Looking to simplify your week with healthier meals? Dr. Sharvari Parghi of Salveo Direct Care shares practical tips to make meal prepping easier and more nutritious. See how you can turn meal prepping into a colorful, healthy routine that saves time and supports your wellness all week long.
As the summer season comes to an end, it’s the ideal moment to refresh your eating routine and get back into a regular schedule. A short meal-prep session each Sunday can carry you through the busy week while keeping nutrition on track.
Start by cooking two cups of quinoa, soaking and pressure‑cooking a pot of beans or lentils, and roasting a sheet pan of mixed vegetables. Store each component in clear containers so vibrant colors invite you to build quick bowls, salads, or wraps instead of reaching for convenience foods.
Protein is the season’s unsung hero. Aim for 20–30 grams at every meal to protect muscle, stabilize blood sugar, and curb cravings. Easy sources include nut or seed butters, cottage cheese, hard‑boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, canned wild fish, and an occasional scoop of quality protein powder blended into a smoothie.
Hydration is just as important. Dehydration often masquerades as hunger, so keep a reusable bottle within reach and sip throughout the day. Add a squeeze of citrus or a sprig of mint if plain water feels dull.
