#PantryPower #MealPrepTips
Every Friday I share my FOOD PREP FRIDAY series where I prepare food for my family for the upcoming week. Check out my introduction post here where I explain all the benefits, why I food prep, and food prep tips and make sure you watch the first-ever Food Prep Friday video on YouTube.
For this week’s FOOD PREP FRIDAY I’m preparing for the week ahead with a mini-session. I’ve had a super busy morning and only have a few hours to spare before I need to do the school pick-up. This shows you don’t need to dedicate a whole day to preparing food to make a difference in your week, just make sure you prioritise what you need to get done that will most help you out.
Today I’m preparing:
- Dishwasher powder top-up, I prefer low tox for my kitchen dishwasher products.
- Freezer smoothie packs for a quick and easy breakfast.
- Chocolate chip cookies (x3 batches) for my daughters camp and the freezer to have on hand.
- Breadcrumbs to stock up for dinners.
- Kombucha, is my daily drink for gut health.
Today I prepared:
DISHWASHER POWDER – 2 cups baking soda 1/2 cup citric acid.
x6 FREEZER SMOOTHIE PACKS – 1/2 banana mix of mango + blueberries TO MAKE ADD: 250ml milk and 1 tablespoon yoghurt.
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES recipe – x2 batches baked x1 batch frozen into two logs.
Chocolate Chip Cookie TIP once you have placed your cookie dough onto the baking tray press on a few extra chocolate chips, this makes the cookies look extra chocolatey,
BREADCRUMBS recipe directions.
KOMBUCHA – 7 black tea bags, 3/4 cup white sugar, scoby and Kombucha starter tea.
This week I saved money by using up old bread for breadcrumbs, making chocolate chip cookies for my daughter to take to camp, instead of buying treats, using up bananas for a quick breakfast option and having a yummy drink to have during the week.
I hope this helps inspire you in the kitchen to create and food prep for your family!
