The Ultimate Meal Planning Routine

Published by Vicki on

Are you struggling to make healthy and nutritous meals for you and your family? Does it seem like you are always out of something and need to swing by the store or you don’t feel like cooking from scratch after a hard day and just order take-out? Would you like to know how to use your kitchen time more efficiently so you’re not always just cooking junk and cleaning messes?

If you’re like most of my clients, you’re struggling not just with what to put on the table, but how to get it there fast and in a semi-appetizing way. And you’ve probably caught on to the fact that it is nearly impossible to work all day, take care of kids and then whip up a wholesome meal with love by 6pm. Ladies, we’ve been hoodwinked. But you can have your Buddha Bowl and eat it too…

The trick to running an efficient (and scrumptious) kitchen is in the planning. We will focus on how to do a proper meal prep, so you have lots of healthy food on hand without spending tons of time in the grocery store or kitchen. This week we will:

  • Create a weekly meal plan structure.
  • Plan menus and shopping strategies.
  • Save time by preparing healthy food in advance.
  • Streamline your meal prep with tips and tricks to cut your time in the kitchen.

I have always loved to cook, and have had several foodservice jobs ranging from private chef where I would make vegetarian meals and fresh veggie juices for a growing family of 6, to years in an organic commercial kitchen prepping huge batches of “hippie” food. So you’re in good hands here. I know how to get healthy food on the table fast and effectively and you can too.

I’m Vicki Wiepking - a wellness coach, writer and teacher. I love to play outdoors and try not to take anything too seriously - myself especially. I work with busy women who are ready to start a new lifestyle, let go of negative thinking and basically anything else that is weighing them down. I help my clients embrace their best selves and stop listening to the voice that makes them self-sabotage. Yeah, we all have that little voice - and I'll help you make it work for you instead of against you! I have always been a student of alternative health and wellness, and wanted to find a way to combine my love of nutrition, essential oils, yoga, and nature into a productive lifestyle for myself. I started a wellness coaching practice and began working with clients over 15 years ago. Through the years I observed first hand how women specifically needed help in their daily lives on not just physical, but emotional and psychological levels as well. So, I developed the Mind Body Blueprint. It is designed to help busy women achieve their health and fitness goals. But first, a few things about me.... - I love doing laundry.  No ironing, and I don’t really separate colors.  My hubby doesn’t let me touch his clothes.  Maybe that’s why I like it… - I take bubble baths almost every night.  Sanctuary time for sure. - I turn the music up in the car and sing real loud. You do it too, I've seen you. - My favorite shows: Gone with the Wind – Scarlett rocks.  Grace and Frankie – because I love laughing and crying at the same time. - Cooking calms me down…until I get too many things going at once and wreck something.  It all tastes good in the end usually. - Thanks to my yoga practice I can still do the splits and a pretty good handstand.  Cartwheels optional. My hubby and I are obsessed with outdoor adventures. You might find us whitewater rafting, skiing or relaxing on the beach - depending on the season.
