Save Time and Energy with Meal Prep
Meal Prepping is for Everyone They say failure to plan is planning to fail, and that applies to your nutrition too. The best way to set yourself up for success in the kitchen is to meal plan and prep. Meal planning means deciding what you would like to eat for your meals each day of the week. From that list of meals, you can create your grocery list and shop. Meal prepping means cooking meals ahead of time so they’re ready to grab, pack, and reheat. However, for people with busy lives, meal prepping can sound overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Meal prepping is for everyone and can be as easy or as complicated as you make it. Here are some tips and tricks to save time and energy while meal prepping.

Grilled Honey-Lime Chicken
This is simple, grilled chicken gets a tangy and slightly sweet flavor from a honey-lime marinade. Pair with a vegetable that you can throw on the grill with it, like this simple Grilled Sesame Asparagus. If you don't want to grill, you could cook the chicken on your stovetop or bake it in the oven. Make a double batch and save the leftovers to add to a wrap or salad for lunch the next day.
