Here are my 3 Quickie Go-To Meal Prep Tips for Busy Mamas During Sports Season!
Prep + Pack + Track = Non-Negotiable for ME on a sports-filled day on the go….and pretty much every day that ends in “Y,” if I’m being honest!
Saturday in this house is sports day, ALL DAY which of course, means I turn into the food bag lady! I will not leave the house without food, snacks, water, and a few extra snacks for everyone else (yes, they know I don’t let anyone go hungry).
Why? Because I never want to run into that situation where I’m ravenous. You know what I’m talking about mamas, that hangry, sassy, I will eat anything and everything I can get my hands on feeling.
Not only do you get a ton of comfort knowing you have a cooler full of food in the car, but it also allows you to stay full and avoid the dreaded ravenous hangry situation.
Now, if you’re sitting there thinking, “gosh, I don’t have time for this,” then I’m going to challenge you with these questions:
+ How much time are you scrolling on social media? Could you cut it down by 10 minutes?
+ What about waking up just 10 minutes earlier to pack your food?
Being prepared takes under 10 minutes! You can easily start with a few snacks and pack the foods you love. You don’t have to get fancy with it. Trust me, keeping it simple is key! Start making a list of what foods or meals you like. Keep it simple and tasty, and start thinking differently when you leave the house…. Make it a point not to leave empty-handed.

I try to stick to one protein bar or shake a day and eat real foods, but when you’re away all day from your kitchen, you do what’s good for the body, budget and taste buds. I pack:
2 Turkey Sandwiches
2 x 1/2 serving of chips
2 x One Bars @one1brands
Pack snacks, food, and water like you’re a toddler. You would never leave home without a bottle for your baby or snacks for your little ones. Consider yourself an adult toddler. Here’s a video of my packing process!
Make sure every meal is packed with some sort of protein. This could be tuna, greek yogurt, deli turkey, protein powder, or lentils.
FML Tip: If you’re short on time and ideas for what to make, double up your favorites and make your life easier. Again, keep it simple!
