Can you believe it’s back to school season, already?! I always feel like summer goes by so quickly. My little brother starts back school next week, and I know the reality is slowly setting in for him, as it probably is for all students and parents. I know one of the hardest parts about this upcoming season is food prep! If you’re a parent/guardian/sibling/anyone in charge of someone going back to school, or you’re going back to school yourself, there’s already so many other things to think about that food prep can get left at the bottom of the list, right? My Top Five Back to School Meal Prepping Tips should really help you out with this. Simple, incredibly easy to follow tips that’ll help make at least that part of back to school preparations much simpler.
(Vegan Breakfast Yogurt Pops using Silk’s Vegan Yogurt) First off, what is meal prep? I did an entire post explaining this, but it’s planning out your meals in advance and preparing them in advance so that when you’re ready to eat, your meals are already ready for you. It helps to save money (eliminating take out), save time and energy, and save SANITY, most importantly. No time on school mornings to make breakfast? No problem at all. Meal prep means grab and go breakfasts, or meals that can easily be reheated. Make it easy for yourself – prep on a light day. If that’s Sunday, do it then, if it’s another day, choose that. Make it customisable for you!
In all of these recipes, I’m also using Silk Almondmilk for the taco sauce elements, for the creaminess in the soup, or for the base for the overnight oats. That way I only grab one large Silk Almondmilk half gallon bottle and I use it all up! I’ve said it already, but meal prep is ALL about making life easier for yourself. Using a smooth, creamy and plant-based item like Silk’s Almondmilk throughout my meals for the week not only guarantees ease and versatility, but it means I know it’ll all taste delicious too! Coconut Chickpea Curry – great for easy lunches and dinners ALL my soups Chocolate Raspberry Baked Oatmeal Cups (I switch these up with strawberries, plain, or with other fruits) – great for grab and go breakfasts (Overnight Pumpkin Pie Oats) Crispy Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Crema (using Silk Almondmilk) I hope these tips really helped!
