Meal Planning is a great way to give more structure to your weeks. Please note, meal planning is not the same thing as meal prepping!! It’s just brainstorming some ideas for the week and putting it down on paper.
This doesn’t have to be extravagant! Items can come from a can, bag, or box and STILL nourish your body. This is the perfect time to start incorporating more of this into your life! Grab our meal planning guide below.
