Kitchen Essentials for Low-Carb / Keto Meal Prep
I’m a huge believer in the power of weekly meal prepping—it’s my secret weapon for staying on budget, getting creative with ingredients I already have, and constantly trying new recipes. Since having weight loss surgery, I’ve been focusing on meals that are lower in carbs and higher in protein, and prepping ahead makes that so much easier. Here’s how I do it: Every weekend, I whip up a batch of something delicious—usually four servings. I freeze three and keep one fresh, then rotate through my frozen meals during the week by defrosting them overnight. This way, I get variety without the daily cooking grind, and I leave a couple of nights open for spontaneity or leftovers. On extra-productive weekends, I’ll double up and prep two meals, giving myself a break the following weekend. This list includes my go-to equipment, ingredients and staples that make meal prep a breeze. They’re reliable, reheat beautifully, and keep things simple without sacrificing flavour.
