Weekly Preparation Strategy

Our plan focuses on two key moments:

• Sunday : Preparing meatballs, protein cookies and snacks
• Monday : Finalizing snacks while the chicken cooks

Sunday Optimization

Sunday preparation allows you to:

• Prepare meatballs for several meals
• Prepare protein cookies for the week
• Prepare all snack portions
• Save time on weeknights
• Reduce food waste

Meatballs: a strategic base!

The preparation of meatballs is strategic because it:

• Prepare protein for 2 meals and 2 lunches
• Optimizes Sunday preparation time
• Makes weekday meals easier
