Lockdown – from lavish lunching to decadent dining by way of serious snacking, we can safely say we have packed on a bit of what I like to fondly call “Pandemic Poundage” over the past few months. Yup, unfortunately there’s only so much all you can eat madness whilst binging on Netflix that a body can take sadly…and mine had seen a LOT of that over the last 5 months. So I decided it was time to start taking first steps towards getting my weight back to its usual comfort zone. I know part of getting back in control is food prep but heck, food prep can be tiresome, pricey and requires…thinking. I wanted quick, healthy, quality meals that were as convenient as they were tasty and at a good price to boot. So prepare to meet your food prep saviour in the form of Musclefood Prepped Pots!
