To begin, compile a selection of family favourites and new recipes. Weekly batches work the best, as you can easily repeat it when you find a plan that suits you. You don’t have to cook all your meals at the beginning of the week – it’s enough to simply plan what you’ll eat on any given day and then shop accordingly. Want to try making a more complicated recipe? Opt for a day when you have a bit more time. When planning, ensure you’ve got a healthy balance of nutrients. A diet plan is a great way to achieve these goals. Think about seasonality, too; healthy meal prep is best when it includes the vegetables and greens that are at their most flavourful.
You may not hit the mark every day at first; some meals may not turn out as you planned, or your portions may be too large or small. A little trial and error is necessary! Eventually, however, you’ll learn to know your portions by instinct. You can also mix up your meal prep plan with exciting midweek recipes that strike the right balance between fast preparation times and maximum taste. Weekly meal kits are one great way to meet these meal prep needs. If the stress of finding great recipes, sourcing ingredients and carefully portioning them is what’s standing in your way, you can rely on Marley Spoon to ease these healthy meal prep woes each and every week!
Healthy meal prep is about planning or cooking your dinners in advance. You can prepare your dishes in one big sitting, pre-portion ingredients, or freeze in batches. It’s the perfect solution for busy schedules and even better for meeting healthy targets. Wholesome meal ideas like curry, casserole or lasagna not only taste great, they freeze perfectly for the next week! Meal prepping ensures you know exactly what you’re getting. Grocery store TV dinners and takeout tend to be high in salt, fat, and sugar; with meal prep, you can enjoy the same convenience without the downsides.
Why does meal prepping work? Because it revolves around your schedule. Cook when you have spare time for the days when you don’t, like late workdays or the kids’ soccer practice evenings. Even better, you can portion leftovers for lunchboxes as a great way to reduce food waste. Healthy meal prep works because you come home to a home-cooked meal plan that’s ready to go. No shopping, very little prep; just eating! It really is that simple. Need more convincing that healthy meals can be so easy to create? Check out the Marley Spoon menu and feel inspired.

I love Marley Spoon , I’ve tried other brands but none are as good. They have a huge menu selection, produce is the freshest, and the meals are incredibly tasty. I don’t have to think about what to cook just be excited about what I’m about to eat !
We’ve finished our second box - two orders so far, and I’m absolutely loving the flavours of the food and how everything is organised in the paper bags ready to go. It’s taken all the guesswork out of trying to figure out what to eat for dinner, because it is structured, organised and waiting to go... Further, the best thing of all is that it is teaching me how to cook properly and yummy foods. So I am learning so much as well. Thanks!!
Great variety of recipes, it really makes cooking a good variety of healthy and tasty meals each week easy.
It's your recipes, your ready meals, your snacks and your handy extras. It's your entire week, simplified.
