Need to meal prep because you have some lofty fitness goals but hate to cook?!?

NO WAY! ME TOO!

I don't know about you but I don't have a lot of free time and I don't want to spend all of it in the kitchen. Currently, my extra moments are spent having fun outside, which is WAYYYY better than stressing in the kitchen.

In today's episode, I'm going to share with you my 5-4-3-2-1 method and how easy it is to put a grocery list together as well as what a typical day would look like when you use this magical meal prep method.

First, take 10 minutes and put your Cinderella pants on and clean out your kitchen. Chances are if it lives in your kitchen, pantry, fridge, or freezer then at 10pm it will live in your belly! True story!

Try asking, does this support my goals?

If it's a YES, keep it.

If it's a NOPE, then trash it!
