About this session

Meal prep works best when it saves time and makes weekday food easier, not when it turns Sunday into an exhausting production line.

Smart Meal Prep focuses on the practical side: what to prep and what not to, how to reuse ingredients across meals, and how to store and assemble food safely.

There is no cooking in the session. A nutrition professional brings versatile components, some already cooked, and shows how to wash, chop, portion, store and assemble them into different meals. In person, participants prepare components alongside the expert.
