Meal Prep: Healthy Fuel for Busy College Days

Hey loves 🎀, Today I'm gonna share about  this new thing I've been trying on, navigating the whirlwind of college life as a teenage(minimalist) girl means embracing simplicity in every aspect, including meal prep. With a focus on efficiency and nourishment, you can fuel your body with healthy options even on the busiest of days.

Let me share some tips with you, my lovess,start by creating a streamlined meal plan centered around versatile ingredients that require minimal preparation. Opt for staples like rolled oats, lentils, leafy greens, and a variety of seasonal vegetables. These simple yet nutrient-dense foods serve as the foundation for quick and satisfying meals throughout the week.

Batch cooking becomes your best friend in the quest for effortless meals(yum yum). Dedicate a couple of hours on the weekend to prepare large batches of grains, proteins, and roasted vegetables. Portion them into reusable containers for grab-and-go lunches and  dinners(maybe). With pre-cooked ingredients at your disposal, assembling balanced meals becomes a breeze, leaving you more time to focus on your studies and other pursuits.

Embrace the art of meal simplicity by incorporating easy-to-assemble dishes into your routine. Whip up a veggie-packed quinoa bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and a drizzle of tahini dressing for a satisfying lunch (refer above picture) . For dinner, try a stir-fry using whatever vegetables and protein sources you have on hand, seasoned with your favorite spices and sauces. With these minimalist meal prep ideas, you can nourish your body without sacrificing time or energy, allowing you to thrive in college and beyond. Hope this little tips help you guys out to maintain your health and time simultaneously!! ☺️
