Batch Cooking Basics: Fuel Once, Eat Well All Week

Life is busy between work, family, and everything in between. No wonder that our nutrition isn’t often a priority. That’s where batch cooking comes in.

Think of it as doing the work once so you can eat well all week. It’s not about spending hours in the kitchen, it’s about investing time to prepare your meals for the week so that you know what you will be eating.

Signs You Could Benefit from Batch Cooking
• You find yourself skipping meals or grabbing fast food.
• Healthy eating feels overwhelming during busy weeks.
• You waste food because fresh groceries go unused.
• You get tired of asking: “What’s for dinner?”

Why Batch Cooking Works
• Saves time: one prep session = multiple meals.
• Saves money: less waste, fewer last-minute takeout runs.
• Supports goals: healthy, protein-rich meals ready when you are.
• Reduces stress: no daily scramble for what to eat.

Easy Batch Cooking Staples
• Grains: quinoa, rice, or oats (make once, use in bowls all week).
• Vegan Proteins: roasted chickpeas, beans, or prepped tofu.
• Non-Vegan: poultry, such as skinless chicken and turkey breast;
seafood, like fish and shellfish; lean cuts of red meat, such as pork
loin and sirloin
• Veggies: sheet-pan roasted veggies you can mix and match.
• Snacks: overnight oats, protein bites, or energy bars.
