Tips for Easy and Efficient Prep:
- The holiday week can get busy with family gatherings and festive events. To save time and avoid stress, plan your meals for the entire week in advance and prep as much as you can ahead of time (with this meal plan!). Chop vegetables, marinate proteins, and assemble casseroles or dishes like soups and stews a few days before. That way, you can simply pop them in the oven or slow cooker when it’s time to eat. You can even freeze some dishes if you have the space, making your Christmas Week prep a breeze.
- Prep “emergency options” like hard-boiled eggs, yogurt parfaits, or smoothie packs that only need blending. These options will help you stay on track with your Weight Watchers goals while still enjoying the holiday season.
- Take advantage of the time you spend in the kitchen by batch cooking your proteins and staples for the week. Grill or roast extra chicken breasts, turkey, or vegetables in one go, then store them in the fridge for easy access. You can use these proteins in various meals throughout the week, like salads, wraps, or casseroles. By cooking in bulk, you’ll have quick, nutritious options ready to go, ensuring that your meals remain stress-free even during the busiest days of the holiday week.
