Meal prep de-bunked!
Episode description
According to grandviewresearch.com, the global meal kit delivery services market size was valued at USD 10.26 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0% from 2021 to 2028.
So people spend a ton of money every year on prepared, delivered meals.
Meal prep is simple:
According to healthline.comThe most popular ways to meal-prep include:
- Make-ahead meals: Full meals cooked in advance which can be refrigerated and reheated at mealtimes. This is particularly handy for dinnertime meals.
- Batch cooking: Making large batches of a specific recipe, then splitting it into individual portions to be frozen and eaten over the next few months. These make for popular warm lunch or dinner options.
- Individually portioned meals: Preparing fresh meals and portioning them into individual grab-and-go portions to be refrigerated and eaten over the next few days. This is particularly handy for quick lunches.
- Ready-to-cook ingredients: Prepping the ingredients required for specific meals ahead of time as a way to cut down on cooking time in the kitchen.
Defined by preparing a meal before you plan to eat it, left-overs, sandwiches, specific diets and more.

Action items:
If you don’t meal prep at all, just try a couple of days, buy one package of meat and one bag of veggies, maybe a sweet potato or brown rice. Put that stuff in bowls and eat it for a couple of days instead of your usual.
If you do prep already, maybe join a meal prep group and mix it up a little, maybe even just change up your seasonings.
To cut time in the kitchen, stick to a consistent schedule and make use of a shopping list. Picking the right combination of meals and organizing your cooking is also important.
1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
