There’s something about starting the week knowing snacks are sorted that just hits differently.
No scrambling in the morning when packing lunch boxes. No last-minute “we’ve got nothing to eat” meltdowns. Less reaching for packets and processed foods. Just grab-and-go food that keeps everyone full and happy (and saves a stack of money too).
This week’s prep was all about easy wins - food the kids (and I) will actually eat and that works for breakfasts, snacks and lunch boxes.
What I prepped this week
Crunchy granola bars
Perfect for lunchboxes, after-school snacks or those “I’m starving” moments five minutes after breakfast.
Yoghurt pouches
Bulk yoghurt portioned into reusable pouches = less waste, less cost, and way more convenience. Approved by mums, loved by kids.
Healthy breakfast muffins
Great for busy mornings when sitting down just isn’t happening. Pop one in a container and you’re out the door.
High-protein choc chip muffins
Because protein + chocolate = a win for everyone. These keep little tummies fuller for longer and feel like a treat.
Cookie dough protein balls
The snack that somehow disappears the fastest. Easy to make, freezer-friendly and perfect for lunchboxes or afternoon tea.
Use Sinchies reusable freezer bags to store all your goodies in keeping them fresh and making sure you freezer stays ORGANISED!
Why weekly food prep is a game changer
- Saves money by buying in bulk
- Reduces packaging waste with reusables
- Keeps kids fuller for longer
- Cuts down on last-minute snack buys
- Makes mornings calmer (which is priceless)
Everything’s ready to feed two hungry boys … if it survives the weekend!
Save money and reduce waste - future-you will be very grateful.
