Student Meal Plan Ideas
Meal planning as a student is essential for maintaining a balanced diet whilst also navigating a busy schedule and a limited budget. To create a meal plan, start by taking inventory of your pantry, fridge, and freezer to identify what ingredients you already have. Plan your meals around these items to minimise waste and save money. Another good tip is to opt for simple and versatile ingredients that can be used in multiple recipes. If you’re really short on time, consider batch cooking on weekends to prepare larger quantities of meals that can be portioned and frozen for later use. Choose recipes that are not only quick and easy to prepare, but that also require minimal equipment to save time and energy. So you can spend less time worrying about eating, and more time doing the most important things like studying, having fun and making friends! Make a weekly meal schedule to help you stay organised and ensure a variety of nutrients in your diet, as it is so easy to forget to eat fruit and vegetables when you’re a student.If planning your meals takes too much time out of your busy schedule, however, we understand. With a HelloFresh food box, you can choose the meals you want for the week, and we will deliver all of the ingredients, pre-portioned, straight to your door, complete with step-by-step recipe instructions so you don’t get lost along the way. Eat delicious recipes and improve your cooking skills with HelloFresh.
