Meal-Prep is the modern abbreviation of the English expression "Meal Preparation", which means pre-cooking meals. How does it work? Well, basically just cook a few more portions, fill them up and take the (healthy!) pre-cooked food to work, to the playground, to university... to take with you. And who could be more suitable than our Thermomix?
5 unbeatable arguments why Meal-Prep is worth it
1. save money:
If you only go shopping once a week, you usually spend much less money than if you go shopping several times a week. Leftovers don't end up in the bin, as is so often the case, but directly in the lunchbox.
2. save time:
Of course, it takes time to prepare meals. But if you cook for several days in advance, you save yourself additional shopping, cooking and cleaning up on the remaining days.
3. more fun when shopping:
Make a list before you go shopping. Think in categories: Vegetables, fruit, protein, dairy, wheat, fat. Then try to include at least one new food each week. Had salmon last week? Try swordfish this week.
4. portion control:
You know exactly what's in it and how much. The portions are usually larger than your hunger. Nevertheless, nothing is left over. That really can't happen here.
5 It's not all or nothing:
You don't have to pre-cook all your food. Stay flexible. Breakfast and dinner can be prepared ad hoc or enjoyed in the restaurant.
And why is the Thermomix particularly suitable for this?
1. scale:
A particularly important part of the Meal-Prep is the weighing of the respective ingredients. Thanks to the integrated scales in the Thermomix you can weigh and prepare in the same bowl.
2. all-in-one:
Chop vegetables, mix dressing, steam fish. Everything can be done at the same time, turning the already time-saving meal prepping into speed prepping.
3. plenty of space:
A whole 5 days' worth of rice with broccoli and fish fits easily into the mixing bowl and Varoma. No detours: directly from the Thermomix into the lunchbox.
Dare to try it! We wish you lots of fun with meal prepping. :-)
