We talk a lot about meal prepping here on the blog and over on our Instagram. Whether it’s saving time, eating healthier, or just avoiding the dreaded “what’s for dinner” panic, meal prep is one of our favorite hacks.
But here’s the thing: In our experience, the absolute best tool for meal prep isn’t a fancy knife set or color-coded Tupperware, or even a fun new cutting board (although we do recommend this one!)—it’s a personal assistant.
That’s right. When you use the power tool that is a personal assistant to support or even kick-start your meal prep routine, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner. Let’s dig into some specifics!
Start at the Store
Your assistant can build a grocery list based on your meal plan, dietary restrictions, and preferences. Then they can cross-check your pantry for what you already have, and even do the grocery shopping (which means they can wait in those long lines at Costco for you!).
Pro tip: Have your PA create a shared grocery list in the iPhone reminders app so that you can update them in real time if they’re out shopping and you remember something! It is automatically organized by store sections (produce, pantry, frozen) to make shopping even more efficient.
Washing, Cutting, Storing
One of the most time-consuming parts of meal prep is the prep before the cooking, plus the work it takes to make sure your fruits don’t go bad the second you get home. Your assistant can wash and cut veggies, portion out fruit, and store everything in clear containers so it’s easy to grab and use throughout the week.
Stocking Your Basics
Having a few staples in the fridge—like grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs, or a big batch of roasted vegetables—makes throwing together meals so much easier. Your assistant can cook and portion these out ahead of time, so you’re always a few steps ahead.
Assembling Snacks and Redy-To-Go Meals
Your assistant can prep lunch bowls, salads, re-heatable breakfast options, and snack packs so that your fridge is full of healthy grab-and-go options. Perfect for busy days when you don’t have time to cook or when you know your kids are coming in and out of the house all day without time for a sit down meal.
The Clean Up
Maybe the most underrated part of meal prep help: clean-up! Whether they’re doing dishes as they go, wiping down the counters, or organizing the fridge, your PA can make sure your kitchen looks just as good as it did when they started.
Meal prepping can be life-changing—but only if it actually fits into your life. A MOD personal assistant makes it doable! Whether they’re handling the parts you don’t enjoy or helping you get started from scratch, they’re the real MVPs of your kitchen.
