Looking to optimize your wellness routine with meal prep? Try Functional Meal Prep. Cameron Linville, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and founder of @freckledfoodie, suggests starting small: “Try prepping only breakfasts or lunches or even just cutting all the vegetables [in advance] so that the cooking time for dinner is shortened.” Why keep functional nutrition in mind? Much of traditional nutrition is one-size-fits-all and doesn’t consider our bio-individual needs and lifestyle. Functional nutrition takes all aspects of our lives into account and focuses on the larger picture, not just on whether a food is considered “good” or “bad” for you. While choosing which foods to make for your meals, keep your unique needs and wants in mind – just because a recipe says it’s good for you doesn’t mean it’s good for you! Functional foods are any foods that offer health benefits beyond their caloric value. Besides nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, other functional foods include ingredients that contain probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
