What is a Core Meal? | Reduce Decision Fatigue and Support Meal Prep with this Minimalist Approach

One of the best ways to simplify your life is to reduce the number of decisions you need to make each day...even when it comes down to the meals you eat each day. Incorporating a core meal can be a great way to make life easier and simplify your cooking or meal prep! This video explains what a core meal is and provides some tips to help you choose one.

Reflection Questions:
1. What could my core meal be?

2. What ingredients are needed for this core meal?

3. What tasks could be done to help meal prep this meal in advance?

4. What could be some possible variations to this meal if I am looking for some new flavors?

This video was created as part of my decluttering course Better with Less. This was previously a paid course that I created in 2019. I have decided to make the course videos available to everyone on YouTube. Please note that there may be topics discussed in the video that are no longer available, such as the course Facebook group, live coaching sessions, or personal email support.

My partner is the king of this! He makes an interesting concoction for his first breakfast. It has Cream of Wheat, chia seeds, crushed flax, avocado, cinnamon, and more. Second breakfast is a cheese omelet. He almost always has some quinoa prepared for work lunches and dinner. To go with that, he makes a mixture of chickpeas, black beans, corn, salsa, and taco seasoning. Of course, you could switch it up by serving it with rice instead, topping it with cheese, eating it in a taco or as a dip with tortilla chips. My daughter is a vegetarian, so some of our go-to items are things like the Impossible Burger and Yves Italian veggie sausages (either on a bun or with pasta) with a side salad.
