support multiple meals

This habit is meant to support you - not add another thing to your plate.
