    Sharing a few of my go-to meal prep concepts for youths, particularly as we’re within the again to high school season. We’ve additionally made a mission to cut back packaged snacks, however I nonetheless refill on pantry necessities and faves from Thrive Market. <— my hyperlink will get you 40% off your first order

    Hello associates! How are you? I hope that you just’re having fun with the week thus far. We’re discovering our new routine with the homeschool state of affairs + Liv is taking a break from dance (I’m admittedly somewhat unhappy, however undoubtedly don’t miss driving half-hour there and again twice a day). Now that we’re on the go and packing lunches once more, there are a few issues I’ve tried to do in a different way.

    Meal prep for youths and lowering packaged snacks

    – Meal prep a ton.

    It’s so useful to have a fridge stuffed with wholesome staples for snacks and meals.

    Listed here are a number of the issues I’ve been making every week:

    – Fruit prep. If there’s fruit, able to go within the fridge, they may completely eat it as an alternative of grabbing a bar or packaged deal with. Melons are in season and so good proper now, so these days I’ve been selecting up a few completely different melons (the children particularly love Piel de Sapo and golden watermelon) and chopping them to retailer in glass containers. I additionally soak berries in water and vinegar for 2-5 minutes (1 half vinegar to three components water), rinse, and allow them to dry fully. Then I put paper towels within the backside of a glass container with a lid. They final a lot longer this manner! We often do a mixture of berries: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. I additionally soak grapes and plums in water + vinegar for about quarter-hour, dry, and retailer in an open glass bowl within the fridge. The youngsters will simply seize handfuls of grapes all through the day and I like that we’re all consuming extra fruit!

    – Vitality bites. I’ve fairly a couple of completely different recipes right here on the weblog (like these!) however a favourite is equal components cashews and pitted dates, cinnamon, somewhat salt, vanilla extract and a drizzle of maple syrup.

    (this is the reason I don’t take meals photographs for the weblog anymore lol)

    – Protein prep: shredded rooster, seasoned floor beef, and egg bites

    –Veggie prep: I’ll peel and chop some cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots. They’re straightforward for them to serve themselves and dip into home made hummus or guac. In addition they just like the ready-to-go edamame.

    –Dip: hummus and guacamole are the fan favorites round right here.

    – Breakfast choices, just like the egg bites, in a single day oats, breakfast cookies (they nonetheless love these!), chia pudding. I additionally make avocado in a snap for a college day bfast and serve with Applegate breakfast sausages.

    – One completely different/new/enjoyable factor every week. This is likely to be like a rooster or pasta salad, Spanish tortilla, quiche, or chilly noodle dish with veggies and protein that they’ll simply seize out of the fridge on their very own.

    – Scale back packaged snacks.

    We nonetheless have our go-tos, which I’ll checklist under, however the actuality is that a number of packaged snacks are costly and don’t have nice components. I may make 20 superior home made vitality bites for the price of 2 little 4 packs at Entire Meals. Our snacks have been an enormous portion of our insane grocery finances and it’s really easy is to make them at dwelling, and customise them for the children.

    Among the packaged snacks we nonetheless purchase:

    – Nuts, dried fruit, path combine

    – Canned beans (for hummus!) and so they additionally love the Lupini snacking beans from Thrive Market

    – Seaweed snacks

    – GoMacro bars

    -Poshi veggie packs

    – Snack-sized cheeses

    – Cottage cheese

    – Chia pouches

    – Jerky

    – Popcorn or Siete chips

    – Deli meat – they’ll roll it up with cream cheese or mayo

    – Sardines. I often make a sardine soften, however the youngsters will eat them out of the can straight-up

    – Easy Mills merchandise (just like the crackers, cookies, and baking mixes)

    A few of my favourite Thrive Market finds and wholesome manufacturers are on this put up. 

    – Return to planning dinners and prepping as a lot as I can throughout the day.

    We’ve been doing a number of on-the-fly dinners since we received dwelling from Spain, particularly because the Pilot has been working/touring a lot. Again to high school was the kick within the pants I wanted to begin planning and making extra dinners, as an alternative of last-minute takeout or random hodge podge meals. (Additionally, I’ve discovered that I actually must plan and prep dinners after I’m solo parenting as a result of by the point we get dwelling from sports activities, it’s time for dinner.)

    A few of my favourite solo parenting dinners are on this put up!

    So inform me, associates: what are a few of your go-to home made snacks for the children?
