Jaliyah Dmitrovic

Well, well, well, look who's here! Someone who struggles with meal prep and cooking, huh? Don't worry, my friend, you're not alone. I've been there too, and let me tell you, it's not a fun place to be. But hey, don't you worry, because I'm here to help you out!

So, you want some unique meal planning ideas, right? Alright, let's get into it then. First things first, let's break it down into three categories: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

For breakfast, I suggest going for some overnight oats. You might be thinking, "Wait, what? Oats? Boring!" But hear me out, my friend. Overnight oats are easy to make, delicious, and most importantly, they're super convenient. All you need to do is mix together some oats, milk (or any kind of milk substitute), and some sweetener (like honey or maple syrup), and leave it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, you just have to add your favorite toppings, and voilà, you have a nutritious and tasty breakfast ready to go.

Now, let's move on to lunch. If you're someone who usually skips lunch or just grabs something quick to eat, I suggest trying out meal prepping some salads. Yes, salads! Don't roll your eyes just yet, my friend, because these salads are not your average boring salads. You can mix and match different types of greens, veggies, fruits, nuts, and even grains. Just make sure to keep the dressings separate until you're ready to eat, so that your salad doesn't get soggy.

Finally, dinner. This is where things get a bit more interesting. Have you ever tried making your own pizza? Not the kind that you order from a restaurant, but the homemade kind. It's easier than you think, and it's a fun activity to do with your family or friends. You can buy pre-made pizza dough (or make your own, if you're feeling ambitious), and then add whatever toppings you like. The possibilities are endless, really.

If pizza is not your thing, then how about some sheet pan dinners? All you need to do is layer your veggies, protein, and carbs on a baking sheet, add some seasoning, and bake it in the oven. Easy peasy, right? Plus, there's only one dish to clean afterward, so you won't have to worry about a sink full of dishes.

There you have it, my friend. Some unique meal planning ideas to help you out with your struggles. Remember, meal prep and cooking doesn't have to be a chore. Get creative, experiment with different flavors, and most importantly, have fun with it!
