Let’s be real – you think meal prepping sounds like a great idea… in theory. But in reality? It’s one of those things you promise yourself you’ll start doing next week. And then before you know it, it’s NEXT WEEK already. Let us clarify a few things for you to maybe, just MAYBE convince you to meal prep.
1. “I don’t have time!”
Totally fair – spending a whole Sunday chopping, roasting, and packing food into identical containers does sound like a lot. But you know what’s worse? The daily 4 p.m. panic of “What’s for dinner?” which as we all know seems to happen every single night. This is often followed by a last-minute, overpriced DoorDash order that is probably much less nutritious than you think. Prepping even a little in advance means less stress, believe it or not, less dishes to do, and less decisions for you to make every day. You can spend an hour in the kitchen, once a week, and put a couple of meals together much faster than you can order and have it delivered. Just give it a try. You have nothing to lose!
Hiring a Personal Chef with Leaf and Loaf can give you more time for whatever you actually enjoy, like spending time with your family, having more relaxing meal times (three times a day?), getting a walk in or just sitting and breathing for a little while.
2. “It’s boring!”
YUP. The boring “chicken, rice, and broccoli” meal prep stereotype. Listen, meal prepping doesn’t have to mean eating the same thing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You can mix up flavors, swap ingredients, try new ingredients. Still not interested in doing it yourself?
Hiring a Personal Chef with Leaf and Loaf can provide you with a variety of new and delicious meals that are customized for YOU! Meals will never be boring and we rarely create the same thing more than one time. (Although we do have those client faves that are repeated upon request.)
3. “It’s expensive!”
Wait, what? Nope. Buying ingredients and planning meals actually saves money. You’re less likely to waste food. Goodbye slimy spinach at the back of the fridge. AND you’ll stop spending $15 on sad takeout salads. Meal prepping can help you save money, especially if you are eating out a few times a week. Are you enjoying those meals?
If meal prepping isn’t your thing, we get it. That’s why Leaf and Loaf exists! We create delicious, nutritious meals that are ready to eat. We create the custom menus for your home every week, we do the shopping, we do the chopping, we do all the preparation for you. All you need to do is enjoy the custom meals made JUST. FOR. YOU.
