Less food waste

Meal prep saves time, effort and waste.

If you only eat small portions and don’t like spending time in the kitchen if you can avoid it, you can turn this to your advantage. Simply pick a time to cook a larger amount and store individual portions in the fridge or freezer. This works particularly well with soups, sauces and dishes like ratatouille, for example. Once a common practice known as pre-cooking, it now carries the trendier name “meal prep”. This new old trend offers a host of advantages, allowing you to use produce while it’s still fresh from the market and store it until you want to eat it.
meal-prep_image-copy-1-home-made-is-healthier-tastier.jpg

Home-made is healthier and tastier.

Shopping consciously and choosing seasonal produce means you can cook with fresh produce. It also means avoiding processed ready meals. One advantage of meal prep is the certainty of knowing you have delicious, home-made meals waiting for you for the next few days, or even the entire week. But that’s not all: home-made food can often be healthier and tastier, too. Cooking for yourself means you are in control of all the ingredients, that end up on your plate, or in your resealable containers and lunch boxes.
meal-prep_image-copy-2-meal-preppers-are-aware-of-what-they-eat.jpg

Meal preppers are aware of what they eat.

Cook once and enjoy it for several  days. Meal prepping is an ideal solution, especially when you arrive home exhausted after a day at work and would otherwise mindlessly choose pasta with ready-made sauce or a frozen pizza. This is one way meal prepping can help to eat more healthy. After all, if you’re more aware of your food and portion size, you’ll notice sooner when you’re full.
meal-prep_image-copy-3-prevents-food-waste.jpg

Meal prep prevents food waste.

So, meal prep helps you to save time and eat more healthily. More than that, though, it allows you to do your bit to fight food waste. If you cook two or three portions in advance, there usually won’t be any half-used ingredients left over. Instead, you might even be able to freeze a little stockpile for those hectic, stressful days.
mealprep_image-copy-4_saves-money_h_1400x1200.jpg

La préparation des repas permet d'économiser de l'argent et des emballages.

La préparation des repas est également plus rentable. Si vous achetez votre déjeuner dans un café et que vous optez pour l'option livraison, vous paierez beaucoup plus cher. De plus, si vous commandez un plat à emporter ou optez pour des plats préparés, vous devrez également faire face à beaucoup plus d'emballages. L'exemple de la préparation des repas montre qu'en prenant même de petites mesures, vous pouvez vivre de manière plus durable et éviter le gaspillage des restes de nourriture et des emballages.

La préparation de repas en 8 étapes faciles.

Plus les ingrédients de votre plan de repas hebdomadaire se chevauchent, mieux c'est. Nous avons mis au point 8 étapes simples pour vous aider dans la préparation des repas.

meal-prep_slider_create-storage-space_card-1.jpg

Make space

Create the storage space you need.

Space is an important factor when it comes to meal prepping. If you’re sharing a small fridge and a tiny freezer compartment with your flatmate and only have a tiny food shelf, you might face some difficulties. Cooking ahead for the entire week? Out of the question! Consider how and where you can store your prepped meals before you make them. For example, a cellar could be a good solution.
meal-prep_slider_basics_card-2.jpg

Basics

Make sure you have the basic meal prep equipment.

Good preparation includes having a good stock of food in tins, resealable containers or glass jars. We recommend keeping a stock of rice, pasta, millet, porridge oats, cous cous, bulgur, onions, garlic, nuts, quality oils, a range of spices, mustard and soy sauce.
Avoiding food waste starts with planning meals ahead

Planning

Organise your week and find recipes.

Something else worth mentioning when it comes to preparation: consider what you want to eat that week before you storm the supermarket. Flick through your cookbooks or browse the internet; check out the Braun recipe library to find some inspiration. Ideally, you should plan your week so that you can make full use of any leftovers. For example, you might plan two rice-based dishes so you only have to cook rice once. Checking your calendar might help, too. Have you agreed to go out for dinner at all this week?
Shopping for meal prep

Shopping

Choosing food more carefully.

Another upside to meal prep is, that if you take the time to focus on planning, shopping and meal prepping, you’ll automatically give your food the attention it deserves. Instead of just picking up the first thing you see, you can focus more on carefully selecting food that’s fresh, organic and local. This way, you’ll only buy what you really need and end up reducing or even eliminating food waste. Plus, shopping like this is far more pleasant than rushing through the aisles at the end of the day.
Cooking for meal prep

Cucinare

Programma una sessione di cottura e preparazione fissa per ogni settimana

Quindi, quanto tempo dovresti prenderti per cucinare le porzioni per più giorni? Non preoccuparti, non dovrebbe impiegarti più di 2-3 ore a settimana. La cosa migliore da fare è riservare un momento fisso al meal prepping nel tuo programma settimanale. Questo rende più facile entrare in una routine che ti potrà piacere o potrai addirittura trovare rilassante. Dover lavare solo una volta, inoltre, ti farà risparmiare altro tempo. Idealmente, dovresti cucinare piatti con step di preparazione in comune. Ad esempio, se hai bisogno delle patate in diversi piatti, potresti cucinarle tutte insieme in una grande pentola. Questo ti farà risparmiare anche energia. Se vuoi usare i pomodori in vari piatti, distribuiscili semplicemente nelle varie vaschette o contenitori per il pranzo.
Ingredients for varied meals

Ingredienti

Piatti variati : Estremamente benefici

Verdure di stagione. Le opzioni ideali includono : carote (ad esempio come crudité), zucche (cotte con olio e spezie), zucchine (arrostite), pomodori (ciliegini come snack), melanzane (arrostite), broccoli (al vapore), peperoni (crudi o arrostiti) e avocado. 

I carboidrati danno energia. Tra le gustose pietanze che li includono ci sono : patate, patate dolci, riso, pasta (idealmente integrale), miglio, quinoa, cous cous e bulgur (grano spezzato). 

Le proteine sono una parte importante di ogni pasto, e ti aiuteranno a sentirti sazio. Le trovi nella carne, nel pesce, nel tofu, nei legumi, nella ricotta, nello yogurt e nelle uova cotte. 

Salse/sughi per dare ai tuoi ingredienti per il meal prep quel tocco extra di sapore. Ti consigliamo la salsa di pomodoro o il ketchup, la panna acida alle erbe, il pesto, l'hummus e il guacamole.
Storing food in a practical way

Vaschette & contenitori

Pratici modi di conservare il tuo "meal prep"

Dopo aver cucinato, devi dividere i piatti in singole porzioni dentro a diverse vaschette richiudibili, contenitori e vasetti di vetro. Se possibile, usa vaschette adatte al microonde in modo da non dover travasare il cibo per riscaldarlo. Se puoi impilare le vaschette e conservarle facilmente nei cassetti del tuo frigo e freezer, sarai a posto.  Ci sono anche molti altri modi di trasportare il cibo in sicurezza, da vecchi vasetti in vetro, a contenitori per il pranzo ultra-pratici con sezioni individuali per le porzioni, a Thermos per tenere le tue zuppe al calde. 
Avoid storing moist food

Dressings & sauces

Layer your ingredients well so that nothing gets squishy.

Ideally, you should keep salad dressings in a separate container or a little jar. This stops the dressing drenching the salad leaves by lunchtime. Dips and other sauces also taste best when added to the rest of the dish just before serving. Alternatively, you could put dressings and sauces at the bottom of the container so that they don’t leach through everything and make it squishy. Fresh fruit, salad leaves and vegetables belong at the top.

Did you know?


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Isn’t meal prep just a fancy name for an old idea? After all, our parents and grandparents planned meals in advance and cooked ahead. The new aspect of this food trend, which originated in the USA, is the holistic approach to nutrition and sustainability in relation to food. However, meal prepping originated on the fitness scene. It was created as a means of keeping tracking of exactly what a person was eating and in what quantities.
