Start Preppin’

As an M&F reader, you probably know a thing or two about meal prepping. If not, it’s high time you plan out a meal prep day. It will ultimately save you time and money. It takes work, but once you’ve adapted to the lifestyle there’s no going back to brown bags. Here’s some inspiration from some Instagrammers we’ve seen living the “tublife.”

Make It Routine

Some wise words from this fellow meal prepper, “I’m just trying to say that instead of a chore, or a task it needs to be life. If you can make that integration then it’s just something that has to be done every couple of days…like making the bed.”
