Meal Prep for Busy Students

Take a break from all that studying and come look at this. This easy meal prep will take you 40 mins max but will last you the whole week! Not a bad ratio, if you ask me.

When it comes to meal prepping, the hardest part is to gather the courage to start. "But I can't cook for my life:(" Take a seat, relax, you don't need to know how to cook for this, I got you.

Step 1: GET HIGH-QUALITY FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS

High-quality food storage containers will ensure that your meal prep can stay tasty and fresh throughout the week. You can easily get them at your local Walmart, or if you're feeling fancy; go check out your nearest or favourite kitchen supply store. I highly recommend the glass ones. They'll last you a long time and they won't stain like the plastic containers. They might not be as cheap as the plastic ones, but Quality over Quantity, always.

Step 2: BUY YOUR GROCERIES

You'll only need 7 ingredients.

• 2 cans of chickpeas

• 1 can of coconut milk

• 1 bag of spinach

• 2 onions

• 1 clove of garlic

• Quinoa

• Olive oil or any kind of oil

• Optional: 1 Lemon

as for seasoning make sure to stock up on salt, pepper, paprika, cumin seeds and turmeric!!

Step 3: Get cookin' good lookin'

Gather all the ingredients and get your cooking station ready. Make sure you rinse the canned chickpeas and wash the spinach and onion.

1. Cut the onions and garlic as fine as you can, set aside

2. Turn the heat up to medium-hot.

3. In a frying pan, add some oil and let it get sizzling hot.

4. In another saucepan, cook your quinoa by following the directions on the package.

5. Back to the frying pan, once the oil is sizzling hot, add the cumin seeds and let them get ∼toasty∼

6. Add the onions and garlic

7. Add 1 tbsp of salt,1 tbsp of turmeric and 1 tbsp of paprika or add more if you like it spicy ;)

8. Stir to make sure everything is well incorporated

9. Cook until the onions look a bit transparent and then add the spinach and watch it reduce to twice its size :/

10. Add the rinsed chickpeas and reduce the heat to a medium-low

11. Let it cook for 5 mins and then add half of the can of coconut milk

12. Let it cook for another 10 minutes and stir occasionally

13. By now both the chickpea dish and the quinoa should be fully cooked

14. Let them cool down and divide them equally in 5 separate containers

15. You've done it!! Enjoy your creation.

This is optional but cut a lemon and add it to each container. Spritzt before eating, it'll add a fresh kick

Store in the fridge and Enjoy :)
