The benefits of meal prep

The benefits of meal prep

People do meal prep in different ways: some will batch cook seven meals at once at the beginning of the week, while others prefer to write up a plan for the week, buy the necessary ingredients, then whip something up fresh each evening. But is meal prep right for you? Hold on, we’ll answer for you: Yes!

Meal prep is about finding what works for you. If you find yourself constantly skipping breakfast or running out of the door armed only with a slice of cold pizza, meal prepping can help you plan a healthy treat for the mornings to give you energy throughout the day. Similarly, meal prep in the evenings can give you something to look forward to – a wholesome hour spent cooking and tasting delicious food; perfect for winding down after a day at work.

If you decide to cook all your week’s meals in one go, you need to first have the right food containers. Multi-size containers that are freezer durable are ideal, and perfect for single to family portioning. Reusable freezer bags are also a must. Prep any meal that holds up well in storage and won’t change in taste. Cooked meats, roasted veggies, stews, sauces, and soups are ideal. Use dependable recipes, too – it’s no good choosing a complicated meal prep only to discover you don’t like the taste!

Of course, there is an alternative for those who want to save time but who demand variety in their meal plans. Meal prep services rather save time on portioning ingredients, finding exciting recipes and sourcing everything for you – meaning you still get the joy of cooking something new each night, just with less hassle!

FAQs about Meal Prep with Marley Spoon:

During our sign-up process, you can pick the number of meals you would like to make each week and how many people you’ll be cooking for. We’ll then send you the right amount of food each week for your meal prep needs. Pro tip: if you’re a real fan of one recipe in particular, you can always increase the number of portions you would like of this meal over another choice. If you like variety, select three, four, five or more meals to prep from our list of 50+ recipes.

Prep time for our recipes varies according to which ones you select, but most take 30 minutes or less. We do have a specific category of ‘quick & easy’ recipes you can select if you’re really short on time, and all cooking times are listed on the recipes so that you can make an informed choice about which ones will suit your schedule for any given week.

Buying groceries online can be convenient, but this does nothing to tackle the stress or hassle of meal prep and planning. A meal kit service from Marley Spoon makes life easier by suggesting 50+ tasty recipes each week and then sending you all the ingredients and instructions you need to put your favourites together.

Once you’ve selected your recipes for the week, our team will then pre-portion just the right amount of ingredients and produce you need for each recipe and send this to you, along with a printed menu card so you can prep the meal with ease at home. We don’t usually send all the basics we expect you have at home (e.g. oil, flour, salt & pepper) to avoid wastage, but you receive everything else (e.g. meat/fish, vegetables, spices, sauces) needed for the recipe.
If you need a break from the meal prep service, you can pause your delivery the week before it ships (usually up to 4 or 5 days before it’s due to be delivered, depending on your region). This is handy in case you go away for a week, for example, since we don’t want to waste the food! Skip as many weeks as you need to – you’re in control.

Your diet, your choice…

With an exceptional variety on offer each and every week, you can select recipes that suit your desired meal subscription. Special diets welcome! Whether you want healthy meals, low-carb options, meaty dishes or vegetarian, Marley Spoon provides meal options for you. From family-friendly meals, to quick & easy recipes, we’re also the kings & queens of convenient home cooking. Check out our menu to see what’s cooking this week.
