Sometimes food prep just involves planning. I eat pretty much the same snacks every day. My morning snack is a light string cheese, 7 almonds and an apple. That is easy to prep. I put the string cheese and almonds in a snack size bag and grab an apple each day. My afternoon snack varies a bit more, but usually I have vegetables in some form so I chop as many fresh vegetables on Sunday as I can. Easy to grab. Sometimes I make a low point dip to dip my veggies in, and I make those ahead of time too on Sunday.

If I am super
organized I will also pre-chop any vegetables I need for recipes for
dinner. I store them in a bag and then
when I start to cook I can just skip all the chopping! I usually do at least one crock pot meal a
week too, and try to put that together on Sunday night as well.
Mostly the meal prep comes in handy when I am hungry. If I get home after work and I am starving, I
can grab the bag of veggies and the one point dip to snack on while I am making
dinner. That way I don’t reach for
something with more points right before dinner.
Then after dinner I can quickly chop up a few more veggies for the next
day. Another helpful thing for me is
storing a few healthy things at work. I
keep a box of my morning oatmeal here in case I am super rushed in the morning
and also have a few bags of 2 point snacks stored in my desk just in case. I can almost always fit an extra two points
into my day.
A few more of my favorites?
Laughing cow cheese with crackers and grapes. Babybel cheese with crackers. Popcorn (Angie’s chickaboom popcorn is
great). I always bag this up into individual serving sized bags so I don't accidentally eat the whole bag! Veggies with ½ cup Greek yogurt
and 1 TBSP of ranch dip. I am not going
to lie, I also really love chocolate and have been buying a lot of the WW 2
point chocolate caramel bars. So easy
and so tasty.
Lastly, for me, presentation is key. My snacks look so pretty and inviting in the
glass jars just waiting for me to eat. I
feel so happy when my lunch bag is filled with carefully prepared snacks. I hope this helps!
