If you’ve been meaning to make changes to your nutrition, but can never seem to find the time – one thing that will always help is meal prep!

That quote “fail to prepare, prepare to fail” flies around health and nutrition and circles and I know it sounds a bit harsh but it is SO true, especially when it comes to preparing your meals.

SO WHAT IS MEAL PREP? Meal prep can mean different things to each person, so it is important you find a routine that works for you. But the end goal should be that it saves you time in the kitchen and makes it easier for you to eat more healthily during the week.

Here’s a tasty recipe for lunch or dinner, easy to prep, can be frozen and is healthy (of course!)…
