Tips for Easy and Efficient Prep:
- Keep a stash of ready-to-go breakfasts like overnight oats, egg muffins, or protein pancakes in your freezer. These grab-and-go options ensure you start your day right even during hectic holiday mornings and can prevent impulsive pastry runs during holiday shopping.
- Instead of keeping entire batches of cookies or treats readily available, portion them into individual servings and freeze them. This way, you can enjoy seasonal favorites mindfully without the temptation to overindulge. Use small sandwich bags or containers to create built-in portion control.
- Take 30 minutes after grocery shopping to wash and cut vegetables for quick snacking and meal assembly. Having cucumber slices, carrot sticks, and bell pepper strips ready to go makes it easier to reach for healthy options when you’re hungry between holiday events.
