Meal Prep, Made Simple

from The Midlife GlowGetter · host Jax Stys

Send Jax a text!Forget white-knuckle willpower. We’re building a wellness identity that makes healthy choices automatic—and it starts with a simple, repeatable meal prep system you can run in two hours every Sunday. We break down the plate method, portion anchors, and the exact order we cook to keep the kitchen smooth: slow cooker first, long-bake next, then sheet pans, stovetop, and no-bake to finish. You’ll get practical lists for veggies, high-quality carbs, and healthy fats, and a no-nonsense plan to shop smarter with bulk buys, seasonal produce, and the dirty dozen in mind.We also lean into the science of temptation and why prepped meals lower decision fatigue during chaotic weeks. From freezer labeling and headspace for liquids to portioning single servings for quick reheats, you’ll learn how to keep food fresh for three to five days in the fridge and three to six months in the freezer. Leftovers become building blocks for new meals—sweet potato folded into eggs, greens blended into smoothies, “everything but the kitchen sink” soups, and the freedom to eat dinner for breakfast when it works.To keep momentum high, we share our weekly ritual stack: planning meals midweek, curbside pickup by the weekend, and a Sunday morning cook that fuels the whole week. We’re also rolling out daily glow-up rituals and a weekly curriculum on Instagram, plus a free Substack workshop every Sunday at 2 p.m. Eastern for women over 40 ready to transform health, money, relationships, or any goal by 1% at a time. Tap play, steal the system, and start designing a week that supports the woman you’re becoming. If this helps you, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us your best prep hack—we’re learning alongside you.Recipes Support the show
