Meal prep for healthy lunches
- Meal Prep
Stuck for healthy lunch ideas? Feel like you’ve got a fridge full of food, but nothing actually to eat?
If you want a simple meal prep that actually helps you make a healthy lunch or a grab and go snack, I’ve got the answer for you…
a fridge FILLER.
A one tray bake, roast veggies – anything that helps you open your fridge and see exactly how you can create a 2 minute meal.
This has been so helpful for us to not only always have a healthy grab and go option in the fridge, but also helps to take the thinking out of what to actually eat!

Mix them with salads, chuck them on a wrap or even a bit of toast in the morning!
