The holidays with far too many sweets are over and you're really in the mood for healthy food again? Us too! To start the new year healthy and start a new routine, today we're showing you five delicious meal prep recipes.

Prepare only once and eat healthy 5 times .

Because let's be honest, in everyday life it's just difficult to cook fresh food all the time. Often there's little time, but you're very hungry. That's why we prepare delicious recipes easily. The food is kept fresh in a jar and you can always tell straight away what's in it. Get fit for the new year - it's that simple.

What is meal prep?

Meal prep is short for the English term "meal preparation", which means planning and preparing meals in advance . This saves you time, because instead of going to the kitchen five times, you only have to go once. It also saves money , because instead of buying lunch from the restaurant around the corner or eating a ready meal when you're hungry, you cook it yourself, and that's guaranteed to be cheaper.

You also know exactly what is in your meals. In addition to fresh ingredients, you can also make sure you have a balanced diet . Guaranteed without flavor enhancers, additives and preservatives.

By the way: Meal prep is also particularly practical if you are on the go a lot. Simply pack and eat at work, at university or in between meals.

You should definitely make sure that you layer the individual components in a sensible order . That means: heavy things at the bottom, light things at the bottom. It's best to keep the sauce or dressing separately, for example in our lunchbox insert - that way nothing gets soggy. It's best to plan your week in advance and then go shopping specifically.

Meal Prep Basics

For a balanced diet, you should also make sure that you combine filling carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and vitamins. It is best to store the prepared food in portions . This way, you have lunch ready to hand when you are in a hurry during the week.

Everything you need to prepare meals can be found in our Meal Prep Starter Set . This makes preparation easier and cooking really fun.
