Meal Planning in 6 Easy Steps
1. Allocate Time for Planning
Make sure to set aside enough time each week for meal planning. Try to pick a time when you are less likely to be disturbed or distracted.
2. Inventory Check
For each recipe, check to see what you currently have available to use. If you need extra ingredients, include them on your next shopping visit to ensure you're well-stocked.
3. Favourite Meals & New Recipes
Try to find a balance between what you know and love and new recipes you wish to try. This helps keep the meal planning fun and dynamic.
4. Use Leftovers Creatively
Rather than letting leftover food go to waste, find ways to reuse it in new recipes. This not only helps the environment but also saves you money.
5. Cook in Bulk
Rather than trying to cook each ingredient separately, learn how to cook multiple dishes and recipes at once. This helps you cut down on meal preparation time.
6. Optimise Ingredients
Check to see what ingredients can be used for multiple recipes, and try to have enough in stock each week. The more you can reuse the same ingredients, the better.
Meal Planning FAQs
What is meal planning?
Meal planning is the process of listing all the recipes to prepare in advance, as well as any ingredients needed to prepare each meal. It allows you to organise your meals better, reducing the risk of stress or last-minute shopping trips for missing ingredients.
What timeframe should a meal planner cover?
While you can set any timeframe you prefer for your meal plan, the best timeframe is usually a week. This will help you plan out meals in advance but not too far ahead that you might lose track.
How can meal planners help with feeding kids who are picky eaters?
Kids can be choosy when it comes to meals, and having a meal plan ensures fewer surprises in store, especially when it comes to meal times. You can always involve your kids in the meal planning process so that they can choose what they like ahead of time, and you can prepare them for any new recipes in advance.
Can meal planning help me save money?
Meal planning helps you stick to a set diet and reduces the risk of expensive shopping trips or fast food deliveries. With HelloFresh, you can also save money by having pre-portioned ingredients delivered straight to your door.
How can I use leftovers effectively in my meal plan?
If you have any leftovers, consider using them in other recipes rather than throwing them away. With HelloFresh, you will only get the amount of ingredients you need for each meal, thus reducing the risk of leftover ingredients or food.
