Transcript

Save money and time by doing this once a week. Welcome to another episode of Don't Call It Meal Prep because meal prep's a cult for freaks and psychos. But Tier, why do you feel that way? Tell us more. I would love to. If you're able to eat the same thing for ten days in a row, I'm concerned about your mental health. The lack of variety in your life is concerning, and I think we should admit that. Tim, I hear you, but let me make my case. Meal prep does not have to mean eating the same thing every day. Prepping a bunch of good food and creating a freezer stash not only lets you pick new things each day, but it also means you can tell your friends, family, and worse how much better and more organized you are than that. Because there's nothing better than bragging about your fully stocked freezer. Right? You have something like these high protein breakfast biscuits, which you can make in countless different variations. They're literally impossible to mess up. Do your dishes once, stop running around stressed every morning, and reheat them in two minutes before dropping your kids off at school or whatever adults do. And if meal preps for freaks, consider me one because I wrote the book on it. Kinda sounds like freak behavior to me, but I'm gonna have to trust you because these are delicious.
